Have you been in an accident that was completely your fault?

Accident – an unfortunate incident that can cause damage to yourself, your bike, and most unfortunately.. your latest DFYRS merchandise. When described this way, an accident just sounds like something we have to deal with; something often unavoidable, that you’ll just have to get over. 

HOWEVER.. this is not the case. 

IF YOU STACK, WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK!

 

We are now offering a 40% crash replacement discount on our kit if it manages to sustain damage on the trail within a year of purchase!

At DFYRS, we believe that our kit is built to withstand the trials and tribulations of mountain biking, but big incidents do happen. Whether that involves skimming yourself along the floor after a poorly executed landing, or clipping a tree trying to maintain the inside line on some techy steeps. The bottom line is, if you stack, we've got your back.

built tough

Constructed from lightweight 4-way stretch ripstop nylon, these shorts balance durability, flexibility and comfort for long rides, park laps and everyday trail graft.

dialled cut

A dipped knee cut and low-friction liner help the shorts glide smoothly over your knee pads while pedalling, reducing bunching and keeping things comfortable when the ride gets physical.

Customer photo review of Spectre | Trail Short | Shovel Rust

The new Spectre Trail shorts are banger. Fully elasticated for a snug fit, plenty long enough to avoid the dreaded d***khead thigh gap, light and airy as shorts should be, and plenty of stretch and flex in the material for when you get fully sendy on your pedal pony. TLDR: they're sick, will make you 90% faster and infinitely more attractive to other riders. 🤘🏻

Nice fitting! stretchy so don’t come loose like shorts with a fastener, zip pockets very handy, light weight dry very quickly, would definitely recommend.

Customer photo review of Spectre | Trail Short | Turned Earth

Firstly, great brand clearly developed by riders which is why I’ve been looking for an excuse to make a purchase. I’ve been riding for years and I have the same mindset buying kit as I do with my bikes which is function, durability, and fit and these are a class pair of shorts. As described they are lightweight which makes them real comfortable and the material on the back makes them super breathable. Material feels mid-weight toughness and so far have been pretty good on keeping me dry but it is summer! Fit and look are spot on with enough room for oversized quads and the colourway is just lovely. I rode yesterday in them paired with some of the new Rab Cinder under shorts and I’m happy to say that, that combination is close to being the best shorts I’ve used in 30 years. I have only been using them for around a month now but so far 👌 Looking forward to my next ride. Keepon-keepin-on Dfyrs!!

Customer photo review of Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

They are exactly what you want from MTB shorts, they fit well and stay together and in place even if you take a small detour from your bike or plant your ass on the back wheel casing a jump! Great product from a great brand.

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Excellent shorts I might upsize next time as they seem to be slightly slim fitting I’m a 33 waist in everything and the L is a snug fit.

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Didn’t realize these are pull on, without a fly. Not the biggest deal but be aware. Really like the fit a lot. Perfect waist and length. Love the ripstop style fabric. About my only slight criticism is the pockets could be deeper, but they’re fine really. Would absolutely buy another pair in a different color. Nice stuff.

Spectre | Trail Short | Turned Earth

Colour- great, fit - great, comfort - excellent Elastic waist - not sold on it, no adjustment, can’t see the point of belt loops Just 2 pockets albeit with quality zips. Wonder how long that elastic will last?

Spectre | Trail Short | Turned Earth

Really are the best shorts I've tried they fit perfectly and never slip down very water repellent love them

Spectre | Trail Short | Shovel Rust

Love these shorts. At 6'2" I have struggled to find a pair of shorts that fell right and fit over knee pads but these shorts are awesome. I am a 34" waist and tried both Large and X-Large but found the Large a bit too tight around the waist so opted for the X-Large which are perfect for me. There is no button / fly on these shorts and the waist band is loose and comfortable but feels secure. Belt loops allow for a belt if added security is required. At first, I thought that the material was a bit 'thin' but I have worn these shorts for trail, park and enduro and they are very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Spectre | Trail Short | Turned Earth

My new favourite pair of shorts - great material and fit - perfect for summer riding. The elastic waistband works really well - much less material so doesn’t bunch or get too sweaty.

Spectre | Trail Short | Shovel Rust

Slightly tight on the waist I'm usually a 31"-32 " Super stretchy Nice material Good quality Look great imo Only used them in the gym so far.. I'm happy with them.

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Amazing gear as always fits as good as it looks and is well comfy .would recommend DYFRS to any rider .🔥

Spectre | Trail Short | Turned Earth

Solid shorts, sized up and thought they’d be baggier but still sick shorts, maybe I got thick thighs 😂

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Nice waist band that isn’t too tight. I’m 6’5” and 200 lbs and chose the XXL size. I like the length as well.

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Amazing fit, comfy and great material. More than happy with your products and will definitely recommend. Thank You Ryan

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Wow Just wow 👌 These are my new go to shorts. Tested full day at Bike Park Wales hot dry dusty conditions.very comfortable. Fast drying after the wash and I love the subtle graphics on the right leg Pockets good for a phone or credit card. Though I prefer to ride with empty pockets I'm wearing them now for our regular night ride. I'm buying the turned earth ones as soon as they are in stock

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Great shorts and although i was a little scepical of the simple elasticated waste band it works really well great fit room to move yet still look well fitted, far more comfortable on the bike than others that cut you up around the groin by the time you have armour undernrath would highly recommend .I also have your jacket and some socks all great quality

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Not what I was expecting. These shorts are great for hot weather riding,light weight and the rubber section in the back stops them from moving about. There really comfortable aswell

Spectre | Trail Short | Shadow Black

Comfy sketchy and even gives a chonky mon plenty of room for the extra jiggly bits. Spot on And who doesn't like free socks especially when there as good as these 🤌👌👊

Spectre | Trail Short | Turned Earth

Great gear! Fits really well - like cycling clothing but not too tight - great materials, high-quality, very well designed. I've already received a lot of compliments for both the shorts and jersey from my riding friends.

Spectre | Trail Short | Shovel Rust

The shorts threw me for a loop at first because they stretch in the rear so it was awkward to get on if you've got a pants problem but I really like they way they wear and feel! Great riding shorts.

Spectre | Trail Short | Shovel Rust

Great quality riding gear at a good price - the delivery however was extremely fast and arrived perfectly on time - great job
