Assos UMA GT Half Shorts S11 - Black Series

The UMA GT Half Shorts S11 are strap-free cycling shorts designed to deliver the comfort and support Assos specifies for endurance riding while shedding the coverage of traditional bibs. Built for days when bib straps feel unnecessary- hot summer miles, indoor trainers or casual rides- these half shorts keep focus on fit, breathability and the riding position. The design extends the leg length slightly for a modern silhouette without affecting pedalling freedom.

Construction uses a lighter, highly breathable textile across the legs to improve airflow and reduce perceived heat on long efforts. Panels are cut and assembled to follow the female cycling form so the garment stays in place under load. Assos applies their GT chamois insert, engineered to provide long-distance cushioning and pressure relief, mounted to the short so it moves with the body and reduces bunching or hot spots. Seams and panel junctures are minimised where possible to lower friction against the skin during repeated pedal strokes.

Fit and finish matter when you are logging hours in the saddle. A redesigned leg hem features an updated silicone-free gripper that secures the short without pinching, while a slightly elongated leg gives a cleaner look and consistent compression through the thigh. The waist is cut for a low-profile, comfortable hold that pairs well with road and indoor jerseys. Because these are half shorts rather than bibs, they are quick to pull on and remove for rapid trainer sessions or cafe stops.
