Beware of big brand Chinese made approximations of this product.

MOTUS have evolved from our best selling NINJAS- possibly the world’s best adventure racing, multisport and rogaining knicks.

These race day versions make the most of the proven NINJA foundation of:

- Meryl Nateo fabric for 24/7 stretch, comfort, UPF protection, wickability, breathability and durability.

- AR-MS specific iRULE designed and Italian made nanochamois with a Coolmax core that breathes, wicks and gives antibacterial protection within an outer layer of intelligent thermo regulating Outlast to help keep your lower region at an even temperature.

- Soft, non -invasive silicon-rubber leg grippers.

- Patent-pending Pocketplex� ergonomic thigh-based holster system for gels, bottles, phone.

From this foundation we have crafted important race-day advantages:

- No inside leg seams for optimising leg movement.

- Flat-sewn seams to reduce any possibility of pressure points over expedition length events.

- Lightweight Tactel� mesh side panels and Pocketplex� for greater airflow and drip-through in water hazards.

WHAT iRULERS SAY

“my Motus shorts are so nice! I wore them for the first time in a race 2 weekends ago and I love them. Dont feel a thing. They dont even hint at chaffing and we were swimming in salt water right from the start, they dry out quick, dont sag at all when wet, and I couldnt feel the chamois at all when running. Thanks very much!”
— Tom Landon-Smith
“Just wanted to tell you how much I love racing in my MOTUS. The best thing about them is I forget what I’m wearing. They don’t pinch, stay wet, catch on anything or chafe. Best bit of clothing I’ve bought so far.”
— Mark Bubner (Aust)
“The MOTUS are pretty close to perfect. The fabric is magnificent, cut and shape ideal, Pocketplex thoughtful and very, very handy.”
— Nathan Coe (USA)
“Since chaffing in a pair of baggy bike shorts a few years ago, ive raced in nothing but my iRule Ninjas and Motus since. They are incredible! It doesn’t matter if ive been charging around in salt water, or riding some unforgiving terrain, the iRule gear keeps my toosh fresh and damage-free. The pockets handle everything from compass to a large folded map, and keep everything safe and within easy reach. The Ninjas and new Motus are the greatest nicks i’ve ever worn, cant fault them!”
— Matt Koerber (Aust)
“My Motus are the best pair of knicks I have owned. I use them for running, AR and MTB.They are without a doubt the most comfortable and best designed shorts I have used. Having no inside leg seams, and flat-sewn seams everywhere else, makes a huge difference to comfort during endurance events. The other big plus point
for me is the side pockets which are invaluable. A very well thought our product that was obviously designed by
people who actually participate in endurance sports themselves!”
— Simon Carlson (Aust)
“Why would you tackle the Coast to Coast without them? Simply awesome multi sport short nothing comes close in terms of comfort and function.”
— Mike Sherwin(NZ)

WHAT THE COMMUNITY SAYS

Me and my Motus by Chris Taylor at 07 November 2006, 11:36AM

Me and my Motus: sure it’s the fickly psychological hang-up of the Alpha male in all the gear, but for better or worse, I’m now training harder, running longer and faster.
Great dry or wet, never so much as hint of a chafe, enough room for the jewels a
… and these ones don’t smell!
I just can’t seem to get them through the washer quick enough!

I’ve even developed a new regime based on how many gels I can fit in the pockets.

Thinking about wearing them under my suit on the commute into London for work – just to get that extra lunge to catch the train, to give my elbows added pointiness on the crammed tube, to wear them for the power commute – because I can.

I think iRULE gear might be my downfall … and that’s why I love my Motus.
