Taking their outstanding RS and RSR Bib Shorts S9, Assos have made changes to fabrics to maintain the fabulous comfort but deliver extra helpings of ventilation alongside a reduction in weight. For hot summer days spent tackling alpine ascents or the demands of intense indoor training sessions, they're the perfect pick. Low on weight. High on Ventilation. With fewer seams used in their construction and the use of ultralight and highly breathable materials, you'll enjoy greater comfort and fresher, cooler leg muscles when the mercury rises. The full-wrap Butterfly panel is carried over from the standard S9s but here super-light Breezer Tex is deployed. This woven fabric has a mesh-like structure, allowing for enhanced airflow inwards and outstanding breathability outwards. Other front and rear panels are made in OSSIDIA warp-knit material. This provides a firm compressive hold of your key muscle groups, and thanks to excellent abrasion resistance ensure excellent durability on the saddle. Meanwhile, the bib straps use a lighter elastic, reducing weight and minimising sweat absorption. A-Lock Engineering Assos apply the same S9 A-Lock Engineering for these Superléger shorts. This compromises a two-panel design made into a 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 frictionless comfort no matter how intense your efforts. At the waist, raw-cut edges give a smooth transition between body and fabric, ensuring more comfort and less pressure. Raw-cut edges are also utilised at the leg openings, with minimal silicone grippers to keep your shorts in place with minimal weight and pressure. S9 SUNDECK Seat Insert An evolution of the EQUIPE RS insert, the S9 SUNDECK enjoys a reduction in weight for less bulk. Assos' whirlKrater system is also deployed. This uses strategically placed holes throughout the pad to boost airflow, creating a pad that minimises sweat absorption and boosts breathability. You'll also have the benefits of the standard RS pad. Shock-absorbing SuperAir microShock foam, in a 3D waffle design, is quick to return to its original form, filling gaps each time you shift weight and change position on the saddle. The waffle design meanwhile, sees the use of three-layer perforated foam to increases breathability and reduce bulk. And with goldenGate technology, the unique design allows a more natural irritation-free movement when pedalling.
The Women's Triator NS (No Sleeve) Cycling Speedsuit has been engineered to keep you comfortable in training and when you're taking on the challenges of Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons. Using their expertise and knowledge from the development of the road-cycling NS Summer Speedsuit, Assos ensure this tri-specific version has been adapted to the full-body motions of the three triathlon disciplines. Light and aerodynamic, this suit offers distraction-free comfort and optimal efficiency. Fabric Technology Comfort and muscle support comes by the way of proven Assos textiles from their road-racing kit. To the upper body, ultralight and stretchy Cube material has a 3D structure that creates both a streamlined finish and a material that dries exceptionally fast too. Meanwhile, the lower section is made from Type.701kompressor textile. This highly compressive material provides support of your large muscle groups, helping push back fatigue, promote blood flow and maintaining excellent flexibility when swimming, cycling and running. Fit and Feel Comfort is paramount when distances are long and endurance tested to the limit. The carefully tailored V-shaped Falken Cut design removes restrictions around the upper body, offering flexibility and comfort across all three tri disciplines. Raw cut ends to the legs, with silicone internal dot grippers, also give a remarkably smooth and aero finish while a 3/4 zipper keeps you in control of temperature regulation. A modified 2-panel ergoBox design with frictionless Butterfly Pattern make up the lower half, built around the streamlined Triator Insert. Women's Traitor Insert A triathlon-specific insert, the Women's Triator pad uses 4mm and 6mm memory foam, striking a perfect balance between support and low-volume flexibility. 3D waffle, 3-layer perforated foam removes bulk and increases breathability. Assos' goldenGate also features. This patented technology allows for a more natural, 3-dimensional movement of the pad, enhancing comfort and eliminating irritation.
Setting the Pace for Comfort This isn't a jacket for taking it easy in. Rather, the aerodynamically efficient Women's DYORA RS Winter Cycling Jacket excels the harder you press on the pedals and the more watts you push out. Created for the pro-athlete and demanding year-round rider, Assos have carefully and precisely engineered every textile to be 'activated' with effort. It creates a winter-proof jacket with the very best balance of insulation and exceptional breathability, perfectly regulating body temperature during your long training rides and races. Engineered Excellence Its exceptional performance is made possible by its unique construction, material mix and a new breed of remarkably light softshell fabrics called SPHERE. This replaces Assos' long-running Stratagon and offers membrane-equipped materials of variable thicknesses to tune waterproofing and flexibility perfectly for cycling hard. The inner front panel is made of several ultrathin layers of SPHERE. It's akin to a mid-layer chest protector and is brilliant at wicking moisture away to the outer layers. Then comes 3-layer wind- and waterproof SPHERE Light to the outside. Brushed on the inside it provides both warmth and weather protection. A thicker and more insulating version of the same 3-layer material is used across the upper back and forearms, boosting warmth. To boost climate control, Assos have deployed their Diffusor “valves” at the shoulders, allowing air inside to prevent overheating. Moving to the back, OSMOS Heavy is the most insulating of Assos' brushed-backed materials. And the jacket’s built-in mid-layer is made with lighter, more breathable OSMOS Light while the upper arms are wrapped in windproof warp-knit 3L ZigZaggy Foam. Assos Layering System The Women's Dyora RS Winter Jacket forms part of a cycling layering system, engineered to work beautifully together. For most winter conditions it works perfectly as a stand-alone winter jacket. However, for extremely harsh conditions use it with an Assos Thermobooster Mid Layer for added insulation. For extra coverage in humid or extra-demanding weather, deploy your Clima Capsule Jacket over the top. Assos have thought of everything.
The softshell NEOS Medium material ensures the GT Winter Cycling Overshoes prevent your feet from suffering from the bite of colder winter temperatures. It's the same material as used for Assos' winterproof jackets so has been comprehensively tested and proven to keep off cold winds and to repel damp, drizzly conditions. This 3-layer softshell, with PU bonded membrane, also breathes well, keeping your feet comfortable during all levels of intensity during your ride. Practical features include a reverse Camlock zipper making your overshoes easy to pull on before and off after your rides. Assos' zeroCuff is a raw-cut edge at the top, creating a smooth and streamlined finish to the booties. Meanwhile, the grippy sportGrip across the sole provides extra traction when you're off the bike and gives a boost to durability.
The Women's Chamois cream rehydrates and replenishes the skin in the sensitive chamois area, leading to a reduced chance of rubbing and inflammation from many hours spent in the saddle. By eliminating the risk of saddle sores and discomfort while road riding, mountain biking or gravel grinding, the Assos cream ensures that at least one comfort factor won’t suffer whilst riding — the other comfort elements of pace and power in your hands. Regardless of the intensity, time of day, weather forecast or altitude of your route, this female cycling cream is a must-use. For the best results the Assos Women's Chamois Cream is best applied as a light layer directly to the skin where your chamois sits or alternatively onto the chamois itself. It works superbly with any ASSOS bib shorts and ASSOS inserts. Directions for Use Apply directly to the skin (avoid intimate areas) before each ride. You should also apply a thin layer of creme to the pad of your shorts after every wash, this helps to maintain suppleness, elasticity and anti-microbial properties.

Created for the demands of road riding, and whether that's sprinting for the win, speeding down a fast descent or mixing it up in the peloton, the Assos MET Trenta (MIPS) Jingo RS Cycle Helmet is designed to give outstanding comfort on the bike and reliable protection in the event of a crash. The Assos MET Trenta (MIPS) Jingo RS Helmet uses an EPS foam liner, offering excellent shock-absorbing performance, and providing head protection should you be unfortunate enough to bang your head. This is covered by a tough polycarbonate shell, increasing toughness and long-term durability. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Trenta also makes use of Mips technology. The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Feel the Speed While safety is the primary concern, aerodynamic performance has in no way been compromised. The Trenta's tube-shaped tail and internal channelling mean that you benefit from up to 7% less drag than a more traditional road helmet. This is most effective when you're riding in a bunch so when it's time to attack, you'll be the freshest in the bunch. Whilst some aerodynamic designs can feel more closed in, the Trenta has been engineered to keep you cool. Only 30% of the helmet actually touches the head and the front NACA vent and rear deflectors channel air over the head for refreshing airflow when riding. Safe-T Orbital The Trenta also features MET's most adjustable fit system yet. The Safe-T Orbital allows two-step occipital adjustment, four-step vertical adjustment, and a micrometrical dial, all allowing you to fine-tune the fit and ensure your helmet remains secure. Inside, the Air-mesh pads wick away sweat, preventing sweat from running down and stinging the eyes. They're washable too, letting you freshen them up after particularly hot and sweaty rides.
In order to offer optimal wet-weather protection for your legs, the MILLE GT Thermo Rain Shell Pants use Assos' renowned windproof-waterproof NEOS Ultra. This 2-layer softshell makes use of a PU bonded membrane, providing windproof-waterproof protection. Breathability is also excellent, preventing clamminess when you're turning up the effort levels. A slightly thicker 3-layer NEOS Mild is used for the lower third of the pants, enhancing protection from cold and wet road spray. Fit to Ride To give you a smooth and comfortable fit at the waist, Assos have borrowed the smooth-wrap AZPtech waist design as found on their off-road TRAIL pants. This removes the bulk of fasteners while a silicone gripper also ensures a firm but flexible fit minus any pressure or pinching. It's also slightly taller to the back for added protection and a seamless fit with your under-layers. Hems are also raw-cut for a smooth, pressure-free fit while the knicker-length construction works well with tall rainproof overshoes. Reflective bands circling the lower leg also keep you more visible as light levels fade. Layer up with the MILLE GT Thermo Rain Shell Pants and enjoy protection from rain, road spray, biting winds and falling temperatures.
The Women's Triator SS Cycling Speedsuit has been engineered to keep you comfortable when taking on the challenges of medium to long-distance triathlon training and racing. Using their expertise and knowledge from the development of the road-cycling NS Summer Speedsuit, this tri-specific version gets the added benefit of ice pockets. These lay-flat pockets along the upper back and chest make space for ice packs, keeping you cooler during a scorching hot Ironman triathlon. Fabric Technology Comfort and muscle support comes by the way of proven Assos textiles from their road-racing kit. To the upper body, ultralight and stretchy Cube material has a 3D structure that creates both a streamlined finish and a material that dries exceptionally fast too. Meanwhile, the lower section is made from Type.701kompressor textile. This highly compressive material provides support of your large muscle groups, helping push back fatigue, promote blood flow and maintaining excellent flexibility when swimming, cycling and running. Fit and Feel Comfort is paramount when distances are long and endurance tested to the limit. The carefully tailored V-shaped Falken Cut design removes restrictions around the upper body, offering flexibility and comfort across all three tri disciplines. Raw cut ends to the arms and legs also give a remarkably smooth and aero finish while a 3/4 front zipper keeps you in control of temperature regulation. A modified 2-panel ergoBox design with frictionless Butterfly Pattern make up the lower half, built around the streamlined Triator Insert. Women's Traitor Insert A triathlon-specific insert, the Women's Triator uses 4mm and 6mm memory foam, striking a perfect balance between support and low-volume flexibility. 3D waffle, 3-layer perforated foam removes bulk and increases breathability.

Part of the ASSOS Layering System, the Skinfoil Summer NS (No-Sleeves) Base Layer weighs barely anything so you’ll hardly know it’s there. And with the Circular Seamless construction its brilliantly comfortable against the skin too, with no side seams to cause irritation. Then we come to moisture management, and here it's brilliant too. The blend of carbon and polypropylene provide a major step up in both breathability and sweat-wicking performance compared to previous generation base layers. And with anti-bacterial properties also present, it's a base layer that leaves you drier and fresher, even during the hottest and sweatiest of bike rides. To get the best out of your performance in the heat, it's the ideal start.
Leg warmers may seem a simple product, but not all leg warmers are created equal. The GT Spring Fall Leg Warmers C2 take a step up in comfort and performance thanks to their combination of anatomic design and a lightly compressive material that allows optimal pedalling flexibility as well as insulation. The RX EVO textile used in their construction feels luxuriously soft against the skin and the brushed inner also does a brilliant job of trapping warmth. It's breathable too, ensuring harder efforts don't level you soaked in sweat. With a single-seam and sculpted patterning, the fit is tuned for irritation-free pedalling. The anatomic fit sees curved tops to the warmers adding warmth to the outer thigh while further reinforcing the wrinkle-free fit. Raw-cut hems also negate the need for silicone grippers, giving a smooth, unobtrusive fit with your cycling shorts.
Summer is for long rides, discovering new roads to ride, at home and abroad, and pursuing the goals you set back in the cold of winter. And it's here the MILLE GT Jersey C2 Drop Head is the ideal pick. It's the combination of lightweight and breathable fabrics, refined fit and technical details that keep it, and you, ahead of the pack. Made for Performance Under a hot summer sky, the lightweight breathability of BIG DUAL Tex fabric body panels maintains your cool comfort. Both breathable and quick-wicking, it deals quickly with sweat build-up, leaving you always feeling fresh. For the sleeves, Assos uses their Push-Pull textile. This warp-knit fabric provides gentle compression and outstanding moisture management too, elevating comfort on any bike ride you're on. Both body and sleeves also offer sun protection with each giving UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+. Flap-Free Fit Performance and comfort are harmonised with Assos' regularFit. While not as tight as their RaceFit, it still features careful body-mapping of seams and panels, giving you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. While flapping of fabric is kept to a minimum, you can still move easily and it won't penalise you for a few extra calories ingested at the cafe stop. Whether you’re lining up for a summer race series, enjoying a day-long training ride into the mountains or a gentle social spin to catch a morning coffee, the MILLE GT Jersey C2 Drop Head gets you there in style and comfort.
The Pro-tier performance of the EQUIPE RS Jersey S9 TARGA is achieved via a number of factors, including continuing with the aerodynamic detailing of its predecessor, careful fabric choice, bonded seam technology and Assos' aggressive RacingFit. Assos RacingFit Made for the WorldTour, you can expect the Assos RacingFit to give you a second-skin fit that seeks to offer maximum performance from your hard-won fitness. With a cut designed to excel in aero riding positions, it will feel strange when you first pull the jersey on. But settle into the drops or bar extensions and it all makes sense. Compression in all the right places also delivers outstanding comfort and support. Fast but Comfortable Fabrics The fast functional fabric mix begins with the use of Assos miniCheck Tex fabric to the front. This 3D knit fabric is extremely elastic to give you the close aero fit needed to go fast, streamlining you to optimise your power output. But not just that, it's highly breathable too, ensuring you don't get overwhelmed with sweat when your race and training efforts intensify. Elsewhere, the rear of the jersey sees Assos' featherweight Stabilizer textile deployed. This holds the jersey smoothly in place thanks to its limited vertical stretch, keeping airflow smooth and uninterrupted while also supporting the rear pockets. Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw-cut bonded Push-Pull textile sleeves eliminate any disruptive tape or seams from the leading edge, giving a true lie flat, low drag transition from jersey to skin. Practical Features With the focus on performance, the Assos team haven't overlooked those small practical details that you need when training and racing. To the back, the Triple Ramp Pockets are easily accessible and pre-structured for optimal capacity and stability when loaded. A flap also offers extra security, preventing items from spilling out. An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you full control of ventilation to the body and a lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth. And with fabrics offering a range of ultraviolet protection, from UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 25 to 50, this is a jersey ideal for summer racing.
