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.
Push the Boundaries Professional riders demand a lot from their cycling kit and in particular their bib shorts, spending hours upon hours on the saddle, facing wildly varying weather, challenging climbs and heart-racing descents plus the lung-bursting efforts of racing for the win. And it's these demands that the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 have been engineered to deal with. With no corners cut, they'll leave you experiencing the most exemplary levels of comfort and muscle support. A-Lock Engineering As the name suggests, the A-Lock Engineering design is about creating shorts that 'lock into place', with the seat insert held exactly where it's needed in order to deliver unrivalled on-the-saddle comfort. It begins with the Type.441 textile. With exceptional compression qualities and silk-like feel, it provides superb stability and comfort to the shorts. Furthermore, it offers excellent moisture management, is anti-odour and is durable too. All yielding excellent cycling performance. Float like a Butterfly The next component of the A-Lock engineering system is the design and construction of the short panels. Previous Assos shorts have used four panels. The S9 uses just two. This gives a reduction in weight and fewer seams, boosting long-ride comfort. The two panels are shaped into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design. This hugs your legs and lower back snugly while also maintaining superb flexibility. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts. rollBar Bib Design Supporting the lower shorts section is Assos' rollBar bib strap system. Acting like a car's anti-sway bar, the rollBar bibs stabilise and secure the seat insert in place. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight. So whether on the saddle or jumping out of the saddle to sprint, the seat pad remains perfectly placed. The bib straps are a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame that perfectly supports the shorts. 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 Multi-Layer Seat Insert The heart of the shorts is the multi-layered S9 seat insert. Next to the skin you'll experience the soothing comfort of an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber. KraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad prevent excess sweat from hanging around to cause discomfort. A 3D-shaped 3-layer perforated waffle foam is the next layer to provide comfort. Reducing weight and bulk but easing pressure, it's ready for a tough day on the saddle. Then comes the superAir microShock foam core. It offers a combination of shock-absorption and memory return, adding comfort over all road surfaces and re-adapting to your body position every time you shift weight. It's a pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Conclusion Assos have once again pushed the boundaries of what defines high-performance cycling bib shorts. Fabric, construction and fit are all carefully refined and engineered for on-the-bike comfort. Their finest fitting and most comfortable bib shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.
