Best known for its technical excellence and premium performance apparel, Assos has refreshed its 2025 summer offerings with striking new colourways in the Equipe R and Dyora R collections.
These racing-focused line-ups are designed for men and women, and consist of class-leading bib shorts and highly breathable short-sleeved jerseys positioned at more accessible price points.
While there are certainly more budget-friendly options on the market, the collections play into Assos’ “buy less, buy better” philosophy, where quality and durability are key to making sustainable choices that’ll benefit you in the longer term.
With gorgeous navy and khaki bib shorts paired with pastel-coloured jerseys and a special-edition design, the new minimalist kit is set to be a real head-turner, without compromising on the quality and comfort we’ve come to expect from the Swiss brand.
Equipe R and Dyora R bib shorts
The new men’s Equipe R and women’s Dyora R bib shorts share all the same features you’ve come to know and love from Assos bib shorts, with a few improvements on the outgoing models.
The most notable technical changes are the improved shape of the high-density 9mm foam chamois – which is specific to either the Equipe R or Dyora R shorts for men and women.
The new cut-out design of the goldenGate 2.0 chamois attachment reduces volume.
The Equipe R and Dyora R chamois still feature Assos’ patented three-layer 3D waffle design, which is said to promote breathability with a lightweight construction.
The bib shorts are also complete with Assos’ zeroPressure waist design and raw-cut leg hems for ultimate comfort. To keep the shorts in place, a series of low-profile silicone grippers line the hem on the inside and back of the leg.
The highly elastic Type.911 material ensures a compressive fit while also giving good sweat-wicking and abrasion-resistant properties.
When it comes to colourways, you’ve now got a good choice; Black Series, the sleek Secret Blue, or a pale khaki, named Edge Green.
All three offer a modern, minimalist style, with very subtle branding.
The Equipe R and Dyora R bib shorts retail at £165 / €190 / $210, and are available in seven sizes from XS-3XL in the men’s cut and six sizes from XS-2XL in the women’s.
Equipe R and Dyora R jerseys
Completing the set, the Equipe R and Dyora R jerseys add contrast against the black, blue or green of the bib shorts.
There are five block colours to choose from, including Black Series, Terra Sand, Stella Lavender, Flame Orange, Halo Green and Future Dusk, as well as a special-edition Violet Trip Surface patterned design.
Like the new shorts, these are wonderfully minimalist in design, letting the contemporary selection of colourways and premium kit performance do the talking.
The Equipe R and Dyora R jersey AirCell fabrics have been selected for their ultra-light and ventilating properties, with a hexagonal knit pattern aiding airflow for the hottest days in the saddle. The material is also very stretchy and soft against the skin for day-long comfort and offers UPF 15 protection.
The jersey features three reinforced pockets on the rear and a lightweight waistband backed with silicone microdots to help keep it perfectly in place as you ride.
At the sleeves and zip, the jersey is bonded rather than stitched, giving a flawless finish with minimal bulk or irritation.
The Equipe R and Dyora R jerseys retail at £130 / €150 / $175, including the special-edition Surface designs. There are seven or six sizes available, with XS-3XL for the men’s and XS-2XL for the women’s cuts.
Mix and match
A pop of colour or something more understated? It’s all possible with the new Equipe R and Dyora R collections, put together to offer some classic colour combinations as well as more bold choices.
What’s more, at excellent mid-range prices, there’s nothing stopping you from picking up a few different colourways to mix and match, with the confidence that Assos’ signature quality will keep these staples in your cycling wardrobe for many years to come.
