DYORA R Bib Shorts S11

Assos DYORA R Bib Shorts S11

The Assos DYORA R Bib Shorts S11 is the centerpiece of the DYORA Racing Series and targets female riders seeking a second-skin fit with noticeable compression for training and racing. The foundation is the lightweight Type.911 fabric, which provides stabilizing support with high breathability and remains comfortably unobtrusive in aggressive riding positions. The women-specific DYORA R S11 chamois uses the goldenGate 2.0 construction, allowing the pad to move with your movements and reduce friction. Magazines like 220 Triathlon highlight the minimal seams, low front for aerodynamic positions, and airy-light feel as positive features.

• Type.911 warp-knit fabric: silky-smooth, abrasion-resistant, hydrophobic, quick-drying, with odorControl and UPF 50+.
• Aerodynamic racingFit with second-skin silhouette and slightly longer leg length than regularFit.
• zeroPressure Waist: highly elastic waistband that reduces pressure in low, athletic positions.
• skinGrip raw-cut leg endings with minimalist silicone grip for secure hold without excessive pressure.
• X-Frame A-shaped straps for stabilizing the chamois and back panel during high intensity.
• Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9: breathable 9mm racing platform, thermoformed against edges and irritation.
• 3D Waffle: perforated, three-layer foam for increased ventilation and reduced weight.
• goldenGate 2.0: freely suspended chamois with new cutouts for friction reduction during pedaling.
• Material composition: Main material 80% PA / 20% EA; chamois cover 85% PL / 15% EA.

Technical Details and Features

The new Type.911 fabric combines a smooth, abrasion-resistant surface with compact support behavior, stays deep black even when stretched, and provides additional protection with UPF 50+. The women-specific chamois uses the Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9 with 3D Waffle, improving breathability and targeted cushioning during long rides. Thanks to goldenGate 2.0, the chamois core is only fixed at the front and back, with the sides remaining mobile – so the pad follows your pedaling motion instead of working against it. skinGrip endings sit cleanly without seams, while the simplified X-Frame straps ensure back panel stability; the zeroPressure Waist distributes pressure comfortably across the waist. The result is a sleek, race-ready system that specifically reduces friction points and maximizes breathability in summer.

Applications and Benefits

Whether fast laps around Lake Zurich, intervals on flat terrain, or alpine rides over Swiss passes: these bib shorts are designed for daily training and racing in summer. The racingFit cut minimizes air resistance and fabric flutter, while the compression stabilizes large muscle groups and can noticeably reduce fatigue. The low waistband construction supports a low, aerodynamic position; at the same time, the minimal seams and quick-drying fabric ensure a cool microclimate. In independent tests, the DYORA R S11 is praised for its airy feel and thoughtful, reduced construction – ideal for long, intensive sessions.

Fit, Variants and Sizes

Assos classifies the DYORA R Bib Shorts S11 as racingFit, which sits close to the body and runs slightly longer compared to regularFit; this is normal when trying on and optimized for the position on the bike. Sizes range from XS to 2XL, covering a broad spectrum, with the compressive fit intentionally appearing tight. We carry this model in five variants, so you can choose the right option for your setup based on size and color. Color-wise, Assos offers options like blackSeries, Edge Green, and Secret Blue, which combine seamlessly with jerseys from the Racing Series.

Summer Setup Combination

For a cohesive race setup, Assos recommends pairing these shorts with the DYORA R Jersey S11, Racing Socks S11, and matching ASSOSOIRES from the Summer 1/3 Racing Series. This creates a system that's coordinated in cut and materials, maintaining consistent temperature management and aerodynamics. Especially in hot Swiss conditions, you'll benefit from the airy construction that quickly wicks moisture and dries fast. This modular approach also makes it easier to match your wardrobe to weather and intensity without sacrificing performance details.
