There comes a point in the year when the seasons begin to transition and summer shorts are no longer warm enough and yet pulling on full winter tights isn't quite necessary. Enter the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 - cosy shorts for training and racing in the cooler conditions of autumn and spring. Warmth and Breathability in Harmony The thigh panels are made from Assos' heavyweight brushed-back Osmos Heavy material - super-soft against the skin, insulating and yet highly breathable, it ensures a perfect temperature whether it's a hard early-season race effort or a steady autumnal spin. The warp-knit outer provides support and compression of the muscles, encouraging circulation to the legs, vital to keep body warmth high. To the front, around your more sensitive areas, you'll also be happy to find windproof Sphere Ultra textile in a double-layer, locking out icy blasts while still maintaining breathability for comfort. Race Proven Comfort Keeping 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. Wear them on their own or pair up with knee and leg warmers, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 will see you comfortably through the cooler months of your cycling year.
The Assos Women’s TRAIL Spring/Fall Jacket protects your torso and shoulders from the cool spring and autumn air, using RX TECH Melange – an all-new, ultra-soft material, brushed on the inside to keep you warm and insulated as you speed down the mountainside. Keeping you dry, the breathable back-panel pulls moisture from the layers below, using the same material and technology from the Assos TRAIL jersey range. Your arms will appreciate the extra insulation from the lightly brushed RX fabric inside the sleeves and, the dyneRope covered elbows will protect your arms from abrasion. The double-slider zip provides the option to ventilate from the top or bottom, while the inside pocket is the perfect place for keys and other valuables. With temperature changes often noticeable between the top and bottom of the trail, the Assos Women's TRAIL Spring/Fall Jacket is essential for your spring and autumn mountain bike kit bag.
Extensive riding and testing in spring and autumn led Assos to create the ASSOSOIRES Spring Fall Socks, marrying the lightweight comfort of your favourite summer socks with a touch of insulation to fend off cooler temperatures. To enhance moisture transfer the socks feature a unique hexagonal and square knit, it quickly wicks moisture through the yarns to the outer surface, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your shoes. The seamless construction removes any irritation, a ribbed arch provides enhanced support across the foot and a reflective band up the back keeps you safe and seen in lower light conditions. With the spring/fall yellow climaCode you'll also know which socks to grab from your sock drawer.
In the cooler air of spring and autumn, the front of the Assos TRAIL Spring/Fall Men's Jacket protects your body and shoulders with an all-new, ultra-soft material called RX TECH Melange. Brushed on the inside, it provides just the right level of insulation to keep you warm as you swoop and roll down free-flowing singletrack. Featuring the same textile technology as the Assos TRAIL jerseys, the light and flexible back-panel material adds breathability and pulls moisture away from the layers below. Inside, the sleeves feature a lightly brushed RX fabric for a touch of extra insulation. They also feature abrasion-resistant dyneRope - fifteen times stronger than steel, this fibre is blended with a black polyethene and is strategically placed to protect exposed areas. It covers the elbows for added protection against scratching, pulling and abrasion from trailside obstacles. The double-slider zip helps you regulate your ventilation from top or bottom and, the inside pocket is the perfect place for keys and other valuables. Assos' trailFit keeps the cut slim and trim so you're not slowed down but it still offers the stretch and flexibility you need to hit berms, kickers and rocky, rooty sections with unhindered freedom of movement and brimming with confidence.
The Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is brilliant for cool and breezy days on the bike and, should the conditions turn to damp and drizzly, it's water-resistant too. A 3-layer softshell, with a NOES MILD membrane, provides complete protection from cold winds, rain showers, road-spray and plunging temperatures – all without sacrificing breathability. On the tops of the arm, a brushed bi-stretch RX material adds insulation, while the under arms and back-panel boost breathability with Type.157 – a breathable, circular-knit fabric. Designed with regularFit, the Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket is built for optimal riding comfort, allowing room for additional layers, should you need them. The Triple Ramp rear pockets provide plenty of space for gels and bars on longer rides and, reflective accents ensure you're more visible when the light fades. The weather is hard to predict, but the Assos Women's UMA GT Spring/Fall Jacket will ensure you’re cycling comfortably through whatever spring or autumn has in store.
Made from InfraRed Yarns with a high percentage of elastomer, the RSR Socks are designed for the rigours of both racing and hard training sessions. The elastomer provides compressive support across the foot and when blended with Lycra you'll enjoy a firm non-slip hold over the ankle and lower leg. A mesh arch support provides a boost to comfort and increases airflow to rapidly evaporate sweat leading to a cooler foot. With their seamless construction, you'll also enjoy friction-free comfort - these are socks you'll soon forget you're wearing.
To take on the demands of cool and changeable conditions Assos engineered two new textiles specifically for the task and used them for the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights. First comes RX EVO, this is used across most of the tight, it's cosy and warm and features an ECO water–repellent treatment for extra comfort in damp, misty and drizzly conditions. Meanwhile, the back of the legs features RX Light, a highly breathable material with extra flexibility, ensuring you don't overheat and you also enjoy unrestricted pedalling. With a fold-over front panel design at the waist, you'll also enjoy a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric. Speaking of flexibility, the Women's UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights have a lightly compressive fit and are cut with Assos' regularFit meaning they're performance orientated but not as tight as a pure race-bred garment. The high degree of stretch means the tights flex with your pedal stroke and the tailoring ensures you enjoy complete support and comfort of the upper leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion. Meanwhile, when you're on the saddle, support is provided by the women's specific UMA S7 EVO pad, it features 8mm of memory foam, 3DWaffle, a patented, three-layer perforated foam and goldenGate technology to deliver exceptional comfort on any ride, long or short. Too mild for winter tights but too cold for shorts? It's here that the UMA GT Spring Fall Half Tights come into their own, balancing warmth, breathability and weather protection for those days when you're just not sure what spring or autumn cycling days have in store.

Assos' design team spent countless hours riding, testing and refining patterns and materials for their Trail FF Gloves. The extensive testing led them to a design that is pre-shaped, the 3D structure mimicking the anatomical shape of the hands when gripping handlebars. This carefully engineered design provides the right level of support where you need it and reduces bulk where you don't. The palm makes use of a two-layer construction, the first layer is a durable 3D mesh to which a light perforated padding is added at the upper sections, plus across the thumb where body weight is often focused. To boost durability, the fingers benefit from a double layer of material and silicone on the braking fingers gives firm control of the levers. Lastly, a flexible cuff provides a sleek and comfortable fit while minimising weight.
