Reviews
Customers consistently praised these bib shorts for exceptional comfort and quality at an excellent price point. The chamois padding received particular acclaim, with shoppers noting it "stays comfy for hours" and provides superior performance compared to more expensive alternatives. Fit is highly accurate per sizing charts, with leg grippers effectively keeping everything in place.
- Chamois is great - stays comfy for hours. Leg grips keep things in place.
- More comfortable than others I have paid twice as much for
- Best quality bibs for the price on the market today.
I’ve been trying to find the right bibs to fit. For a few years I’ve been wearing another known brand and they have been great But these Caffeine and Cranks are the next big thing. I’m 6’6 and a Clydesdale so 113kg. I ordered the 3xl and they are awesome. Cheers legends I’ll be ordering more soon. 🍻🪖🚵♂️🥑
Wore the for the first time this weekend on the Ride to Cute Cancer…. Magic…. Just as good as other brands that are twice the price .
Quality materials, great fit!
Super comfortable on long rides
Bin fits perfectly works a little better than the more expensive Bibs love them
Really comfortable, have held up well so far after many uses.
Great fit and comfort, I’ll be back for more
I finally found what I was looking for with the C&C core bib shorts -good fit, good compression, superb padding, superb braces and great value.
These are my permanent gravel knicks with regular rides and races exceeding 5 hours.
Just perfect!
Chamois is great - stays comfy for hours. Leg grips keep things in place. Nice fit.
This is my second pair of C&C bibs. Chamois is comfortable, shoulder straps sit well, and the grippers on the legs work perfectly with no movement.
Great quality bib, very impressed!
My favourite knicks. Very comfortable and high quality material. Will definitely be adding more kits to my wardrobe.
I am very impressed with these bib shorts. They fit perfectly. The sizing help provided by the website was very useful. They are very comfortable on the saddle. So far I've only done rides up to around 50km but I feel very confident they will perform well on upcoming longer rides.
New nicks are always the bomb. These being Australian and spot on for fit and comfort I will be buying more. Will also upgrade to the Pinnicle.
Very comfortable on my first ride, the material quality feels great would definitely recommend
Great fit, comfortable on the short rides I’ve done in them so far. Good value!
Great quality shorts with a great chamois.Tested on a 120km ride straight up with no issues followed by a run off the bike. Would normally have swapped out of the bib into running shorts but no need with this bib. Unsure if intentional but nice work.
Excellent cut and quality, can't ask for more. Chamois is extremely comfortable for hours in the saddle and there is no slip between it and the fabric.
Very comfy Bib with great chamois and good value
Been racing for well over 30 years.
I've had knicks from budget to home made to elite makes.
These are definitely well worth the money and very comfortable.
I was initially dubious with how thick the chamois felt but once riding the knicks and chamois were on point 👌
Great fit, nice design, chamois feels nice will need to give it a good test on a longer road though but so far so good
LOVE THEM!
The perfect balance
It is becoming increasingly rare to find the perfect balance between quality and value in any industry today. These guys have nailed it.
Comfort: Short bunches 10/10 Rides Over 100km 9/10
The feel 10/10
The look and range of colours 10/10
Delivery and ordering 10/10
I cannot see or feel any difference in quality between we Caffeine & Cranks Knicks and Peddle Mafia or Black Sheep.
Highly recommended.
Thanks guys, love your work!
I had the pleasure of putting the Caffeine and Cranks kit through its paces during the Tour de Brisbane today, and it’s safe to say it’s a cracker.
In the middle of a stinking hot Brisbane day, the last thing you want is gear that feels heavy or traps the heat. This kit was exceptionally lightweight and breathable, keeping me comfortable throughout the entire ride. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into the fabric and the fit—it really feels like a second skin rather than an extra layer in the humidity. 🇦🇺
The Verdict
• Comfort: Top-tier. No chafing or discomfort even after hours in the saddle.
• Temperature Control: Brilliant for the Queensland climate; it wicks moisture away and stays light.
• Overall: Exceptional quality that stands up to the rigours of a long event.
Huge thanks to the team at Caffeine and Cranks.
