The Demand shorts are made using a light weight, breathable, 4 way stretch material as seen on our popular Darkside pants. This ensures ultimate comfort while riding with no excess or baggy material. In addition to this, there are elastic velcro tabs to help dial in the fit.
They are designed to be worn with knee pads so the leg opening is wide enough to accommodate any knee pad you wish to wear, without being too baggy. The shorts are long enough to ensure you don't have any unsightly gap between your shorts and knee pads.
Printed onto the shorts are dark grey reflective logos, subtle branding to keep things low key. And in the purple version there are pink logos for a splash of complementary colour.
The shorts feature one zip pocket just below the waist on each hip, and one zipped pocket on the right thigh. Plenty of room to hold your phone, snacks or whatever else you're carrying around.

Quick delivery and super comfy shorts. Wish I brought them sooner makes a huge difference over wearing regular shorts on the trails.
Feel really comfy and strong at the same time
Frankd gear is consistently the best MTB available. These shorts are a perfect example of how comfortable, hard wearing and functional MTB clothes should be.
One of the few bike brands truly deserving of 5 stars.
Quality MTB shorts. They have pockets, most mtb shorts seem to think we don't need them.
Seem to run a little small, I generally wear large but reading other reviews I went for extra large. Good choice they fit well.
My last pair form Frankd were a gift that I have just about worn through after 5 yrs or good use. These replace the old favs and felt as comfy on the first wear.
Great design and subtle features - Recommended.
Great fit, comfortable and very good quality!
Fit was perfect for my size (34- L) and comfortable. Not as baggy as other mainstream brands I’ve worn
Very happy with the quality and fit of the shorts. Have a nice stretch to them and are a slimmer fit than some of my other shorts.
Comfortable and durable pants
Worn on a number of rides in the last two weeks. Comfy and great fit.
Very good indeed, couldn’t be happier with them. To be honest I bought a couple of new kits and they are beyond what I was expecting, great quality with all the clothing.
The service from the Franked team was fantastic, they went above and beyond to exchange a garnet that didn’t quite fit. The first time. Appreciate the great WA style service 👍
Great fit, not too baggy! They move with your legs, no friction
Another great bit of kit! Fits true to size and the material is so stretchy you don't feel like you're even wearing them...or maybe I wasn't wearing shorts ...
These seem to fit the bill, initial try on suggests they'll be good. They feel super comfy and are the right length for knee pads.
Comfy, flash 🔥👌🏼
By far the best Mtb shorts I have ever owned.
Perfect fit, perfect length, perfect shorts.
Had a pair of Dharco and fox shorts but these are way lighter and more comfortable. The pockets seem to good for anything I want to carry and they are comfortable enough to wear all day.
These shorts are the design I have been looking for. Good phone pocket on the leg and two zip pockets each side higher up. Good fit with adjustable external velcro tabs. The material is stretchy and comfortable, I don't even notice them while riding.
These shorts are fantastic. Probably as close to perfect as you can get. Great fit and great pocket sizing and positioning.
I have been riding the original stable shorts for 3 years and they first pair I purchased are still going strong. The demand shorts are of the same quality and feature more stealthy logos which in my opinion look even better. Would recommend
Fit is pretty good and the material is a bit stretchy which makes them very comfy for riding.
These are so comfortable on the bike, nothing not to like.
New shorts day! These look and feel awesome, super lightweight and have some stretch to them. Im a 32 normally and the M/32 fits perfectly.
