Competitively tuned bib shorts for cross-country racing and training with more speed than baggies and far more durability than Lycra. Sticks and stones shred lightweight bib shorts and they’re often unavoidable obstacles on trails. Our XC Bib Shorts balance the breathability and stretch of our road bibs with the thigh-girding protection of ripstop panels on the outer legs. The final construction is the result of prototype testing on the legs of our World Cup riders who swept the 2017 team standings while assuring us that these are the most breathable abrasion-resistant bib shorts they’ve ever worn. 65%PA 25%EA 10%PE

Engineered for the Female Athlete The Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9 are borne of Assos' desire to make the best performing and most comfortable shorts for the most demanding of women cyclists. Engineered with a host of innovative features they provide incredible comfort when you're climbing and descending, out of the saddle sprinting, in the saddle pushing hard on the pedals and moving over long hours of riding. They're designed to offer comfort during even the toughest of race conditions. A-Lock Engineering A-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.441 textile. This is a fabric which has exceptional compression qualities and with its silk feel is incredibly comfortable against the skin. Not only that it's quick-wicking, anti-odour and durable, the perfect fabric for performance cycling. Float like a Butterfly The next phase of the A-Lock engineering system are significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and a seat insert that stays in place perfectly. Firstly the panelling number is reduced, reducing complexity and weight while enhancing comfort. The result of using fewer panels is also a reduction in seams, again boosting comfort through the elimination of chafing while also saving more weight. The panels are then engineered into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts or how much you shift weight. rollBar Bib Design The bib straps also get completely redesigned, with a brand new rollBar system for unrivalled support of the lower shorts section. The rollBar system acts just like an anti-sway bar in a car, the straps stabilising and securing the seat insert in place as you move. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made from a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat - the result is extremely lightweight straps you will barely notice. They're positioned wider apart at the front too, taking into account the female anatomy and accommodating a wide range of body shapes. Women's DYORA RS Insert At the heart of the Dyora RS Bib Shorts is the women's specific Women's DYORA RS Insert. This seat pad takes race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin to offer all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Then a superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. Lastly, the goldenGate technology, a patented design, sees interrupts stitching along both of the insert’s side panels to allow more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area. In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels. Their finest fitting and most comfortable women's cycling shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.

The Premio Black Bib Shorts are engineered to deliver premium long-distance comfort, strategically using the latest fabric technology to create a short that delivers big on comfort, support, speed and durability.The first thing that is notable about the Premio is what is missing: the seams and panels.

The lower leg has a raw-cut ending with silicone backed yarn to keep the shorts in place, while the four-way stretch fabric in the thigh provides just the right amount of muscle support.The premium fabric extends into the back and is perforated for ventilation. Around the pelvis the fabric is slightly thicker to offer compression, keeping Castelli’s top-of-the-line Progetto X2 seat pad in place, and avoiding any transparency issues.Key FeaturesPremium bib shorts for all-conditions,Gradient stretch woven fabric for support where you need it,Woven fabric that weighs 30% less than comparable knit fabrics,Perforated back bib panel and lie-flat bib straps,Integrated gripper elastic at the leg endings,Laser-etched logos,Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad,14° – 38°C / 57° – 100°F,Weight: 156g (Small).

As with any Castelli bib short, the Free Unlimited Cycling Bib Shorts are all about comfort and flexibility. And it doesn't get more comfortable than the Progetto X² Air seamless seat pad inside. With a super-soft stretchy top layer, copious ventilation and supportive padding, it excels over longer distances. Engineered for Adventure Flexibility comes by the way of the Forza 2 fabric. 32% Lycra® content offers just the right degree of compression and muscle support while allowing smooth and powerful pedalling. At the bottom of the legs, a raw-cut edge and the compressive Forza ensures a perfect fit without the need of a gripper. Less weight and more comfort. With abrasion-resistant Dyneema® side protection, you can lean into loose gravel turns with more confidence too – it could be the difference between a hole in shorts and road rash or dusting yourself down and carrying on riding. To the upper body, minimalist bib-straps see material stripped away, saving weight and boosting ventilation. Across the lower back, 2 mesh pockets provide storage space, while the legs also get pockets, made in light and fast-wicking materials so you don't notice they're there. This lets you forgo a traditional pocketed cycling jersey and go ride in a performance cycling tee. Progetto X² Air Seat Pad The pro-level Progetto X2 Air seat pad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. The seat pad is constructed in 3 layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available.
