Assos Dyora R Bib Shorts S11

The Assos Dyora R Bib Shorts S11 are the foundation of Assos's Dyora Racing Series — women's bib shorts built for elite-level training and racing where fit, support, and breathability all need to hold up across long, high-effort hours in the saddle. They sit at the entry point of the Dyora line, delivering race-caliber construction without compromise. If you spend serious time on the road, these are built to match that commitment.

The main body is constructed from Assos's Type.911 textile, a material designed to deliver low-volume muscle compression with a silky, abrasion-resistant surface feel that dries quickly and carries UPF 50+ protection. Raw-cut leg openings with a minimal skinGrip finish hold the shorts in place without creating pressure points or bulky seam edges. The zeroPressure Waist keeps the waistband from digging in when you're riding in an aggressive, aero position — a detail that makes a real difference on longer efforts. The updated X-Frame bib strap system works to stabilize both the insert and the main body panel under hard efforts, reducing sag through the lower back where it tends to matter most.

Design Benefits

1. A female-specific insert engineered for the road: The 9mm Shock-Absorb Damping System uses a 3D Waffle perforated foam structure and a thermoformed shape designed to manage road vibration, reduce friction, and maintain airflow — the kind of insert performance that holds up across full race days or long training rides rather than fading mid-effort.
2. Independent insert movement via goldenGate 2.0: Attaching the insert at the front and rear rather than along its full perimeter allows it to flex and move with your body independently from the outer shell. New side cut-outs further reduce material stacking in the areas that interact most with the pedal stroke, keeping the fit cleaner under load.
3. Compression and stability without restriction: The Type.911 fabric is designed to support muscles without the stiff, heavy feel of heavier compression textiles, while the X-Frame bib architecture limits lower-back sag during sustained high-intensity efforts — a combination intended to keep you riding efficiently well into hard training blocks or race situations.
