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.
Made with a blend of Assos' own ultralight materials and Lycra®, the RS Cycling Socks TARGA provide exceptional comfort and support. The supersoft 'Hydrogen' yarns feel luxurious against the skin and provide outstanding moisture-wicking and breathability, preventing sweat from creating areas of discomfort. Meanwhile, the Lycra® content gives a lightly compressive and flexible fit, keeping comfort high throughout your ride. At the arch, Assos use a ribbed band of airy mesh to add further support and enhance breathability and airflow. Seamless construction prevents chafing too. Lastly, the 18cm cuff gives the socks a contemporary look, while not falling foul of UCI's sock height rules. These socks are ready to race.
The Best Got Better The RSR S9 bib shorts set a new standard for bib short performance. But there's always room for improvement. The EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA have improvements to both stretch and support, with targetted compression where it's needed most, reduced pressure in sensitive areas and dialled in aerodynamics to maximise your fitness. Faster-drying fabrics also limit perspiration’s ability to add weight from soaking into the textile. A combination of woven Type.701kompressor textile and Ossidia inserts give the shorts a near frictionless fit. Not only that, the ultrathin yarns are extremely elastic, allowing for superb muscle compression and flexibility, ensuring pedalling has never felt easier. Carbon Xbib Construction The A-frame suspension design of the Carbon Xbib limits the vertical stretch to the back of the shorts. This provides a secure and stable position of the S9 seat pad at all times. The Dual-face Carbon material is now quicker drying, an improvement upon the previous single-sided design. Built for Speed As you'd expect, the RSR S9 TARGA shorts are engineered with Assos RacingFit. This second-skin fit maximises your speed while also optimising flexibility and comfort. The leg length is also extended when compared to the Equip RS and Mille GT lines. Smooth aerodynamics extends to the leg grippers. The Assos skinGrip cuffs give compressive support across the thighs, with silicone grippers to provide a secure non-slip fit. Minimal transitional ridges between skin and shorts keep airflow smooth. A-Lock Engineering The A-Lock system combines Assos' rollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panel to give you shorts that fit beautifully no matter what. Whether it's high-intensity bursts of speed or long endurance efforts, this engineered design maintains superb stability as you shift weight in and out of the saddle. Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wraps the legs and back to create the ergoBox structure. This holds the S9 insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort throughout your pedal stroke and when you're shifting weight on the saddle. S9 Sundeck Insert Taking their already super-comfortable S9 insert, Assos have made improvements to make it lighter, cooler and minimise its footprint, all to enhance comfort still further. The first improvement is what Assos call the Sundeck Superlight. This is a luxuriously soft front panel that increases airflow while eliminating pressure in this most sensitive area. Then comes Assos' whirlKrater. Again this is all about airflow, with copious perforations added throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow. What hasn't changed is the odour-resistant top sheet for all-day freshness. You also retain the benefits of 9mm shock-absorbing foam, taking the buzz out of rougher roads. 3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation. And Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. Lastly, there's the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to 'float' allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.
Made to be both comfortable and stylish, the Assos Cycling Cap can be used year-round thanks to its highly functional design. While traditionally caps have been made in cotton, this cap does away with that and replaces it with functional fabrics that actively wick away sweat. A forehead lining is particularly good at drawing sweat away from the skin. Meanwhile, mesh zones allow for vastly increased airflow and breathability when compared to the old cotton caps. However, not everything traditional has been ditched. The classic look of a contrast centre stripe remains, ensuring style points are gained at the cafe stop. The centre and side panels also offer a great fit and allow for fewer seams, removing bulk and making for greater comfort under your cycle helmet.
Chilly autumn and spring days, or even an early start during summer, can soon leave the knees feeling exposed and stiff. But thanks to the lightly insulated Spring Fall Knee Warmers you can add warmth to this vulnerable joint and keep muscles feeling supple and strong. Dealing quickly with sweat is just as vital for comfort too. And here too the knee warmers excel. The aggressive moisture-wicking fabric deals rapidly with any sweat you generate, preventing it from pooling on the skin and causing irritation. Not only are they great for lightweight insulation, but the warmers also provide protection against the sun's rays during a sunny day of cycling. Meanwhile, Assos' Circular Seamless technology virtually eliminates the bunching normally associated with knee warmers, making them barely noticeable once you pull them on.
For their GT Gloves C2, Assos focused on cooling, durability, and increased comfort - vital priorities for those hot days of summer where you're ticking off bigger distances. At the same time, the GTs also come in some 25% lighter than previous Assos summer gloves - making them less noticeable to wear too. When it comes to breathability and cooling, the GT Gloves excel thanks to the use of a lightweight open-mesh back. With less moisture lingering on the skin, this reduces the chance of internal friction and at the same time ensures a sweat-free grip of the hoods. The streamlined slip-on construction also removes unnecessary bulk from the wrist, improving comfort and breathability. Over the course of a long ride, the VibeProof Palm provides extra comfort. Carefully positioned at pressure points on the palm, the padding soaks up the chatter from rougher road surfaces, improving both comfort and control. The microfibre palm itself also gives a reassuring grip and offers excellent durability. For long and hot summer endurance rides, the GT Gloves C2 are a natural choice.
Epitomising Assos' continuous pursuit of the perfect fit and function on the bike, the Women's UMA GTV Jerseys C2 gives you top-tier performance that will be the envy of even pro riders. From long-distance training efforts to the competitive thrills of racing to the demands of hot, mountainous sportives, it's a jersey you can trust to deliver what you need to perform at your best. Flap-Free Fit Performance and comfort all start with the fit. In this case Assos' regularFit. The body-mapping of seams and panels gives you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. At the waist, the Assos zeroPressure design keeps the fit snug but still allows optimal flexibility for both aggressive riding positions and deep breathing. Raw-cut details at the sleeves, hem and zipper give the final touch to this premium jersey, offering a streamlined and irritation-free fit. Performance Fabrics For the main body, Assos uses an advanced fabric with an ultrasoft feel. Called, Sens SN, this textile is now lighter, softer and more breathable than the previous versions of Sens textiles. With exceptional breathability, it ensures superb comfort on your long, hot days in the saddle. And with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+, you'll enjoy outstanding sun protection too. To the back, a Stabilizator V9 panel supports loaded pockets, preventing sagging and stretch. 3-Mesh open-weave textile is used along the sides, giving a boost to breathability and, with its extra stretch, complements the comfortable but streamlined fit. Meanwhile, the Push-Pull collar and sleeves offer a highly breathable and supportive fit. Lastly, befitting a jersey you'll love to wear from sunrise to sunset, reflective details ensure you're easier to see as light is low.
Times have moved on when mountain bike clothing was overly baggy and rather ill-fitting. The TRAIL Cargo Shorts T3 are instead designed to eliminate excess bulk and yet maintain awesome freedom of movement, just what's needed when you're moving and reacting to ever-changing terrain. An update to the waist design improves the fit compared to previous models and pockets are now easier to access too, even for those with larger hands or when wearing gloves. The Type.OF11 fabric used for the shorts is highly abrasion resistant and with a bi-stretch woven construction. When pedalling uphill, traversing across trails, hitting downhills and just getting rowdy it provides fabulous freedom of movement. Comfort and freedom are further enhanced by Sens ST textile inserts. This lightweight fabric adds a touch of compression where needed and gives you outstanding breathability alongside a super-soft feel against the skin. Fast-drying, flexible, UPF50+ and with durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, these shorts protect you against all the elements. Assos has also been very meticulous with the fit of the Trail Cargo Shorts. The elasticated waist construction known as the AZPtech, ensures a smooth and comfortable feel, lessening pressure across the waist while still holding firm. The trim fit also prevents snagging on the saddle, leaving you free to move around the bike with ease. Meanwhile, the lower legs are relaxed to be suitable with or without pads, giving you the confidence to take on any trail feature.
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 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 gets you there in style and comfort.
Be it the chill of brisk autumn rides, the cool temperature of early spring training or the lower temperatures of an early summer Gran Fondo start, the Spring Fall Leg Warmers provide warmth and flexibility to ensure your muscles remain supple and strong. Dealing quickly with sweat is just as vital for comfort too. And here the leg warmers also excel. The aggressive moisture-wicking fabric deals rapidly with any sweat you generate, preventing it from pooling on the skin and causing irritation. Not only are they great for lightweight insulation, but the warmers also provide protection against the sun's rays during a sunny day of cycling. Meanwhile, Assos' Circular Seamless technology virtually eliminates the bunching normally associated with leg warmers, making them barely noticeable once you pull them on. And should the temperatures rise high, they're light and easily packable in a jersey pocket.
Be it gravel riding, bike packing, gravel racing, all-terrain riding or generally having a great time exploring on two wheels, the MILLE GTC KIESPANZER Bib Shorts C2 have been created to keep you comfortable. When you go beyond the tarmac and head off the beaten track in search of new adventures they're an ideal companion. For rides that stretch from sunrise to sunset, the GTC KIESPANZER have plenty of extra storage. With easily accessible mesh pockets to the thighs and lower back, it's simple to grab the essentials you need, even on the go, without needing to rummage around in your frame bag, handlebar bag or saddlebag. Assos also add highly reflective stripes to the shorts, keeping you visible when your riding days start early before the sun has fully risen, and for when those last kilometres towards your camp or hostel for the night are shrouded in darkness. Built Tough. And Comfortable. With a focus on off-road and multi-day bike packing, Assos have used a combination of Type.429 fabric and 'Bunny Hop' side panels. The 'Bunny Hop' panels fit and feel like a regular performance textile, thanks to its woven polyamide/elastane blend, but it's highly abrasion-resistant too, fending off pulls and scratches from trail-side overgrowth. Meanwhile, Type.429 fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you enjoy a streamlined and flexible fit. 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 venture further and further into the wilds. 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. Tuned for comfort in the saddle and mobility off the bike. At the legs, the Silicone Leg Grippers are a robust version of their Superlight grippers. These provide a solid hold of the shorts, even across rough trails, and grip without the need for bulky grip applique MILLE GTC C2 Insert Tuned for the extra demands of rough off-road riding, the MILLE GTC C2 Insert features the Shock-Absorb Damping Twin system. This consists of MicroShock and FilterFoam in two layers and a total of 19mm of bump-absorbing gravel comfort. An odour-resistant top sheet also keeps you fresher when on the bike. 3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation and thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. The kraterCooler design also sees perforations across the leading edge of the pad, drawing in cool air and boosting breathability. Lastly, there's the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to 'float' allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.
From the chill of misty early spring or autumn rides to the coolness of an early morning start to a long summer ride, the Spring Fall Arm Warmers provide just the right amount of warmth for comfort. However, once you've started to build some body heat, or the sun begins to arm the day, the aggressive moisture-wicking deals quickly with any sweat you generate, preventing it from pooling on the skin. Not only are they great for lightweight insulation, but the warmers also provide protection against the sun's rays during a clear sunny day of cycling. Assos' Circular Seamless technology gives a smooth, irritation-free fit, making them barely noticeable once you pull them on.
