If the weather is too mild for full winter kit but too chilly for shorts, the Mille GT Spring Fall Bib Knickers C2 bridge the gap perfectly. RX EVO Warmth In order to get the ideal balance of warmth, breathability and flexibility, Assos deploy their RX EVO textile. This cosy mid-weight material offers just the right level of insulation for spring and autumn rides. The brushed inner face traps body heat while excellent breathability prevents sweat build-up during harder riding. A water-repellent treatment also adds protection against damp roads and drizzle. Shaped for Comfort Pre-shaped panels have been re-engineered leading to fewer seams while also reducing weight and all without compromising on compression and comfort. The Assos regularFit strikes the perfect balance between streamlined performance and all-day comfort.

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.
A low-volume regularFit winter jacket featuring a blend of NEOS softshell textiles and fleece-backed RX for targeted protection warmth and breathability in cold winter riding conditions. We engineered the Winter EVO for the committed rider who prefers to ride outdoors year-round with strategically placed textiles optimized not only for protection and comfort in cold winter conditions but also for the forward body position on the road bike. Pair the EVO with a Winter Skin Layer for most winter conditions. 46%PA 35%PL 19%EA
Assos EQUIPE RS Bib Shorts S9 TARGATweaked, tuned, re-engineered, the Assos EQUIPE RS Bib Shorts S9 TARGA bring WorldTour level performance to your local roads. Now more comfortable, more flexible and more supportive than ever. Race-Winning PerformaceWhether you're a racer or not, the EQUIPE RS Bib Shorts S9 TARGA offer the exact same performance gains as enjoyed by the pros during their race campaigns. Building upon the previous iteration, these RS S9s are now lighter and less bulky while still retaining the renowned compressive fit, flexibility and aerodynamic performance of the previous model. Quick-drying materials are also used, preventing a gain of weight from sweat being soaked up - every little bit counts when riding hard. Assos' breathable and flexible Ossidia textile is used across the lower abdomen. This reduces pressure when in a low, aggressive riding position while also expanding during deep-breathing high-intensity efforts.Assos' silky smooth Type.441 textile is also deployed. This offers light muscle compression to ease fatigue while also offering excellent abrasion resistance. Active cooling is ideal for hot summer rides and it's UV protective and odour-resistant too.Speed and Comfort HarmonisedThe RS S9s are made with the Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) RacingFit. This is tuned to provide you with shorts that deliver stability, comfort and a smooth, streamlined race-ready fit. ASSOS shorts are legendary; this fit design is why.The aero comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 6mm in depth and using LYCRA®, they provide a secure fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from short to skin. A-Lock EngineeringThe 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 InsertTaking 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.FeaturesMaterials: 75% Polyamide, 19% Elastane, 6% PolyesterA-Lock Engineering: RollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panelImproved Carbon Xbib dual-sided construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.441 textile - gently compressive, silky smooth material but abrasion-resistant - active cooling - UV protectiveOssidia inserts - targeted stretch in sensitive areasSuperlight Leg Grippers - open structure 6cm gripper with LYCRA®RacingFit- AEPD fit system - engineered for comfort, flexibility and pure second-skin performanceS9 Sundeck Insert - a supportive seat pad with improved ventilation and breathabilityLeg Length: StandardBuy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Flagship Performace The flagship EQUIPE RS Bib Shorts S9 TARGA is a redesign of its RS S9 predecessor, with a reduction in weight and bulk while maintaining superb flexibility, muscle compression and aerodynamic fit. You'll also find materials that dry quicker - ensuring soaked up perspiration doesn't add unnecessary mid-ride weight. Across the lower abdomen, an Ossidia material panel offers greater stretch than previously achieved. This allows for more comfort, easing pressure when you're in a low riding position while also expanding during deep-breathing high-intensity efforts. Elsewhere, lightly compressive and silky Type.441 is not only superbly comfortable but also provides excellent abrasion resistance. Active cooling is ideal for hot summer rides and it's UV protective and odour-resistant too.
