Assos EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain JacketThe ultralight Assos EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain Jacket is now on its third iteration, with improvements to performance and durability, making it a wet-weather essential when training and racing. The outstanding wet-weather performance and lack of bulk of the EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain Jacket is made possible by its combination of 3-layer Schloss Tex material and a durable breathable membrane. Schloss Tex is Assos' lightest waterproof textile, and it's also rustle-free and with slight stretch to give you a jacket with a performance fit. You'll also find full-taped seams prevent the slow ingress of water during prolonged bouts of rain. Thanks to the high degree of breathability, riding into a tough headwind or powering up steep climbs won't leave you soaking in sweat either. Compared to previous versions, this Targa jacket does away with the rear pocket slots. This removes an area of water ingress while also removing excess bulk too. With the two-way full-length front zipper you can unzip from the bottom, both as a means to access rear jersey pockets while also allowing easier control of ventilation and temperature regulation. A stitchless rear reflective strip also removes an area of water ingress while keeping you visible when daylight fades. A tall collar keeps the elements off at the neck and an extended rear lower panel fends off tyre spray at the back. The body-hugging Assos raceFit also ensures you're not wasting precious energy in battling a loose and flappy jacket. Easy to pack in a jersey pocket, the EQUIPE RS Targa Cycling Rain Jacket is now better than ever. Ideal for race day or training sessions, it slips over your cycling kit to fend off wind and rain while not weighing you down when not needed.

Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGAThe Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA bring you an unrivalled race-ready fit, flexibility and fast-riding aerodynamics. For cyclists seeking performance gains and ultimate comfort, these are the ones. Take the Best. And Make it Better.The original RSR S9 bib shorts took cycling performance to a new level. But never ones to sit back and relax, the team at Assos have looked for areas to improve. The EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA are now more flexible, more supportive and lighter than ever.Re-engineered fit and fabrics also ease pressure in sensitive areas while maintaining the renowned aerodynamics of its predecessor. And faster-drying fabrics prevent sweat from soaking in and adding weight. After all, every little bit of weight saving counts when you're on the bike. A combination of woven Type.701kompressor textile and Ossidia inserts give the shorts a near frictionless fit. Not only that, the ultrathin yarns are extremely elastic, allowing for superb muscle compression and flexibility, ensuring pedalling has never felt easier. Carbon Xbib ConstructionThe A-frame suspension design of the Carbon Xbib limits the vertical stretch to the back of the shorts. This provides a secure and stable position of the S9 seat pad at all times. The Dual-face Carbon material is now quicker drying, an improvement upon the previous single-sided design. Built for SpeedAs you'd expect, the S9 TARGA shorts are engineered with Assos RacingFit. This second-skin fit maximises your speed while also optimising flexibility and comfort. The leg length is also extended when compared to the Equip RS and Mille GT lines. Smooth aerodynamics extends to the leg grippers. The Assos skinGrip cuffs give compressive support across the thighs, with silicone grippers to provide a secure non-slip fit. Minimal transitional ridges between skin and shorts keep airflow smooth. 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: 68% Polyamide, 26% Elastane, 6% PolyamideA-Lock Engineering: RollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panelImproved Carbon Xbib dual-sided construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.701kompressor - patented woven textile developed specifically forcompressive hold and second-skin comfortType.701kompressor - UPF 50+, dyed-through yarns with infused odorControl, maximum abrasion-resistance, friction reduction, hydrophobicity, and heat managementOssidia inserts - targeted stretch in sensitive areasskinGrip - Compressive leg bands and silicone grip keep the cuffs and leg panels secureRacingFit- most aggressive, most aerodynamic, most compressive, and - simply - the fastest option from AssosS9 Sundeck Insert - a supportive seat pad with improved ventilation and breathabilityLeg Length: Long Buy 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.
