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.

When you're launching yourself down steep rocky chutes, whipping it over huge gap jumps, ripping over rooty singletrack and generally pushing and progressing with your mountain bike skills, it's a given that at some point you'll crash. And when that happens you'll be glad of the protection of the MTB 4.0 Helmet. Head protection comes by way of a host of features. It starts with the DH certified Lightweight Polymer Compound Shell. This absorbs the knocks and scrapes you'd expect of regular mountain biking. This tough and durable covers in-moulded EPS + EPO impact foam. In the event of a crash, this combination does a brilliant job of soaking up and dissipating the harmful forces associated with head impacts. The visor is also tuned for safety. It's designed to breakaway in the event of a crash, reducing rotational forces on the head and neck. Talking of the neck, this helmet is neck brace compatible. 360 ̊ Turbine Technology The 360 ̊ Turbine Technology is focused on reducing the damaging effects of a crash on your brain. It works via 360 ̊moving discs, all made from an energy-absorbing material. These impart a reduction of rotational acceleration to the head and brain by up to 40%. The system also improves the absorption of impact energy - it reduces peak brain acceleration by up to 30% at the impact speeds associated with concussion. Sweat-Busting Ventilation When you're taking on challenging mountain bike trails and downhill races it's not just the safety features that will impress. Ventilation is also excellent. A total of 23 vents and inner air channels creates highly effective cooling airflow over your head. And for uphill pedals or when you want a boost to ventilation, the mouthpiece is also removable. Getting sweaty is pretty inevitable though. And the moisture-wicking Dri-Lex® liner helps in this regard, keeping sweat away as you warm up. Being anti-dour and washable too, you'll enjoy freshness every ride. A Fidlock magnetic closure system makes securing the 4.0 super easy too.

The synthetic leather upper is also highly durable and features toe and heel reinforced zones to protect against the inevitable wear and tear of winter mountain biking. BOA® L6 Dial Closure In order to ensure a secure fit and all-weather cycling comfort, the 702s make use of a single BOA® L6 dial covered by a weatherproof wrap-over cover. Micro adjustment of the fit is made quick and easy via a turn of the dial. Whether tightening up for a harder effort or loosening to boost comfort as you wind down, you can get the fit just right to suit your needs. And at the end of a ride, simply pull up the dial for a quick release of the laces – simple even with colder hands. Cross Country Sole Whether on or off the bike, the XC sole unit performs brilliantly. When you’re pushing on the pedals, with a rating of 7 out of 12 for stiffness, it offers efficient power transfer. And should the terrain call for some time hike-a-biking then the ULTREAD™ compound provides a tenacious degree of grip over any terrain. Cleat Guidance These MTB shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use cleats with SPD standard (2-bolt standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.
