A spiritual successor to Assos' premium CENTO and Campionissimo shorts, the MILLE GT Cycling Bib Shorts GTO C2 are another leap forward in cycling comfort. With radical reshaping of the shorts' panels and reversed stitch lines, Assos have been able to remove areas of irritation while at the same time improving muscle support and tapered, wrinkle-free leg panels that adhere perfectly to your physique. Ossidia textile - Muscle-supporting Compression The primary textile used in their is construction is Assos' own Ossidia material. The warp-knit of OSSIDIA provides silky smooth compression along your lower back and thighs, helping push back fatigue and fight lactate-full muscles. Made from ultrathin, highly elastic yarns, Ossidia also fits just like a second skin, delivering incredible breathability and flexibility too. UPF 50+ also protect you from the sun. Meanwhile, the front panel uses LOSANGA. This material ensures there's less pressure around your sensitive areas, enhancing comfort on long days in the saddle. Wrapped in Comfort The GTO straps and leg panels feature Assos' rollBar and one-piece Butterfly panel construction. This offers extra stability and support. Each leag panel also features louvreTec darted construction, delivering a custom, compressive hold of your thighs. At the ends of the thighs, the raw-cut skinGrip finish, with minimal silicone grip, prevents your shorts from riding up while also exerting minimal pressure. A raw-cut waist also delivers a pressure-free and smooth fit. MILLE GTO C2 Insert Using their stitch-free goldenGate technology and reversed seams, the MILLE GTO C2 Insert is honed for long-distance cycling comfort. The front features Assos' sunDeck superlight - a successor to their iconic kukuPenthouse - made using an ultrasoft foam-free textile to form a preshaped cup that both supports the male anatomy and promotes maximum ventilation. The pad also features the twin21 System made of three separate layers. Firstly, 11mm of lightweight microShock foam gives shock absorption. Next 10mm of lower-density matrix foam. This is sandwiched between the microShock and the 3D waffle outer to fully absorb micro-vibrations. The 3D waffle itself is a 3-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
The inspiration for the RS Rain Cycling Overshoes are the aerodynamic EQUIPE RS Rapidfire Chrono Booties. Here, Assos apply the same attention to smooth, streamlined performance but with the benefit of the RS Rain being waterproof. Ultrathin 2-layer waterproof and breathable Water-Shield fabric provides protection against wet and dirty roads while maintaining excellent breathability too. Assos have also taped all seams to prevent water from seeping in. Practical features include a reverse waterproof Camlock zipper making your overshoes easy to pull on and off before and after your rides. Assos' zeroCuff is a raw-cut edge at the top, creating a smooth and streamlined finish to the booties. Meanwhile, the grippy sportGrip across the sole provides extra traction when you're off the bike and gives a boost to durability. Be it a summer rainstorm, spring showers or mild but damp winter days, the aero RS Rain Cycling Overshoes keep comfort levels high and airflow smooth. ENGINEERING - Taped Seams: Applied to all seams throughout, increasing the watertight properties of the booties. - sportGrip: This grippy monostretch textile is applied to the sole for durability and to boost traction while walking.
A spiritual successor to Assos' premium CENTO and Campionissimo shorts, the MILLE GT Cycling Long Bib Shorts GTO C2, here with a 3cm longer leg length than standard, are another leap forward in cycling comfort. With radical reshaping of the shorts' panels and reversed stitch lines, Assos have been able to remove areas of irritation while at the same time improving muscle support and tapered, wrinkle-free leg panels that adhere perfectly to your physique.

Building upon the performance of the standard GT Winter Overshoes, these GT Ultraz Winter Cycling Overshoes double up the protection for increased warmth in the harshest of winter cycling conditions. The primary material used is Assos' own ThermoShell 3-layer softshell. This 3-layer softshell uses a PU-bonded membrane to give excellent protection against freezing winds and damp weather. A perforated circular knit face is also deployed to enhance breathability without sacrificing thermal protection. Construction is in two overlapping layers, this twinDeck construction giving a significant boost to warmth and weather protection. And with a DWR finish applied to the outside, your feet are kept cosy through extreme weathers. Practical features include a reverse Camlock zipper making your overshoes easy to pull on before and off after your rides. Assos' zeroCuff is a raw-cut edge at the top, creating a smooth and streamlined finish to the booties. Meanwhile, the grippy sportGrip across the sole provides extra traction when you're off the bike and gives a boost to durability.
Taking their outstanding RS and RSR Bib Shorts S9, Assos have made changes to fabrics to maintain the fabulous comfort but deliver extra helpings of ventilation alongside a reduction in weight. For hot summer days spent tackling alpine ascents or the demands of intense indoor training sessions, they're the perfect pick. Low on weight. High on Ventilation. With fewer seams used in their construction and the use of ultralight and highly breathable materials, you'll enjoy greater comfort and fresher, cooler leg muscles when the mercury rises. The full-wrap Butterfly panel is carried over from the standard S9s but here super-light Breezer Tex is deployed. This woven fabric has a mesh-like structure, allowing for enhanced airflow inwards and outstanding breathability outwards. Other front and rear panels are made in OSSIDIA warp-knit material. This provides a firm compressive hold of your key muscle groups, and thanks to excellent abrasion resistance ensure excellent durability on the saddle. Meanwhile, the bib straps use a lighter elastic, reducing weight and minimising sweat absorption. A-Lock Engineering Assos apply the same S9 A-Lock Engineering for these Superléger shorts. This compromises a two-panel design made into a 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 frictionless comfort no matter how intense your efforts. At the waist, raw-cut edges give a smooth transition between body and fabric, ensuring more comfort and less pressure. Raw-cut edges are also utilised at the leg openings, with minimal silicone grippers to keep your shorts in place with minimal weight and pressure. S9 SUNDECK Seat Insert An evolution of the EQUIPE RS insert, the S9 SUNDECK enjoys a reduction in weight for less bulk. Assos' whirlKrater system is also deployed. This uses strategically placed holes throughout the pad to boost airflow, creating a pad that minimises sweat absorption and boosts breathability. You'll also have the benefits of the standard RS pad. Shock-absorbing SuperAir microShock foam, in a 3D waffle design, is 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.
The softshell NEOS Medium material ensures the GT Winter Cycling Overshoes prevent your feet from suffering from the bite of colder winter temperatures. It's the same material as used for Assos' winterproof jackets so has been comprehensively tested and proven to keep off cold winds and to repel damp, drizzly conditions. This 3-layer softshell, with PU bonded membrane, also breathes well, keeping your feet comfortable during all levels of intensity during your ride. Practical features include a reverse Camlock zipper making your overshoes easy to pull on before and off after your rides. Assos' zeroCuff is a raw-cut edge at the top, creating a smooth and streamlined finish to the booties. Meanwhile, the grippy sportGrip across the sole provides extra traction when you're off the bike and gives a boost to durability.
Less is More From the demands of long-distance cycling to the short and intense efforts of indoor training, the MILLE GT Half Shorts C2 give you superb muscle support, tuned flexibility and a premium pad that delivers outstanding comfort on the saddle. All without the need for a bib upper. While bib shorts are supported by the bib straps, the GT Half Shorts make use of Assos' zeroPressure waistband design. To the back and sides, this design provides a firm hold, preventing slippage while the highly flexible front panel allows optimal flexibility for both deep breathing and low riding positions. Endurance Fit and Feel With a focus on long training rides and endurance events, but also everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease. 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 rides get longer, matching the longer days of summer. 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. The aero comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 6mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin. MILLE GT C2 Insert With 3mm of extra cushioning, the MILLE GT C2 pad is more comfortable, more supportive and more shock-absorbing than ever. Compressive foam layers, up to 11mm in depth, 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.
Flagship Performace The flagship EQUIPE RS Bib Shorts S9 TARGA is a redesign of its RS S9 predecessor, with a reduction in weight and bulk while maintaining superb flexibility, muscle compression and aerodynamic fit. You'll also find materials that dry quicker - ensuring soaked up perspiration doesn't add unnecessary mid-ride weight. Across the lower abdomen, an Ossidia material panel offers greater stretch than previously achieved. This allows for more comfort, easing pressure when you're in a low riding position while also expanding during deep-breathing high-intensity efforts. Elsewhere, lightly compressive and silky Type.441 is not only superbly comfortable but also provides excellent abrasion resistance. Active cooling is ideal for hot summer rides and it's UV protective and odour-resistant too. Speed and Comfort Harmonised The 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 Engineering The 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 Insert Taking 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.
Continual Improvement Assos are committed to continual improvement. And the MILLE GT Bib Shorts C2 are a perfect example, taking their highly acclaimed GT shorts and subjecting them to a rigorous re-evaluation and redesign to enhance the fit, feel and performance. Improvements to the waist design, premium X-frame suspension carriage and a reduction in seams and weight (28% and 5g, respectively) have all led to shorts that feel just right, the moment you pull them on. Endurance Fit and Feel With a focus on long training rides and endurance events, but also everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease.

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. At the waist, the more forgiving zeroPressure design also keeps the shorts beautifully in place while allowing optimal flexibility for deep breathing and low riding positions. The aero comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 6mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin. MILLE GT C2 Insert With 3mm of extra cushioning, the MILLE GT C2 pad is more comfortable, more supportive and more shock-absorbing than ever. Compressive foam layers, up to 11mm in depth, 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.
While it may seem easy to make waist cycling shorts, the absence of bib straps for support can cause issues, with lesser shorts slipping, pinching and constricting. Assos have worked hard to engineer out those issues, with the Women's UMA GT Half Shorts C2 (long) giving a beautifully secure and comfortable fit. It's at the waist that this perfect fit is optimised. The forgiving zeroPressure design keeps the shorts firmly in place but not at the expense of comfort or flexibility. When you're breathing deeply during harder efforts and adopting low riding positions this makes all the difference. You'll also find a mesh waistband extending upwards, ensuring there are no revealing gaps between your shorts and jersey. Endurance Fit and Feel With a focus on long training rides, endurance events, indoor training, and everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the UMA GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease.
