With simplicity and comfort sitting as their core characteristics, the Essence Socks High are the ideal finishing touch for any cycling kit. The super-soft and stretchy material mix offers a snug fit that stays put beautifully. There's also light compression and arch support that cosset your feet. Incredible moisture management and airflow also ensure your feet remain dry too. Seamless construction is the final touch, offering a friction-free, secure fit from toes to cuff.
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.
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.
The ethos behind the GT Socks C2 is all about creating a sock you'll forget is even there, such is their comfort. Updated and highly functional fabrics are quicker than ever at dealing with moisture, preventing sweat pooling on the skin and causing you discomfort. Odour resistance is also built-in and drying times are incredibly quick too, both delivering freshness during and after your ride. Ventilation is also improved, boosting cooling airflow to your feet when the heat is high. The updated yarns offer support across the metatarsals, arch, and ankle, giving comfort for rides both long and short. Assos have also minimised seams in their construction, reducing the risk of abrasion and irritation.
The Pro-tier performance of the EQUIPE RS Jersey S9 TARGA is achieved via a number of factors, including continuing with the aerodynamic detailing of its predecessor, careful fabric choice, bonded seam technology and Assos' aggressive RacingFit. Assos RacingFit Made for the WorldTour, you can expect the Assos RacingFit to give you a second-skin fit that seeks to offer maximum performance from your hard-won fitness. With a cut designed to excel in aero riding positions, it will feel strange when you first pull the jersey on. But settle into the drops or bar extensions and it all makes sense. Compression in all the right places also delivers outstanding comfort and support. Fast but Comfortable Fabrics The fast functional fabric mix begins with the use of Assos miniCheck Tex fabric to the front. This 3D knit fabric is extremely elastic to give you the close aero fit needed to go fast, streamlining you to optimise your power output. But not just that, it's highly breathable too, ensuring you don't get overwhelmed with sweat when your race and training efforts intensify. Elsewhere, the rear of the jersey sees Assos' featherweight Stabilizer textile deployed. This holds the jersey smoothly in place thanks to its limited vertical stretch, keeping airflow smooth and uninterrupted while also supporting the rear pockets. Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw-cut bonded Push-Pull textile sleeves eliminate any disruptive tape or seams from the leading edge, giving a true lie flat, low drag transition from jersey to skin. Practical Features With the focus on performance, the Assos team haven't overlooked those small practical details that you need when training and racing. To the back, the Triple Ramp Pockets are easily accessible and pre-structured for optimal capacity and stability when loaded. A flap also offers extra security, preventing items from spilling out. An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you full control of ventilation to the body and a lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth. And with fabrics offering a range of ultraviolet protection, from UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 25 to 50, this is a jersey ideal for summer racing.
Summer is for long rides, discovering new roads to ride, at home and abroad, and pursuing the goals you set back in the cold of winter. And it's here the MILLE GT Jersey C2 Drop Head is the ideal pick. It's the combination of lightweight and breathable fabrics, refined fit and technical details that keep it, and you, ahead of the pack. Made for Performance Under a hot summer sky, the lightweight breathability of BIG DUAL Tex fabric body panels maintains your cool comfort. Both breathable and quick-wicking, it deals quickly with sweat build-up, leaving you always feeling fresh. For the sleeves, Assos uses their Push-Pull textile. This warp-knit fabric provides gentle compression and outstanding moisture management too, elevating comfort on any bike ride you're on. Both body and sleeves also offer sun protection with each giving UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+. Flap-Free Fit Performance and comfort are harmonised with Assos' regularFit. While not as tight as their RaceFit, it still features careful body-mapping of seams and panels, giving you a streamlined fit that is smooth, flexible and comfortable. While flapping of fabric is kept to a minimum, you can still move easily and it won't penalise you for a few extra calories ingested at the cafe stop. Whether you’re lining up for a summer race series, enjoying a day-long training ride into the mountains or a gentle social spin to catch a morning coffee, the MILLE GT Jersey C2 Drop Head gets you there in style and comfort.
Leg warmers may seem a simple product, but not all leg warmers are created equal. The GT Spring Fall Leg Warmers C2 take a step up in comfort and performance thanks to their combination of anatomic design and a lightly compressive material that allows optimal pedalling flexibility as well as insulation. The RX EVO textile used in their construction feels luxuriously soft against the skin and the brushed inner also does a brilliant job of trapping warmth. It's breathable too, ensuring harder efforts don't level you soaked in sweat. With a single-seam and sculpted patterning, the fit is tuned for irritation-free pedalling. The anatomic fit sees curved tops to the warmers adding warmth to the outer thigh while further reinforcing the wrinkle-free fit. Raw-cut hems also negate the need for silicone grippers, giving a smooth, unobtrusive fit with your cycling shorts.
Part of the ASSOS Layering System, the Skinfoil Summer NS (No-Sleeves) Base Layer weighs barely anything so you’ll hardly know it’s there. And with the Circular Seamless construction its brilliantly comfortable against the skin too, with no side seams to cause irritation. Then we come to moisture management, and here it's brilliant too. The blend of carbon and polypropylene provide a major step up in both breathability and sweat-wicking performance compared to previous generation base layers. And with anti-bacterial properties also present, it's a base layer that leaves you drier and fresher, even during the hottest and sweatiest of bike rides. To get the best out of your performance in the heat, it's the ideal start.
The Women's Triator SS Cycling Speedsuit has been engineered to keep you comfortable when taking on the challenges of medium to long-distance triathlon training and racing. Using their expertise and knowledge from the development of the road-cycling NS Summer Speedsuit, this tri-specific version gets the added benefit of ice pockets. These lay-flat pockets along the upper back and chest make space for ice packs, keeping you cooler during a scorching hot Ironman triathlon. Fabric Technology Comfort and muscle support comes by the way of proven Assos textiles from their road-racing kit. To the upper body, ultralight and stretchy Cube material has a 3D structure that creates both a streamlined finish and a material that dries exceptionally fast too. Meanwhile, the lower section is made from Type.701kompressor textile. This highly compressive material provides support of your large muscle groups, helping push back fatigue, promote blood flow and maintaining excellent flexibility when swimming, cycling and running. Fit and Feel Comfort is paramount when distances are long and endurance tested to the limit. The carefully tailored V-shaped Falken Cut design removes restrictions around the upper body, offering flexibility and comfort across all three tri disciplines. Raw cut ends to the arms and legs also give a remarkably smooth and aero finish while a 3/4 front zipper keeps you in control of temperature regulation. A modified 2-panel ergoBox design with frictionless Butterfly Pattern make up the lower half, built around the streamlined Triator Insert. Women's Traitor Insert A triathlon-specific insert, the Women's Triator uses 4mm and 6mm memory foam, striking a perfect balance between support and low-volume flexibility. 3D waffle, 3-layer perforated foam removes bulk and increases breathability. Assos' goldenGate also features. This patented technology allows for a more natural, 3-dimensional movement of the pad, enhancing comfort and eliminating irritation.
In order to offer optimal wet-weather protection for your legs, the MILLE GT Thermo Rain Shell Pants use Assos' renowned windproof-waterproof NEOS Ultra. This 2-layer softshell makes use of a PU bonded membrane, providing windproof-waterproof protection. Breathability is also excellent, preventing clamminess when you're turning up the effort levels. A slightly thicker 3-layer NEOS Mild is used for the lower third of the pants, enhancing protection from cold and wet road spray. Fit to Ride To give you a smooth and comfortable fit at the waist, Assos have borrowed the smooth-wrap AZPtech waist design as found on their off-road TRAIL pants. This removes the bulk of fasteners while a silicone gripper also ensures a firm but flexible fit minus any pressure or pinching. It's also slightly taller to the back for added protection and a seamless fit with your under-layers. Hems are also raw-cut for a smooth, pressure-free fit while the knicker-length construction works well with tall rainproof overshoes. Reflective bands circling the lower leg also keep you more visible as light levels fade. Layer up with the MILLE GT Thermo Rain Shell Pants and enjoy protection from rain, road spray, biting winds and falling temperatures.
Created for the demands of road riding, and whether that's sprinting for the win, speeding down a fast descent or mixing it up in the peloton, the Assos MET Trenta (MIPS) Jingo RS Cycle Helmet is designed to give outstanding comfort on the bike and reliable protection in the event of a crash. The Assos MET Trenta (MIPS) Jingo RS Helmet uses an EPS foam liner, offering excellent shock-absorbing performance, and providing head protection should you be unfortunate enough to bang your head. This is covered by a tough polycarbonate shell, increasing toughness and long-term durability. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Trenta also makes use of Mips technology. The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. Shop All MIPS Helmets Click Here Feel the Speed While safety is the primary concern, aerodynamic performance has in no way been compromised. The Trenta's tube-shaped tail and internal channelling mean that you benefit from up to 7% less drag than a more traditional road helmet. This is most effective when you're riding in a bunch so when it's time to attack, you'll be the freshest in the bunch. Whilst some aerodynamic designs can feel more closed in, the Trenta has been engineered to keep you cool. Only 30% of the helmet actually touches the head and the front NACA vent and rear deflectors channel air over the head for refreshing airflow when riding. Safe-T Orbital The Trenta also features MET's most adjustable fit system yet. The Safe-T Orbital allows two-step occipital adjustment, four-step vertical adjustment, and a micrometrical dial, all allowing you to fine-tune the fit and ensure your helmet remains secure. Inside, the Air-mesh pads wick away sweat, preventing sweat from running down and stinging the eyes. They're washable too, letting you freshen them up after particularly hot and sweaty rides.
The Women's Chamois cream rehydrates and replenishes the skin in the sensitive chamois area, leading to a reduced chance of rubbing and inflammation from many hours spent in the saddle. By eliminating the risk of saddle sores and discomfort while road riding, mountain biking or gravel grinding, the Assos cream ensures that at least one comfort factor won’t suffer whilst riding — the other comfort elements of pace and power in your hands. Regardless of the intensity, time of day, weather forecast or altitude of your route, this female cycling cream is a must-use. For the best results the Assos Women's Chamois Cream is best applied as a light layer directly to the skin where your chamois sits or alternatively onto the chamois itself. It works superbly with any ASSOS bib shorts and ASSOS inserts. Directions for Use Apply directly to the skin (avoid intimate areas) before each ride. You should also apply a thin layer of creme to the pad of your shorts after every wash, this helps to maintain suppleness, elasticity and anti-microbial properties.
