They balance warmth, breathability and weather protection, making them ideal for those days when you're just not sure what the day has in store. Spring into Autumn To take on the demands of cool and changeable conditions Assos engineered textiles specifically for the task and used them to make these extremely versatile 3/4 waist tights.

Exceed Expectations Racing at the highest level puts extreme demands on riders and their kit, what with the hours of movement, changes of weather, climbing and descending, changes of the road surface and constant in and out of the saddle accelerations. This level of performance requirements has pushed Assos' engineers to create a host of new comfort-focused features which can meet and exceed the demands of even the harshest of race conditions. The result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 featuring A-Lock engineering and rollBar bib technology. A-Lock Engineering A-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 Butterfly The next phase of the A-Lock engineering system is significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and seat insert. Firstly the panelling, the class-leading S7 shorts used a four-panel construction, whereas the S9 now features just two. The result of using just two panels is a reduction in seams leading to less weight and more comfort. Those two 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. rollBar Bib Design The 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 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. S9 Insert At 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. 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 shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.
Taking feedback on their renowned T.LaalalaiShorts_s7, Assos have given their women's specific bib short design a new lease of life with improvements to fabrics, fit and convenience. The result of their hard work is the Women's UMA GTV Bib Shorts C2. When it comes to taking a quick nature break and getting going again, the 'Bisilick' twin magnetic closure system takes the fuss out of the situation. The old single front closure has been replaced by a twin magnetic closure to the back. This is more comfortable and secure when in the saddle but offers easy convenience for pit stops. Improvements have also been made to the fabrics. Ossidia fabric has been deployed, reducing overall weight while making no compromise to elasticity, compression, or UV protection (UPF50+). You'll also remain cool and fresh thanks to odour control and active cooling. These are permanent characteristics, permanently integrated into the material itself, not applied as a topical treatment The X-Frame bib design stabilises the UMA GT seat pad perfectly in place, ensuring comfort at all times and preventing irritation as you pedal. An updated AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) also realises even greater comfort, with a beautiful fit for all types of rider. 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, with Tech Sheen Mesh insert across the abdomen, also keeps the shorts beautifully in place while allowing optimal flexibility for deep breathing and low riding positions. The comfort also extends to the Ultralight leg grippers. 6mm in depth and minus seams, 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.
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.
