Why We Like The Outdoor Research Freewheel Ride Pant
Outdoor Research packed the Freewheel Ride Pant with ride-ready features to keep us rolling through trails without any hesitation. Along with a trim silhouette, these pants have a stretchy, durable fabric and technical fit features that improve our comfort, boost our pedaling power, and keep the style secure. Outdoor Research layered their DuraPrint overlay in the high-wear ankle zone to prevent abrasion from pedals, chains, and trailside brush.

Awesome pants
They pants are comfortable, stretchy and hold my cell phone and keys. These pants are for cooler days on the trail. They don’t get you too hot and wick away sweat very efficiently

Comfy and Durable
I really like the fit of these pants. Tight enough to not be in the way when riding, yet not so tight that it looks like I'm trying to pull off a look that wouldn't be great for me. Had a fairly high speed crash in these on pavement and they literally saved my skin. The only road-rash I had was a small spot on a knee where I hit the ground, and even then it was more of a friction burn than road rash. The pants were no worse for the wear. The fall did not create any holes or even much abrasion on the pants. They also hold up on the trail. I live in raspberry country and the thorns catch the material but it's held up real well. The pants worked well enough for me that my wife went out and bought herself a pair for her rides.

Tights? Never Again
I bought a pair right before our Utah MTB trip due to cooler temps. Great slim fit but not like tights. Cut well for riding and look great. Easy to move back off the saddle and back on without a hitch. Perfect pocket for my phone. Love ‘em!

Awesome Bike Pants!
Best pair of riding pants I've owned. Fit is great. Love the "in between" sizing options (e.g. 33, 35).

Bravo!!
These pants are very well constructed and feel amazing on the trails. These handled everything from long climbs to gnarly descents. They kept me cool, dry, and protected & had ample room for my knee pads. My only complaint is the waistband, which seemed to be a little stuffer then I’d like but overall an exceptional pair of MTB pants! Buy these!!

Best all-around MTB pants
Perfect weight bike pants for riding in the bike park or pedaling all day. The side pockets are awesome for phones and anything else you are carrying to keep them out of the way. BUY THESE and you won’t regret it!

Great pants so far.
Early review so no comments on durability. Great overall design. The zippers at the bottom are perfect for sliding up and down knee pads for pedaling. Pocket placement is perfect for pedaling with phone and credit cards in pockets. Fit is just tight enough and material feels great. Overall very impressed.
