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.

Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9The Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 push technical performance and race-bred comfort to a new level. Going back to the drawing board Assos designers have paid attention to every detail to create the finest racing shorts possible.Developed with Pros. Ridden by You.Having entered back into the milieu of the Pro Tour Peloton, Assos have made full use of the knowledge and feedback from pro riders. With a Grand Tour or Classic taking in all weathers, varying road surfaces, steep climbs, manic descents and sprints a lot is demanded of a pair of shorts. This has pushed the engineering team to create innovative solutions focused on delivering the finest fit, comfort and support for the demanding cyclist. The final result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 with A-Lock engineering. A-Lock EngineeringAt the heart of this bib short is a new Assos concept, A-Lock Engineering. Using a combination of new construction methods and materials, Assos' engineers have managed to create a short where the seat insert remains in the perfect position at all times. They start with Type.441 textile, a silky smooth fabric which boasts incredible moisture management, anti-odour and long term durability - all-in-all, a perfect cycling fabric. This new fabric is then carefully tailored using a brand new panel design to create an incredibly stable platform for the seat insert. Where their S7 shorts use four panels, the S9s reduce this to just two, lessening bulk, reducing seams and hence increasing comfort. The two panels form a unique 'butterfly' shape, wrapping around the legs snugly to form what Assos have named their ergoBox structure. It is this which keeps the seat insert perfectly positioned, whether you're in the saddle, out of the saddle, sprinting or climbing. rollBar Bib DesignAssos have also completely redesigned the bib straps on the S9. Just like an anti-sway bar on a car, the new rollBar design provides stability. The straps pass over the rear of the shorts and attach directly into the same seam as the seat insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made with highly elastic materials, a single Y-frame piece in the back creating the ideal level of support for the shorts while exerting minimal pressure. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts use an antibacterial carbon weave, wicking away moisture incredibly quickly for intense comfort. These are bib shorts you'll barely realise are there. S9 InsertAt the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you're guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Assos have once again pushed what is possible with performance cycling equipment. With incredible attention to every detail, every seam and fabric engineering, the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 will allow you to ride further and faster than ever, pushing performance to new heights.

Assos Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9Spanning the months between summer and autumn and spring, the Assos Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 bring summer-race-short comfort but add in extra warmth for cooler seasons of the year.Wonderfully Warm. Brilliantly Breathable. As cyclists, we are all acutely aware of those months of the year where temperatures are cool but full winter weight kit isn't quite necessary. The Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts deal with these conditions perfectly thanks to thigh panels in Assos' heavyweight brushed-back Osmos Heavy material. Incredibly soft against the skin, the fleecy back holds on to body heat but its excellent breathability lets your skin breathe, preventing clamminess during harder, more intense efforts on the bike. With its warp-knit outer, Osmos Heavy provides compression and support of the muscles and encourages warming blood flow. At the crotch you'll find double layer, windproof Sphere Ultra textile keeps sensitive areas protected from the cold and comfort levels high all day. Race Proven ComfortKeeping the shorts comfortably in place is Assos' A-Lock Engineering bib design, featuring rollBar braces, creating a short that's perfectly stabilised and holding the seat insert in the correct position at all times. Speaking of the seat pad, this is Assos' EQUIPE RS Insert. In order to boost warmth, the ventilation holes from the summer version are removed but everything else remains - the superAir microShock foam, 3D waffle and goldenGate technology - making for incredible comfort on the saddle.With temperatures a long way from the highs of summer, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 provide just the right level of comfort to combat cool weather. Pair them with knee or leg warmers for all-year versatility.

Assos Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9The Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9 take comfort on the bike to a new level. Created for those of you who love to race and ride fast, they make no compromises in their pursuit of performance. Engineered for the Female AthleteThe Women's Dyora RS Bib Shorts S9 are borne of Assos' desire to make the best performing and most comfortable shorts for the most demanding of women cyclists. Engineered with a host of innovative features they provide incredible comfort when you're climbing and descending, out of the saddle sprinting, in the saddle pushing hard on the pedals and moving over long hours of riding. They're designed to offer comfort during even the toughest of race conditions.A-Lock EngineeringA-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.441 textile. This is a fabric which has exceptional compression qualities and with its silk feel is incredibly comfortable against the skin. Not only that it's quick-wicking, anti-odour and durable, the perfect fabric for performance cycling.Float like a ButterflyThe next phase of the A-Lock engineering system are significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and a seat insert that stays in place perfectly. Firstly the panelling number is reduced, reducing complexity and weight while enhancing comfort. The result of using fewer panels is also a reduction in seams, again boosting comfort through the elimination of chafing while also saving more weight. The panels are then engineered into Assos' 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 comfort no matter how intense your efforts or how much you shift weight.rollBar Bib DesignThe bib straps also get completely redesigned, with a brand new rollBar system for unrivalled support of the lower shorts section. The rollBar system acts just like an anti-sway bar in a car, the straps stabilising and securing the seat insert in place as you move. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle.The bib straps themselves are made from a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. 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. They're positioned wider apart at the front too, taking into account the female anatomy and accommodating a wide range of body shapes. Women's DYORA RS InsertAt the heart of the Dyora RS Bib Shorts is the women's specific Women's DYORA RS Insert. This seat pad takes race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin to offer all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Then a superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. Lastly, the goldenGate technology, a patented desing, sees interrupts stitching along both of the insert’s side panels to allow more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels. Their finest fitting and most comfortable women's cycling shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.Features:Materials: 80% Polyamide, 20% ElastaneA-Lock Engineering technologyRollBar Bib strap stabilization30% Seam Reduction reduces weight enhances comfort (weight: 165g)ErgoBox construction stabilizes seat padZeroWaist raw cut waist transitionButterfly pattern wraps lower legs and backUltralight leg grippers free of silicone but maintains perfect holdCarbon Xbib multi-fabric construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.441 fabric - 40-gauge warp knit, developed specifically for compression hold and silky comfort -UPF 50+, moisture-wickingWomen's DYORA RS InsertBuy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Engineered with a host of innovative features they provide incredible comfort when you're climbing and descending, out of the saddle sprinting, in the saddle pushing hard on the pedals and moving over long hours of riding. They're designed to offer comfort during even the toughest of race conditions.A-Lock EngineeringA-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.441 textile. This is a fabric which has exceptional compression qualities and with its silk feel is incredibly comfortable against the skin. Not only that it's quick-wicking, anti-odour and durable, the perfect fabric for performance cycling.Float like a ButterflyThe next phase of the A-Lock engineering system are significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and a seat insert that stays in place perfectly. Firstly the panelling number is reduced, reducing complexity and weight while enhancing comfort. The result of using fewer panels is also a reduction in seams, again boosting comfort through the elimination of chafing while also saving more weight. The panels are then engineered into Assos' 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 comfort no matter how intense your efforts or how much you shift weight.rollBar Bib DesignThe bib straps also get completely redesigned, with a brand new rollBar system for unrivalled support of the lower shorts section. The rollBar system acts just like an anti-sway bar in a car, the straps stabilising and securing the seat insert in place as you move. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle.The bib straps themselves are made from a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. 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. They're positioned wider apart at the front too, taking into account the female anatomy and accommodating a wide range of body shapes. Women's DYORA RS InsertAt the heart of the Dyora RS Bib Shorts is the women's specific Women's DYORA RS Insert. This seat pad takes race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin to offer all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Then a superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. Lastly, the goldenGate technology, a patented desing, sees interrupts stitching along both of the insert’s side panels to allow more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels. Their finest fitting and most comfortable women's cycling shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.Features:Materials: 80% Polyamide, 20% ElastaneA-Lock Engineering technologyRollBar Bib strap stabilization30% Seam Reduction reduces weight enhances comfort (weight: 165g)ErgoBox construction stabilizes seat padZeroWaist raw cut waist transitionButterfly pattern wraps lower legs and backUltralight leg grippers free of silicone but maintains perfect holdCarbon Xbib multi-fabric construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.441 fabric - 40-gauge warp knit, developed specifically for compression hold and silky comfort -UPF 50+, moisture-wickingWomen's DYORA RS InsertBuy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
