Is the Black/Dark Grey Velocissima 2 the same as Black/Red?

Yes — identical performance specification. The only difference is the colourway. Black/Dark Grey is the more neutral option; Black/Red has a bolder accent.

How much does the colour affect heat absorption in Indian summers?

Dark colours absorb 5-10% more solar radiation than light colours in direct sunlight. For most Indian riding conditions wind chill offsets the colour difference. On very hot still days (40 degrees C+) a light-coloured jersey matters more than short colour.

Are these shorts padded?

Yes — the women-specific KISS Air2 pad is built-in. Do not wear cycling underwear or regular shorts beneath padded cycling shorts.
