O’Neal Matrix MTB Shorts
Lightweight, Durable & Designed for the Trails: The O’Neal Matrix MTB Shorts are a no-nonsense choice for mountain bikers who want comfort, practicality and freedom of movement. Built from lightweight 4-way stretch fabric, they’re designed to handle rugged trails while keeping you cool and mobile. These shorts come complete with a removable padded liner, making them suitable for long rides or casual off-bike wear. Whether you’re hitting the dirt or heading to the café after your ride, these shorts are up for both.
Key Features:
- Lightweight, breathable construction for hot Aussie rides
- 4-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement
- Removable padded inner liner for extra comfort on the bike
- Quad-snap waist closure for a secure, adjustable fit
- Designed to fit over knee pads
- Single zippered pocket for small essentials
Who is this for?
Ideal for riders who want the comfort of a chamois without committing to lycra. Perfect for mountain bikers who tackle technical trails, gravel tracks or local singletrack, and want gear that looks and feels good before, during and after the ride.
Who is this not for?
Not suited to road cyclists chasing aero gains or those needing multiple pockets for endurance rides. If you’re after full bib-and-brace race kit or high-compression fabrics, this isn’t the piece for you.
Why we love it:
These shorts strike the right balance between trail-ready function and casual style. The removable liner is a win for versatility – ride with it, remove it after, and you’ve got a practical pair of casual shorts. The secure waist closure and fit over knee pads show someone at O’Neal actually rides.
