A bib shorts ready to follow you for hours
Keen on long distance, you're looking for shorts that won't let you go. The GRAND FONDO is your endurance ally. Abrasion and UV resistant, it stays in place. Designed for outings up to 6-7 hours, its advantages are numerous.
Le italian fabric of the GRAN FONDO shorts is produced with elastomers. A textile whose elastic properties are surprising. It can be pulled or relaxed, it will return to its starting state, without deformation.
For comfort and performance, the heart of the GRAN FONDO is also equipped with the chamois leather Combi men from Elastic Interface. Perfect for protect sensitive areas great pressure points. Long-distance enthusiasts will appreciate it.
GRAN FONDO are bib shorts which, in addition to the quality of the fabric, has been designed for the needs of enduring cyclists:
- High resistance to abrasion, UV (UPF50 +) and humidity. Its fabric with carbon threads in the middle of the straps provides better moisture evacuation;
- Exceptional support on the leg and shoulders : a wide silicone band, thin, light and comfortable at the bottom of the thigh, provides quality support on the leg. The flexible, comfortable and sufficiently wide straps keep the shorts permanently on the shoulders.
The GRAN FONDO bib shorts are sober. It is available in 3 classic colors. But your visibility is guaranteed. An iridescent logo on the left thigh and a rear logo ensure your security during late afternoon outings. They are reflective in the light of the headlights.
When I was a cycling coach, my teammates asked for professional-quality bib shorts. What counts for them: comfort. Their 3 criteria are lightness, stitching quality and breathability. In addition, who says long hours of cycling, says search for visibility when night falls. The equipment must be provided with reflective elements, especially if it is dark in color. Following all these requirements, I created GRAN FONDO.
When I go out by bike, I always wear a bib shorts. I find this model much more practical. And to design the ideal model, I tested different finishes. In parallel, I also asked the advice of my professional cycling friends. You know everything !

After having “fallen for” the Grand Fondo bib shorts in gray, a nice surprise for this soft and light shade which radically changes from “that black” which is so commonplace. Satisfaction with the wide straps, different from my old models.
Satisfaction also with the “chamois” which meets my expectations in terms of comfort.
In short, only good things from Ozio.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Michel for your comment. You are right, this color brings a little novelty while remaining sober and elegant. Happy summer season! See you soon.

Practicing long distance, I have been faithful to the Gran Fondo model since 2018, at the rate of one pair of shorts per year to cover my 15 to 16 km annually. I highly recommend this gran fondo which allows me to spend hours in the saddle without warming up.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Alain for your opinion as a long-term rider and thank you for your loyalty. I wish you great future long outings 😉
Camille Bonnefoy -
This is my 2nd grand fondo, a must-have for those who want quality shorts that last over time, a precise and classy finish like all of the brand's products.
In this price range, these shorts far outclass the biggest Italian or other brands in my opinion.
Christian Dauvergne -
I am delighted that these shorts meet your quality criteria, and delighted that our efforts are rewarded by your satisfaction. Best wishes.
RIVIERE (Customer confirmed) -
I tried my large Fondo bib shorts on 2 outings, they are really very comfortable and the finish is really superb.
In addition to the quality of the product, you can call for confirmation on the size if you are unsure. Well done
Christian Dauvergne -
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you're satisfied! I wish you a good summer cycling 😉
David Panzoli (Customer confirmed) -
I bought these shorts to accompany the increase in the duration of my bike rides. I felt that the cushioning and comfort of my shorts ended up dropping the flag beyond 4 hours in the saddle. With this one, I saw a difference. The quality seems consistent with the asking price, although the quality of a garment is mainly judged on the duration, data that I do not have after only 2-3 outings. That said, it exudes robustness, it is sober but very pretty, especially with the logo. It is comfortable. And in this regard I take this opportunity to thank Christian who advised me very well on the size (size M for 1m84 and 75 kilos) when naively I would have taken bigger (and that would have been a mistake). It is also the advantage of Ozio to have personalized advice from an experienced person, with exemplary responsiveness in addition! In summary, I'm happy with the product and I'm also happy that my purchase supports a local brand 😉
Christian Dauvergne -
Thanks David for your feedback. I am delighted that these shorts bring you the comfort you are looking for. And happy to have been able to help you choose the size 😉 I wish you a great summer on your bike. See you soon.

Like last year in my tour of France Randonneur (26 consecutive days of cycling over 150 to 250 km), this year in the Via Podiensis from Besançon to St Jean Pied de Port, 1700 km and 23500 m of D+) the shorts Gran Fondo, to which I have been faithful for at least 6 years, allowed me to reach the end without injury to my buttocks.
Note that on this Via Podiensis where we were around 90 at the start, more than one out of two participants wore Ozio shorts! I feel like I'm not the only one to appreciate the effectiveness of Ozio shorts.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Alain for your comment on our GRAN FONDO shorts. We are very happy to read that these shorts accompany you on your beautiful and long outings. And very happy to read that you weren't the only one wearing Ozio shorts! It's fun! We make a lot of effort on a daily basis to develop quality shorts, so that they provide comfort to the vast majority of users. Good luck 😉 And long live the bike trip!
Alexandre Marechau (Customer confirmed) -
Great shorts! My first (high-end) and without breaking the bank either! Nickel adjustment, straps, very comfortable skin. Sober look and reflective logo. I will definitely continue to ride with OZIO products in the future very satisfied
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you very much Alexander for your review. We are delighted that you like these shorts and bring you the expected comfort. Good summer season. See you soon 😉
Olivier Leprevost (Customer confirmed) -
This is my second copy of these shorts: they are excellent, pleasant & comfortable, and beautiful. It doesn't budge: the wide straps stay in place. The chamois is great! In short, Ozio, my discovery of the year
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Oliver for your comment. We are delighted that these shorts suit you 😎 And delighted to be the discovery of the year 😀
Sebastien Tuaillon (Customer confirmed) -
Very satisfied with these shorts in blue (see my comment of October 20 on this subject, in which I even report a “crash test”), I bought the same in white in combination with a white/blue Thor jersey – m inspiring, I admit, photographs of the site.
The few outings I have been able to make since the purchase when the weather was still right (the season for tights and long sleeves is starting to arrive...) have confirmed the qualities of comfort, very good cut (S for 1,71, 64kg) and finishing these shorts. As for the appearance, in white with the Thor jersey, it's a real marvel… recommended for those who like to combine comfort and aesthetics in their cycling outfit.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thanks Sebastian for your comment. It's nice to read your satisfaction! A good summer season is coming! Only a few more months to wait 😉
Sebastien Tuaillon (Customer confirmed) -
I bought these blue shorts in size S for 1,71m and 65Kg.
I felt very comfortable from the fitting, feeling of comfort confirmed on the road.
The qualities of these shorts having been cited by other buyers, I will not add comments on this subject, but I would allow myself to mention a point that I do not necessarily advise you to test: the resistance of the fabric to abrasion
Indeed, during my last outing, an unfortunate incident confirmed the quality of the product to me: a fall at good speed (want to avoid a little girl not very well supervised by her parents) caused me to land on the tarmac on my left side, giving me some nice abrasions and bruises and a slightly sprained wrist. However, the crash resulted in intact shorts, even though my left buttocks experienced a rather rough encounter with rather abrasive tarmac.
Conclusion: a beautiful and good product.
My purchase project will surely be the same in white.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Sebastian for your feedback. Our sport can be dangerous! Luckily everything ended well for you. And your shorts resisted. So much the better. But I can't assure you that this will be the case with each fall 😉 The encounter with the ground is often merciless for the clothes! Even if the fabrics have progressed a lot in terms of abrasion.
Benoit SOULIER (Customer confirmed) -
Very comfortable, tested by 31 degrees on a 4 hour outing, the shorts are forgotten. Size L fits me well and I am 1,82m for 68 kg.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Benoit for your review. Glad you like these shorts!
daniel p (Customer confirmed) -
Cycling shorts used for 3 hours. Quality at the rendezvous. Impression of lightness and aesthetics. This is my second j approved without hesitation.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Daniel for your review 😉
vdelemont (Customer confirmed) -
Top shorts. New perfect straps, the elastics of the previous model tend to fray. Always flawless interelastic chamois.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you for your opinion. We are delighted that these shorts suit you, and in particular their new suspenders 😉
PHILIPPE LEGOUPIL (Customer confirmed) -
Hello,
3 outings with my shorts between 80 and 100 kms. Shorts that demand to be “made”, best felt on my last outing. Nice build quality, nice look. For the moment I don't judge it yet from the level of my Assos, remains to be seen in a few outings. Still, the quality/price ratio places Ozio at the top level.
bruno.robert (Customer confirmed) -
Size M on the advice of the coach, tested and approved over a 4-day loop. Pleasure over 5 hours of cycling a day, very tight, comfortable, very good aesthetic product with a blue jersey. Well done Thank you
Christian Dauvergne -
I am delighted that you have found the right size and delighted that these shorts provide you with the expected comfort. Best wishes.
Fox Silver (Customer confirmed) -
Having tried ALL the OZIO products which are excellent, some of which this one is among my favorites.
I am 1.74m tall for 73kg and I chose size “M” both for mountain biking and for the road.
It is not very tight but does not move once in place and does not wrinkle either.
Already washed 5 times for 1 month, it is like new (550km with the latter), this confirms the quality of the product.
Thanks to Christian who is always present to remove any doubt.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you Christian for your comment and for your loyalty. I'm glad these shorts, and your other Ozio garments, work for you! It's nice 😉
Oliver V. (Customer confirmed) -
Very comfortable. I use it for my part in Gravel. No problem in the crotch and strongly over a long distance of more than 4 hours and 90 Kim's of pure Gravel. Super comfortable even if at the beginning I find that it squeezes a little. I took the right size. Then I don't feel it anymore. Top comfort.
The Ozio team -
Thank you Olivier 🙂 You always have to give a chance to a short, especially when it's new. You had the right reflex!
stefdfc (Customer confirmed) -
Taken in size M for 1.76m, 70 kg. On trial in front of the mirror, seemed to fit in size. Unfortunately on the bike I realized that it was too small. I am solely responsible for it but the “only” 3 stars do not come from there. Indeed, I was still able to realize that the comfort is not optimal with this skin. The 7 hours of cycling boasted for this product seem very long to me to ensure that comfort will be there…. Otherwise, excellent support of the silicone bands on the thighs and beautiful material of the fabric. I'm going to have to part with it for resale on a second-hand site well known to cyclists, but I won't be taking it back in size L.
Christian Dauvergne -
Thank you for your feedback on our shorts. Size M is the size you need. I don't know your pelvis circumference (important measurement for choosing a short size), but the measurements you give here correspond to M. You are talking about comfort. It looks like you've only been on one outing in these shorts. Comfort can sometimes be instantaneous, from the first outing, and sometimes you have to do 3-4 outings before finding this comfort. Your buttocks have their habits with your old shorts. You have to give it some time to get used to new skin again. So my advice is to still insist on 3-4 outings (progressive, not 7 hours from the first outing) before making a final judgment. As you can see in the opinions left, many cyclists validate this skin. So why not you !? You will keep me posted 😉
Laurent M. (Customer confirmed) -
7 hours spent on the bike during the Lille-Hardelot cyclo. Zero pain, zero overheating. The price is more than reasonable given the comfort provided. I don't regret having trusted Ozio.
The Ozio team -
Thank you for your trust Laurent!
TS -
The “Gran Fondo” shorts are impeccable. Well fitted, comfortable. Well suited for 4 hour outings.
Fabrice A. (Customer confirmed) -
Perfect shorts, a real second skin and very comfortable.
I've just got back on the bike and after 3 outings of about an hour and a half each with a little pain in the buttocks which was coming to the end of the outing with my previous shorts, I was eager to try these new shorts. I went to 30 hours with this Gran Fondo, without any discomfort, even at the end of the outing. Besides, he's handsome. It promises for sunny days.
Special mention to the whole team, very responsive and accommodating when I made a mistake to put the code at the end of the order.
The Ozio team -
Hello Fabrice,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!
Good recovery of the bike 🙂 Enjoy it!!
Alexander MM (Customer confirmed) -
In preparation for an xtrem triathlon, I had problems with second balls under the buttocks and since I bought the ozio grand fondo shorts it changed everything 4h / 6h outing from 120 to 170km really nothing to say quality at the top I will recommend some soon. In the top.
I had an ekoi gel pro saddle for 6 hours and well, ekoi is over for me. Welcome Ozio and thank you.
The Ozio team -
Thank you very much Alexander for your comment! We are sincerely delighted that your problem has been resolved and that our Gran Fondo will effectively accompany you on your outings. Wishing you good luck with your triathlon!
PS: The validation of your comment was a little late because our system had put it aside!
Bruno LC (Customer confirmed) -
Just perfect. Very good advice, fast shipping and reception at the other end of the world… New Caledonia. I just recommended a second one.

Thank you very much Bruno for your trust! Happy Bikingman Portugal!!
alain.l (Customer confirmed) -
Practicing long distance, I have been using the Grand Fondo for 4 years now. I just bought my third and did a 1500 km tour of Normandy over 5 days. Always so satisfied. On this tour, the shorts, which fit my size, stayed in place and were forgotten. The skin did well in terms of protection of my buttocks subjected to severe strain by the 13/14 hours of daily bowel movements.
The Ozio team -
Thank you Alain for your confidence and your loyalty to the GRAN FONDO and Ozio! 🙂

I have a pretty thick fashionista wardrobe and I fell in love with the Gran Fondo shorts. I really wanted to see if a white shorts could suit mixed skin and the result is really there. Compliant delivery and the quality of the shorts above expectations in terms of finish and comfort. Frankly a great find and I'm sure this won't be my last purchase.

I have just returned from a mid-mountain course with more than 20 hours of cycling .. a comfort on the level of the skin that I have rarely had and yet a follower of the big brands .. I also wanted to recommend the same yesterday .. but the break is there ... I will be patient, I am so comfortable with it.

Bib shorts tried on yesterday for 4 hours, nothing to say it is perfect and super comfortable. Granny remark for the jersey, gloves and windbreaker *
Thanks to CHRISTIAN for his advice on the size (shorts and jersey).
I think I will become a fan of this brand.

Thank you for your feedback Patrice and good luck for the Born to Ride !!!
Michael B. -
I ordered in white color, as soon as it comes out of the package you do woah you know right away that you are not mistaken. To the touch you feel the high end and when you put it on it is a pure treat. Super fabric and a very comfortable seat. When you see the OZIO products and the site you feel the passion of the coach to satisfy the cyclists to roll up the terminals in beauty and comfort.
Remy T. (Customer confirmed) -
Received the shorts yesterday, very beautiful and of good quality. Can't wait to try it out. I thank Christian for his precious advice and who takes the time to respond by email even on Sunday.

adept of cycling trips from 1 to 4 weeks of about 800 to several thousand km, between 150 and 250km per day, this gran fondo suits me perfectly, I recommend it to all
Philippe C. (Customer confirmed) -
This is my first Ozio shorts, I was looking for the right model for 5 to 6 hour long rides. It's done, he's extra ..
Ludovic T. (Customer confirmed) -
I have been riding this shorts for several weeks and on outings of more than 4 hours and it is really very comfortable. Whether it is the fabric, which is very pleasant to wear, which hugs the shapes as close as possible to the body, or the skin which is the best I have had so far. This “Gran Fondo is undoubtedly a superb short.
Papinaud (Customer confirmed) -
I had bought the black shorts last year and loved the quality! After buying the tights for the winter I wanted the blue shorts and I must say that the change of fabrics only improves the quality we feel even less it is really great!
Najib (Customer confirmed) -
After having tried several shorts, including major brands and quite often quite expensive, I can tell you that the Grand Fondo is by far the best and the one that I can handle without problem for 4 hours outings. Very comfortable and light.
After buying the white shorts I decided to take the blue one.
So good to hear, hi for those who suffer in the saddle.
Bravo to this brand that I discovered by chance.
Thanks also to Christian for his advice. And yet I am not a shareholder in this brand.
Charles P. -
I had a long road trip this WE with these shorts and I admit that they are really comfortable. Even after 10 hours of bowel movement, no discomfort or irritation to report.
As a result, I plan to test it also in gravel and uneven terrain.
Oliver Q. -
These navy blue Ozio grand fondo shorts are THE favorite. A quality rarely encountered, an almost perfect fitting of the shorts and what comfort during 3 hours of saddle. Compression is perfect. An essential piece!
Christophe G. (Customer confirmed) -
Bib shorts received on 18.06/6 and tested directly on a 00h20.06 outing on XNUMX/XNUMX> no pain, comfort at the meeting point and excellent quality of the fabrics. In short, a must!
Frederic A. -
After the long and the corsair I ordered the short. Received this week and tried this morning. Superb finish and very comfortable. In blue it is magnificent.
Very satisfied with the brand, I will take advantage of a reduction to order a jacket for the end of summer in Nord Lozère.
Aurel (Customer confirmed) -
Tested at 3:00 am for the moment, I can already see the difference compared to another well-known brand (and what?) - Very satisfied with these OZIO shorts, which are different and unusual compared to everything we see. Colors in beautiful blue, the logos stand out well - I just fear in the long run that the logo on the thigh will come off with the washes - I am thinking of ordering the marathon shorts with the pockets very well thought out!
Sébastien S. (Customer confirmed) -
Wonderful product. Very sober and elegant, and super comfortable. The wide elastics at the bottom of the thighs are very effective, the straps are forgotten. And very comfortable in the saddle. I had not yet found a shorts that suited me so well.
Thank you and well done!
Nicholas P. -
I was a fan of Assos….
