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 EQUIPE RS Spring/Fall Cycling Bib Tights S9Be it a spring interval session or a steady autumn ride, the Assos EQUIPE RS Spring/Fall Cycling Bib Tights S9 offer an ideal blend of insulation and moisture control for comfort in cooler weather. When weather conditions don't call for heavier-weight winter tights but then again shorts and leg warmers aren't quite protective enough, that's when the EQUIPE RS Spring/Fall Cycling Bib Tights S9 come in. With targetted insulation, outstanding flexibility and excellent moisture management, they bring comfort to those transitional seasons that lead into and out of winter. Warmth and Breathability in HarmonyIn order to keep you insulated from cool temperatures, Assos use fabrics from their fleece-backed OSMOS family. For the most part, they use OSMOS light, a low-volume insulator that traps warmth while also offering excellent breathability to regulate temperature. Across the abdomen and crotch panels, areas most susceptible to feel the cold, Assos apply an additional layer of their heavier OSMOS Medium. This twinDeck construction provides extra windproof protection and insulation and yet remains highly breathable too. Compression. Comfort.The Spring/Fall bib tights are not only warm but they provide excellent compression and support of your muscles. The use of double-layer fabrics provides a compressive structure, firmly wrapping your large muscle groups to encourage positive circulation and uniform warmth throughout. Keeping the tights comfortably in place is Assos' A-Lock Engineering bib design, featuring rollBar braces and ergoBox construction, creating a tight that's perfectly stabilised and holding the seat insert in the correct position at all times. At the waist and hems, a raw-cut, stitch-free finish gives a smooth and flexible fit, ensuring you enjoy the utmost comfort and a smooth transition between tights and additional layers. Assos EQUIPE RS InsertSupport and comfort on the saddle are provided by the EQUIPE RS Insert. In order to boost warmth, the ventilation holes from the summer version are removed but everything else remains just the same.The pad makes use of superAir microShock foam in a 3D waffle design. The shock-absorbing SuperAir foam is lightweight and quick to return to its original form, filling gaps each time you shift weight and change position on the saddle. The waffle design meanwhile, sees the use of three-layer perforated foam to increases breathability and reduce bulk. And with goldenGate technology, the unique design allows a more natural irritation-free movement when pedalling.

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.
