Dharco is known for giving its products some bold designs \u2013 even for mountain bike clothing \u2013 and these leopard print Gravity Pants bring the feverish dancefloors of a 1980s nightclub to the trails.<\/p>\n

The mountain bike trousers aren\u2019t just about looks, though, Dharco has packed in plenty of technical features too.<\/p>\n

The Gravity Pants are available from Dharco\u2019s website and are priced at \u00a3126 \/ $156 \/ \u20ac139.95 \/ AU$189.95.<\/p>\n

The Gravity Pants are made from a Bluesign-approved water-resistant four-way stretch fabric. Dharco says the fabric blends softness and breathability, while using fewer chemicals and water in the production process than other mountain bike trousers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The leopard print covers almost all of the pants\u2019 panels. Only a small black panel features the Dharco logo.<\/p>\n

A double-button closure is used to fasten the pants, with added Velcro positioned beneath the buttons for extra strength.<\/p>\n

The waist features an elasticated internal belt that can be adjusted using the Velcro tabs on the hips.<\/p>\n

Dharco says it has given the Gravity Pants an \u2018articulated cut\u2019, enabling extra freedom of movement.<\/p>\n

The cut also allows room for mountain bike knee pads<\/a>, with the brand adding a second layer of fabric at the knee area for durability, acting as a knee patch of sorts.<\/p>\n

The trousers have three pockets, with a large weatherproof zip featuring on the right thigh, a small \u2018key\u2019 pocket on the left, and a rear pocket above the backside that\u2019s big enough for a small phone.<\/p>\n

Fancy pants<\/h2>\n

While the Gravity Pants will be at home at the bike park or in the forest, jungles are seemingly out of the question due to the risk of poachers.<\/p>\n

However, these pants might be perfect if a mullet tickles your neck when riding fast, or if you want to go to your next fancy dress ride as Joe Exotic.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
