Assos' primary aim with the TRAIL TACTICA Liner Shorts HP T3 has been to engineer a liner short that's incredibly light, impressively breathable and yet retains off-road-ready durability and protection. This is a liner you'll love to wear with your favourite over-shorts. Superlight Performance The Tactica liners make use of incredibly light materials to keep you cool and fresh during intense off-road rides. This includes a mesh with hydrophilic treatment that speeds moisture evaporation, keeping you cooler for longer. At the waist, the zeroPressure construction does what it says, offering a soft and flexible fit that keeps the shorts in place without undue pressure. A high degree of breathability keeps you feeling fresh during high-intensity XC and gravel racing. More Protection If you find yourself sliding out on loose trails and gravel, the large ImpactorTec T3 hip pad lessens the chance of painful gravel rash. With a jersey-soft inner face and increased cooling, there's no compromise to comfort either. Off-Road HP T3 Seat Pad Using 9mm thick shock-absorbing foam layers, the Off-Road HP T3 Seat Pad is made specifically for the more upright riding position associated with gravel and mountain bikes and soaks up trail chatter. Thermoformed shapes also reduce ridges and irritation when pedalling while allowing freedom of movement, ideal when tackling sinewy singletrack. The T3 also sees familiar Assos pad features deployed to deliver airy comfort. The goldenGate 2.0 lets the pad move with your body rather than in opposition to it. 3D Waffle, a 3-layer perforated foam, reduces weight while optimising breathability. And kratercooler technology sees perforation across the leading edge, drawing air across the pad and keeping you cooler and drier.
Assos' simple aim for their Women's UMA GT Bib Shorts C2 was to give you shorts you can rely upon for any style, length and intensity of bike ride. Using trickle-down technology from their premium race shorts, you'll have the support of lightly compressive fabrics, an X-Frame bib design that stabilises the seat pad perfectly in place and an updated AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) that gives a beautiful fit as you pedal. Endurance Fit and Feel With a focus on long training rides and endurance events, but also everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the UMA GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease. It's also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your rides get longer, taking full advantage of the longer days of summer. Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit is based upon Assos' race models but it's more accommodating of different shapes and sizes. At the waist, the more forgiving zeroPressure design also keeps the shorts beautifully in place while allowing optimal flexibility for deep breathing and low riding positions. The comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 4.5mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure non-bulge fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin. Women's UMA GT C2 Insert With 9mm of cushioning and the 'floating' design of goldenGate location to move the pad with your body not against you, the Women's UMA GT C2 pad is intensely comfortable, supportive and shock-absorbing. Compressive foam layers provide endurance-focused support on the saddle. The 3D Waffle design uses a three-layer construction, with perforated foams to enhance breathability and airflow. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation while the odour-resistant top sheet maintains freshness.
Continual Improvement Assos are committed to continual improvement. And the MILLE GT Bib Shorts C2 are a perfect example, taking their highly acclaimed GT shorts and subjecting them to a rigorous re-evaluation and redesign to enhance the fit, feel and performance. Improvements to the waist design, premium X-frame suspension carriage and a reduction in seams and weight (28% and 5g, respectively) have all led to shorts that feel just right, the moment you pull them on. Endurance Fit and Feel With a focus on long training rides and endurance events, but also everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease. It's also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your rides get longer, matching the longer days of summer. Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit isn't so compressive as their RaceFit but it's certainly not going to slow you down. At the waist, the more forgiving zeroPressure design also keeps the shorts beautifully in place while allowing optimal flexibility for deep breathing and low riding positions. The aero comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 6mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin. MILLE GT C2 Insert With 3mm of extra cushioning, the MILLE GT C2 pad is more comfortable, more supportive and more shock-absorbing than ever. Compressive foam layers, up to 11mm in depth, provide endurance-focused support on the saddle. The 3D Waffle design uses a three-layer construction, with perforated foams to enhance breathability and airflow. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation while the odour-resistant top sheet maintains freshness.
Push the Boundaries Professional riders demand a lot from their cycling kit and in particular their bib shorts, spending hours upon hours on the saddle, facing wildly varying weather, challenging climbs and heart-racing descents plus the lung-bursting efforts of racing for the win. And it's these demands that the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 have been engineered to deal with. With no corners cut, they'll leave you experiencing the most exemplary levels of comfort and muscle support. A-Lock Engineering As the name suggests, the A-Lock Engineering design is about creating shorts that 'lock into place', with the seat insert held exactly where it's needed in order to deliver unrivalled on-the-saddle comfort. It begins with the Type.441 textile. With exceptional compression qualities and silk-like feel, it provides superb stability and comfort to the shorts. Furthermore, it offers excellent moisture management, is anti-odour and is durable too. All yielding excellent cycling performance. Float like a Butterfly The next component of the A-Lock engineering system is the design and construction of the short panels. Previous Assos shorts have used four panels. The S9 uses just two. This gives a reduction in weight and fewer seams, boosting long-ride comfort. The two panels are shaped into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design. This hugs your legs and lower back snugly while also maintaining superb flexibility. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts. rollBar Bib Design Supporting the lower shorts section is Assos' rollBar bib strap system. Acting like a car's anti-sway bar, the rollBar bibs stabilise and secure the seat insert in place. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight. So whether on the saddle or jumping out of the saddle to sprint, the seat pad remains perfectly placed. The bib straps are a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame that perfectly supports the shorts. 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. S9 Multi-Layer Seat Insert The heart of the shorts is the multi-layered S9 seat insert. Next to the skin you'll experience the soothing comfort of an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber. KraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad prevent excess sweat from hanging around to cause discomfort. A 3D-shaped 3-layer perforated waffle foam is the next layer to provide comfort. Reducing weight and bulk but easing pressure, it's ready for a tough day on the saddle. Then comes the superAir microShock foam core. It offers a combination of shock-absorption and memory return, adding comfort over all road surfaces and re-adapting to your body position every time you shift weight. It's a pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Conclusion Assos have once again pushed the boundaries of what defines high-performance cycling bib shorts. Fabric, construction and fit are all carefully refined and engineered for on-the-bike comfort. Their finest fitting and most comfortable bib shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.

We made this short to meet Castelli's high standards for comfort and performance in a cycling short while adding a few extra features that come in handy for riding on any surface. You'll find our normal exceptional fit as well as the KISS Air2 seat pad, which provides generous anatomically placed padding with an exceptionally soft top layer.What makes this short special is the extremely durable Unlimited Lycra® fabric. It has higher abrasion resistance and tear resistance while not compromising on stretch, moisture management or comfort.In addition, we use double-layer side panels for the old track rider's trick of fabric-sliding-on-fabric should you fall.
