Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9The Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 push technical performance and race-bred comfort to a new level. Going back to the drawing board Assos designers have paid attention to every detail to create the finest racing shorts possible.Developed with Pros. Ridden by You.Having entered back into the milieu of the Pro Tour Peloton, Assos have made full use of the knowledge and feedback from pro riders. With a Grand Tour or Classic taking in all weathers, varying road surfaces, steep climbs, manic descents and sprints a lot is demanded of a pair of shorts. This has pushed the engineering team to create innovative solutions focused on delivering the finest fit, comfort and support for the demanding cyclist. The final result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 with A-Lock engineering. A-Lock EngineeringAt the heart of this bib short is a new Assos concept, A-Lock Engineering. Using a combination of new construction methods and materials, Assos' engineers have managed to create a short where the seat insert remains in the perfect position at all times. They start with Type.441 textile, a silky smooth fabric which boasts incredible moisture management, anti-odour and long term durability - all-in-all, a perfect cycling fabric. This new fabric is then carefully tailored using a brand new panel design to create an incredibly stable platform for the seat insert. Where their S7 shorts use four panels, the S9s reduce this to just two, lessening bulk, reducing seams and hence increasing comfort. The two panels form a unique 'butterfly' shape, wrapping around the legs snugly to form what Assos have named their ergoBox structure. It is this which keeps the seat insert perfectly positioned, whether you're in the saddle, out of the saddle, sprinting or climbing. rollBar Bib DesignAssos have also completely redesigned the bib straps on the S9. Just like an anti-sway bar on a car, the new rollBar design provides stability. The straps pass over the rear of the shorts and attach directly into the same seam as the seat insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made with highly elastic materials, a single Y-frame piece in the back creating the ideal level of support for the shorts while exerting minimal pressure. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts use an antibacterial carbon weave, wicking away moisture incredibly quickly for intense comfort. These are bib shorts you'll barely realise are there. S9 InsertAt the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you're guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Assos have once again pushed what is possible with performance cycling equipment. With incredible attention to every detail, every seam and fabric engineering, the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 will allow you to ride further and faster than ever, pushing performance to new heights.

Assos Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9The Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9 take comfort on the bike to a new level. Created for those of you who love to race and ride fast, they make no compromises in their pursuit of performance. Engineered for the Female AthleteThe Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9 are borne of Assos' desire to make the best performing and most comfortable shorts for the most demanding of women cyclists. Engineered with a host of innovative features they provide incredible comfort when you're climbing and descending, out of the saddle sprinting, in the saddle pushing hard on the pedals and moving over long hours of riding. They're designed to offer comfort during even the toughest of race conditions.A-Lock EngineeringA-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.441 textile. This is a fabric which has exceptional compression qualities and with its silk feel is incredibly comfortable against the skin. Not only that it's quick-wicking, anti-odour and durable, the perfect fabric for performance cycling.Float like a ButterflyThe next phase of the A-Lock engineering system are significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and a seat insert that stays in place perfectly. Firstly the panelling number is reduced, reducing complexity and weight while enhancing comfort. The result of using fewer panels is also a reduction in seams, again boosting comfort through the elimination of chafing while also saving more weight. The panels are then engineered into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts or how much you shift weight.rollBar Bib DesignThe bib straps also get completely redesigned, with a brand new rollBar system for unrivalled support of the lower shorts section. The rollBar system acts just like an anti-sway bar in a car, the straps stabilising and securing the seat insert in place as you move. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle.The bib straps themselves are made from a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat - the result is extremely lightweight straps you will barely notice. They're positioned wider apart at the front too, taking into account the female anatomy and accommodating a wide range of body shapes. Women's DYORA RS InsertAt the heart of the Dyora RS Bib Shorts is the women's specific Women's DYORA RS Insert. This seat pad takes race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin to offer all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Then a superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. Lastly, the goldenGate technology, a patented desing, sees interrupts stitching along both of the insert’s side panels to allow more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels.

Created for those of you who love to race and ride fast, they make no compromises in their pursuit of performance. Engineered for the Female AthleteThe Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9 are borne of Assos' desire to make the best performing and most comfortable shorts for the most demanding of women cyclists. Engineered with a host of innovative features they provide incredible comfort when you're climbing and descending, out of the saddle sprinting, in the saddle pushing hard on the pedals and moving over long hours of riding. They're designed to offer comfort during even the toughest of race conditions.A-Lock EngineeringA-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.441 textile. This is a fabric which has exceptional compression qualities and with its silk feel is incredibly comfortable against the skin. Not only that it's quick-wicking, anti-odour and durable, the perfect fabric for performance cycling.Float like a ButterflyThe next phase of the A-Lock engineering system are significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and a seat insert that stays in place perfectly. Firstly the panelling number is reduced, reducing complexity and weight while enhancing comfort. The result of using fewer panels is also a reduction in seams, again boosting comfort through the elimination of chafing while also saving more weight. The panels are then engineered into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts or how much you shift weight.rollBar Bib DesignThe bib straps also get completely redesigned, with a brand new rollBar system for unrivalled support of the lower shorts section. The rollBar system acts just like an anti-sway bar in a car, the straps stabilising and securing the seat insert in place as you move. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle.The bib straps themselves are made from a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat - the result is extremely lightweight straps you will barely notice. They're positioned wider apart at the front too, taking into account the female anatomy and accommodating a wide range of body shapes. Women's DYORA RS InsertAt the heart of the Dyora RS Bib Shorts is the women's specific Women's DYORA RS Insert. This seat pad takes race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin to offer all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Then a superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. Lastly, the goldenGate technology, a patented desing, sees interrupts stitching along both of the insert’s side panels to allow more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels.

With such demands placed on the kit by pro riders, this has pushed Assos' engineering team to create their finest bib shorts yet, with incredible muscle support, innovative construction and class-leading comfort.A-Lock EngineeringAt the heart of the S9 bib shorts is Assos' A-Lock Engineering. Using a combination of new construction methods and materials, Assos' engineers have managed to create a short where the seat insert remains perfectly positioned. They start with Type.441 textile, a silky smooth fabric which boasts incredible moisture management, anti-odour and long term durability - all-in-all, a perfect cycling fabric. Butterfly EngineeringAn innovative panel design creates an incredibly stable platform for the seat insert. Where their S7 shorts use four panels, the S9s reduce this to just two, lessening bulk, reducing seams and hence increasing comfort. The two panels form a unique 'butterfly' shape, wrapping around the legs snugly to form what Assos have named their ergoBox structure. It is this which keeps the seat insert perfectly positioned, whether you're in the saddle, out of the saddle, sprinting or climbing. rollBar Bib DesignAssos have also completely redesigned the bib straps on the S9. Just like an anti-sway bar on a car, the new rollBar design provides stability. The straps pass over the rear of the shorts and attach directly into the same seam as the seat insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made with highly elastic materials, a single Y-frame piece in the back creating the ideal level of support for the shorts while exerting minimal pressure. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts uses an antibacterial carbon weave, wicking away moisture incredibly quickly for intense comfort. These are bib shorts you'll barely realise are there.
