Tuned for gravel and singletrack, these bibs feature a stabilizing chamois, durable fabric, and integrated storage for all-day off-road comfort

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"The Type.911 fabric feels light yet incredibly tough, perfect for resisting abrasions from brush, gravel, and trail debris. The TACTICA T5 chamois provides just the right amount of padding, absorbing chatter without feeling bulky. I love the integrated thigh pockets, which keep essentials within reach without affecting movement. The rollBar suspension system ensures my chamois stays put on long climbs and rough descents. These bibs are my go-to for all-day gravel and adventure rides."


Built for the demands of gravel racing and singletrack exploration, the TACTICA Kieskäfer Gravel Bib Shorts T5 combine supportive compression, vibration-dampening comfort, and smart storage for off-road performance. The Type.911 fabric is lightweight yet abrasion-resistant, providing breathability, muscle stabilization, and UPF 50+ sun protection.


The TACTICA T5 chamois is engineered with Shock-Absorb Damping Mono, a single-layer, 11mm foam insert that absorbs vibrations from gravel roads and technical trails. The GoldenGate 2.0 construction allows the chamois to move independently from the shorts, eliminating friction and enhancing comfort on long rides. The rollBar suspension system keeps everything secure, preventing chamois shift as we transition between sitting and standing efforts.


For storage, the integrated thigh pockets provide easy-access space for ride essentials, ensuring fuel, tools, or extra layers are always within reach. The PILtec Plug-In microdot silicone leg grippers keep the shorts in place without excessive pressure, and the zeroPressure waist eliminates discomfort while maintaining a secure fit. Whether taking on multi-day gravel races or weekend backcountry loops, the TACTICA Kieskäfer Gravel Bib Shorts T5 provide the durability, comfort, and storage we need.

These fit pretty much like my Equipe RS bibs but with slightly less compression. They are not a relaxed fit though. They definitely still feel like a racing bib. I love how wide Assos makes their straps. They’re never twisted and they’re the perfect tension. The chamois is the same shape as the Equipe S11 pad but adds a few millimeters of thickness to handle more rugged riding surfaces.
