New WorldTour-proven racing equipment designed from scratch for aerodynamic performance at your body’s leading edge. Assos' WorldTour riders asked for gloves as aerodynamic as their EQUIPE RSR racing equipment. After all of every part of the cyclist gloves hit the wind first so it’s an ideal spot to engineer aerodynamic gains. Assos capitalized on that pole position with an aerodynamic fabric oriented to reduce drag when stretched out on aerobar extensions during time trials. 75%PL 25%EA Palm 56%PL 44%EA
Ideal for those cool fall and spring rides where added knee coverage and a touch of insulation make all the difference Assos crafted the Spring Fall Knickers to meet the demands of these variable conditions. The fit lines up with our regularFit design which means they’re lightly compressive where they need to be without being as tight as our racingFit design. To underscore that aspect we’ve pre-shaped and sewn the fabric panels to fully wrap and support the upper leg muscles knees and calves while in motion.
An exceptionally light base layer that manages moisture and controls odor beneath second-skin cold-weather layers or as a standalone top during indoor training. Thermal weatherproof equipment is no longer the bulky PVC rain capes and adapted ski jackets of decades past so—at the request of our WorldTour riders—we tailored a long-sleeve base layer to provide summer-worthy wicking and odor control that fits unobtrusively beneath race-tuned equipment like our Spring Fall Jersey or Jacket. In cool or cold weather transporting internal moisture is as important as keeping the external elements out especially during intense training or racing when a series of intervals hill repeats or attacks can lead to lingering moisture a clammy chill and frigid misery. Alternatively full-arm wicking is a must for indoor training when moving through the air isn’t constantly keeping your arms dry. WHEN/HOW TO USE IT Layer it under insulating weatherproof layers for fall winter and early spring; for indoor training layer it under your bib straps and omit the jersey altogether. 89%PP 7%PA 4%EA
The pinnacle of base layer technology with added insulation for cool-weather cycling. Seamless breathable stretchable durable and odor-resistant—a high-performance second skin. Everything a standard base layer does the DermaSensor does better. Breathability extreme stretch compression—no other material transforms the rider like this. Its true seamless construction means that it also layers better than any other base layer disappearing between skin and thermal layers or light jackets as a frictionless second skin to maintain a dry warm microclimate in cool weather. 45%PA 43%PL 12%EA
An indispensable accessory. Few solutions are as universally applicable to cool-weather cycling’s common problems as a well-made neck gaiter. A lightly insulated highly breathable neck gaiter is one of the most useful tools for shoulder-season cycling and our durable composition ensures it’ll shine in your toolkit for countless seasons to come—a rare beacon of stability in the protean industry of cycling tech.

Assos' most extreme option for winter protection for your neck face and head. Since staying warm is impossible without staying dry we made the main section a two layer twinDeck construction that traps warmth on the inside and pulls moisture to the outside. The panel spanning chin throat and sternum is further reinforced against the cold with Winter Foam Light a neoprene-like material that boosts insulation at a critical point. 40%PA 36%PP 15%EA 9%PL
Race-oriented booties that provide light insulation and water repellency without the stifling heat of a waterproof rain bootie or proper winter overshoe. Light gloves are the first item we pull out of the drawer as summer fades into fall and the last item we put away as spring brightens back into summer. These are the equivalent for your feet—though with decidedly more aerodynamic benefits: the design was race-trialed by Fabian Cancellara in the 2016 Rio Olympics’ time trial where the Swiss champion won gold. In addition to smooth aerodynamics the Spring Fall Booties block wind and water providing the right balance of breathability and protection for spring and fall riding. 78%PA 22%EA
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
Cycling socks with midweight insulation for riding in cold low-light conditions. In cold weather staying dry is imperative to staying warm so we engineered a unique yarn that provides midweight insulation while transferring moisture like a summer sock ensuring the added warmth isn’t lost to clammy chill. We also added a strip of highly visible STL textile on the Achilles and a ring of Winter 3/3 blue around the arch increasing your visibility on the road and your socks’ visibility in a drawer of black cycling equipment. 60%PL 20%PA 16%CO 4%EA
An insulating cycling skull cap with double-knit layers of circular seamless for warmth and breathability and a fit that better accommodates long hair Double-knit layers of breathable insulation protect your forehead and ears against the sting of winter rides. An improved fit better accommodates long hair while all-around breathability protects against overheating and the accumulation of internal moisture. 84%PP 8%PA 8%EA
A windproof water-repellent and low-bulk winter glove reworked with increased insulation and a palm construction that prevents bunching while maintaining bar feel and finger dexterity. Replacing the microfiber palm a new thermal breathable water-repellent textile provides optimal grip finger dexterity and bar feel while eliminating the tendency of microfiber to absorb moisture be it sweat or frigid road spray. The palm padding pattern also aligns with the padding on our summer and shoulder-season gloves creating a uniform sense of comfort year-round.

The next evolution in total comfort for winter bib tights refined with increased insulation and a deeper plusher insert. The new RX EVO Plus textile is the most insulating of the RX Evo family. The added insulating qualities of RX EVO Plus textile handle colder conditions than the previous model reducing the gap to the ULTRAZ counterpart without risking overheating in all but winter’s worst weather. The new material breathes well to maintain a dry warm microclimate and the new model is also updated with our MILLE GT C2 insert which adds 2mm of plush comfort for long rides maintaining form or building base miles for the coming season. 76%PA 24%EA
