The all-new FR-C Pro Lyte Bib Short is Giordana’s lightest and most heat-defying performance bib to date, engineered for pro-level racing and training in the hottest conditions. Weighing just 153 grams, it delivers the same race-ready paneling and fit of the standard FR-C Pro but with dramatically reduced weight and enhanced breathability. At the core of its design is a revolutionary 110g micro-perforated fabric—half the weight of the traditional 220g HC50 Lycra used in the non-Lyte version. Rather than being punched or cut post-production, these engineered perforations are integrated directly into the mesh-like fabric structure for maximum airflow and thermoregulation.

The aerodynamic and ergonomic leg paneling wraps around the thighs with precision, enhancing muscle compression while maintaining a sleek silhouette. To withstand the rigors of racing and high-mileage riding, the seat panel features a durable woven fabric that resists abrasion without compromising comfort. At the leg openings, a thermo-welded finish anchors the shorts securely in place while continuing the featherweight feel all the way to the hem, eliminating bulky seams and ensuring a smooth, low-profile fit against the skin.

The bib construction is equally advanced. Perforated straps provide lightweight, breathable support with high elasticity, conforming comfortably whether you're climbing, sprinting, or in an aggressive aero tuck. The bib upper features a new double mesh design that enhances durability and ventilation across the back while offering minimal vertical stretch. This keeps the bib short and Cirro S chamois firmly in place, ensuring stability through every movement on the bike. The chamois includes Giordana’s Copa Mondiale design for improved anatomical comfort, along with multiple layers and aloe vera infusion for long-distance support and skin-soothing performance.

Every element of the FR-C Pro Lyte is built to serve one goal: keep you cool, supported, and fast when the temperatures soar. With technical Italian fabrics, aerodynamic shaping, and pro-level construction, this bib short is the ultimate lightweight solution for riders pushing the limits in peak summer conditions.
