ASSOS leans further into cycling cool with new Db travel collaboration

The debut collaboration between the Swiss apparel specialist and luggage maker Db produces a 50L split duffel, a shoe-and-pedal trunk and a helmet case, all available immediately.

ASSOS and Scandinavian travel brand Db have launched their first joint product, in a move that continues ASSOS' shift from a more purely technical apparel company and further into the premium lifestyle space surrounding modern cycling culture – most recently encapsulated by their much-lauded EF Eduction Giro switch-out kit.

The new three-piece cycling travel system comprising the Roamer Pro Split Duffel 50L, the Torq Trunk and the Crown Case. The system went on sale on 28 May through both brands' online stores and selected stockists, priced at €369 / £360 / $449 for the set.

The collection is designed around organising cycling equipment for travel which will appeal to bikepackers, road racers and cyclotourists alike. The system targets the kit that travels alongside a bike case, separating clean clothing from dirty, giving shoes and pedals dedicated padded compartments, and protecting helmets and electronics in a structured case.

What the system includes

The Roamer Pro Split Duffel 50L is the anchor piece. Constructed from ripstop material with colour and hardware tweaked to match ASSOS' palette, the bag opens via a central zipper and unfolds outward into two separate compartments, one intended for clean kit and the other for worn clothing. An external pocket, adjustable shoulder straps, load lifters and a padded back panel round out the carrying setup.

The Torq Trunk is a shoe bag built with cycling-specific storage in mind. A one-pull action zipper opens the main compartment, which holds four internal pockets: two padded slots sized for pedals, one for tools and an unpadded lid pocket for socks, leg warmers or overshoes. It consolidates the loose hardware that often ends up rattling around a suitcase or stuffed into jersey pockets at the airport.

The Crown Case does the same job for helmets, accommodating up to a size XL. Its one-pull zipper opens wide enough to lift a helmet in and out without forcing it through a narrow gap. Internal pockets use the remaining space for sunglasses, bike computers and other small accessories.

The Torq Trunk and Crown Case use the same one-pull zipper system, with the duffel relying on a conventional central zip.

The collaboration comes as ASSOS has drawn increased attention. The Swiss brand's 2026 partnership with EF Pro Cycling has generated attention around its apparel design, and the Db tie-up extends that collaborative approach into travel gear for the first time. ASSOS, which cites 50 years in cycling and involvement in 400 Olympic and World Championship medals, has previously released luggage and bags under its own branding, including backpacks, the GT Spider Bag, and collaborations such as with Ortlieb.

Db, known for backpacks and luggage aimed at creative and travel communities, brings its hardware and luggage design experience to the partnership. The system is framed as a debut, with no indication yet of whether further joint products will follow.

The full set is available now from ASSOS and Db online stores, as well as selected retailers. And we'll be honest, we very much want to own it.
