Assos has once again pushed the boundaries of cycling comfort and performance with the creation of their MILLE GT Summer Cycling Bib Shorts c2 (GTS). Engineered to move and respond to your body movement. 360-degree stabilization. Multi-layer cushioning. An evolution in comfort-driven function for your longest, toughest rides. Ossidia textile - Muscle-wrapping Compression When you're at your limits, pushing fitness and endurance to new levels, the OSSIDIA textile provides smooth compression to push back fatigue and fight screaming muscles. Made from ultrathin, highly elastic yarns, Ossidia fits just like a second skin, delivering incredible comfort and flexibility. UPF 50+ also protect you from the sun. GTS Bib Straps - Seamless Integration When you're riding the GTS bib straps provide firm support for the main body of the shorts but offer a barely-there feel against your body. Super-flexible and wide, the seamless straps offer a body-hugging fit that moves with you while maintaining the ideal position for optimal stability and support. A-Lock Engineering - Stability Redefined The race-proven A-Lock Engineering construction is deployed to give the shorts the perfect fit as you jump in and out of the saddle. The bib straps lock the lower part of the shorts and seat pad in place, ensuring unrivalled levels of stability, support and performance. Mille GTS C2 Summer Seat Insert Created to provide support and comfort for your longest rides, the Mille GTS C2 features a 2-layer, dual-density memory foam construction. This provides support and absorbs both micro-vibrations and cushion you against large shocks too. Assos' famous 3D waffle top sheet provides exceptional next-to-skin comfort and superb sit-bone support. kraterCooler: System of small holes in the front of the insert that increases airflow so that your sensitive areas are kept cooler. goldenGate: A patented tech feature that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.
The S9 platform of cycling shorts have proved themselves to be at the cutting edge of cycling comfort and performance for even the most demanding of riders. And these EQUIPE RS Summer Bib Shorts S9 Werksteam continue to offer the very same incredible muscles support and flexibility as you dance on the pedals. Unrivalled stability always keeps the seat pads in the right place too. And they’re finished with stealthy Assos Werksteam graphics. A-Lock Engineering A-Lock engineering is all about creating shorts with incredible stability and a seat insert that is always perfectly positioned. 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 part of the above A-Lock engineering system is a significant advance in the panel and construction design. While the class-leading S7 shorts used a four-panel construction, the S9 uses just two. The result of using just the two panels is a reduction in seams leading to less weight and even more comfort. The 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 rollBar bib strap system provides unrivalled support of the lower section of the shorts. It 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 RS Equipe Seat Pad The RS Equipe Seat Pad delivers the comfort you need to concentrate on your performance. A super-soft antibacterial microfibre offers a luxurious feel against the skin while kraterCooler holes ensure excellent ventilation, preventing sweat build-up and promoting freshness. A combination of 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam and superAir microShock memory foam core work together to give support to your sit bones and quick adaption to your body position whenever you shift weight or move in and out of the saddle.
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.
While it may seem counter-intuitive to wear a headband when it’s hot, the ultralight ASSOSOIRES Summer Headband makes perfect sense. Made from functional fibres, it deals with perspiration very efficiently, drawing it away from your skin so as to leave you dry and comfortable when the heat is on.
Come the warmth of summer, you may still prefer some extra length in your cycling legwear. The Women’s UMA GT Summer Half Knickers C2 are just the ticket, delivering superb comfort in warmer weather. Flexible and Lightweight Comfort In order to give you tights that are highly flexible and deal with perspiration quickly, Assos turn to their technical Type.429 textile. Not only quick-wicking and breathable, but it also offers excellent muscle compression and elasticity for unrestricted pedalling. Panels of Tech Sheen Mesh also wrap the legs down to the upper calves in compressive breathability. Shaped for Comfort The women’s specific fit has been designed to offer comfort and flexibility on the bike. The Assos regularFit strikes the perfect balance between streamlined performance and all-day comfort. Ultralight leg grippers see elastic woven through the leg bands, creating a secure hold minus restriction. Around the waist and hips, Assos have created their hipClick design. This combines elastic and mesh layers that give you excellent comfort and full coverage. The design also eliminates pressure and restriction while stabilising the knickers’ body panels and locks the seat insert in place. UMA GT C2 Seat Pad The women’s specific UMA GT C2 Seat Pad offers shock-absorbing support when you’re on the saddle. 9mm of compressive foam layers keep you comfortable on endurance rides, easing pressure across the sit bones. Thermoformed shaping also reduces irritation. You’ll also benefit from the 3D Waffle design. This 3-layer perforated foam offers increased breathability and reduced weight too. Lastly, the goldenGate stitching pattern holds the insert at the front and the back but allows it to float too, moving with your body rather than against it.
In order to extract the very best performance from yourself, you’ll want the best kit. And when it comes to slippery cycling jerseys, the EQUIPE RS Summer Jersey Prof Edition can certainly rank up amongst the best. The jersey has had every detail scrutinised and examined to optimise both fit and performance, benefiting you when it comes riding hard and fast in training and racing. The aeroFit is extremely close-fitting, and while it may feel restrictive off the bike, it really comes into its own when the pressure is on and you're pushing the power through the pedals. Functional Fabrics After the fit, we come to functional fabrics. First comes the technical miniCheck Tex fabric. This 3D knit fabric is extremely elastic to give you the close aero fit needed to go fast without wasting your hard-earned watts. But not just that, it's highly breathable too, ensuring you don't get overwhelmed with sweat when your race and training efforts intensify. Meanwhile, 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. Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw bonded sleeves, yoke and pockets ensure smooth transitions while remaining incredibly flexible. Practicality Built-in While the Equipe RS is, of course, speed-focused, Assos haven't overlooked more practical requirements. An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you control of ventilation, while the triple ramp pocket design allows very easy access to all your essentials. A lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth and it's more durable than previous versions. Proven time again in the frenetic world of the pro peloton, the Assos EQUIPE RS Summer Jersey Prof Edition has certainly made its mark on the World Tour. And now you can enjoy the same benefits, minus team logos but with an added subtle but stylish fade print.
