Pas Normal Studios
The Pas Normal Studios Women's Mechanism Bibs are performance-focused cycling bib shorts designed for high-intensity training and racing. Constructed from highly elastic, compressive textiles, they provide a close aerodynamic fit while allowing unrestricted movement in an aggressive riding position.
The updated construction introduces mesh-structured shoulder straps for increased stretch and breathability, along with a higher front rise for improved comfort. Breathable mesh panels at the front and back help manage heat during hard efforts, while zigzag in-seam chamois stitching reduces friction between the seam and saddle and improves durability.
Key features
Performance profile
Chamois & construction
The chamois is integrated using zigzag in-seam stitching to minimise friction against the saddle while increasing durability. The bib construction combines compressive lower-body fabrics with breathable mesh sections and stretchable shoulder straps for stable support during hard efforts.
Size & fit
The Mechanism fit is tight, compressive, and aerodynamic, shaped around an aggressive riding position without restricting mobility.
Care & washing instructions
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar garments. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or tumble dry. Air dry to help preserve the elasticity, grippers, and chamois performance.

Alba Optics
The ABR1 Pocket Bib Shorts are made for the longest days on the bike. Albion developed them with ultra-distance riders, and they've been ridden to wins and record times on the Tour Divide, the Atlas Mountain Race and the Highland Trail 550. If your rides are measured in hours rather than kilometres, start here.
Two mesh leg pockets and a rear side-entry pocket let you carry a phone, gels or a wind jacket without touching your jersey pockets. That's handy on gravel and bikepacking trips, and just as useful on a long road day. Everything stays reachable while you ride.
The Albion x Elastic Interface chamois is built for long hours in the saddle. The 2025 update adds a higher gauge main fabric for more compression and polypropylene-knit straps that move moisture away faster. A hidden Rear Guard panel above the pad makes the shorts last longer.
An on-bike fit that runs true to size, with a reduced number of panels and flatlock seams. Our studio model is 180 cm (chest 91 cm, inner leg 80 cm) and wears size S. Want to compare them with your current bibs? Try them on in one of our stores in Amsterdam, Utrecht or Rotterdam.
