Exceed Expectations Racing at the highest level puts extreme demands on riders and their kit, what with the hours of movement, changes of weather, climbing and descending, changes of the road surface and constant in and out of the saddle accelerations. This level of performance requirements has pushed Assos' engineers to create a host of new comfort-focused features which can meet and exceed the demands of even the harshest of race conditions. The result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 featuring A-Lock engineering and rollBar bib technology. A-Lock Engineering A-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. 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 phase of the A-Lock engineering system is significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and seat insert. Firstly the panelling, the class-leading S7 shorts used a four-panel construction, whereas the S9 now features just two. The result of using just two panels is a reduction in seams leading to less weight and more comfort. Those 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 bib straps also get completely redesigned, with a brand new rollBar system for unrivalled support of the lower shorts section. The rollBar system 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 Insert At the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you're guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels. Their finest fitting and most comfortable shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.
The MILLE GT Jersey C2 EVO is made for the efforts of endurance cycling - where comfort, smooth aerodynamics and efficient moisture management all combine to great effect over those countless hours in the saddle. Engineered Excellence The jersey has been re-engineered with new materials used to save weight and improve performance. 'Big Dual' fabric is used across the body, offering excellent breathability and quick drying times so as to prevent you from feeling damp as the kilometres tick by. Sleeves and collar use 'Speedy' fabric, an ultralight, fast-drying material that shaves 15 grams off the previous jersey weight. The collar and fit across the chest and throat have also been updated, reducing pressure and making sure nothing restricts deep breathing. Assos have also used bonded hem and zipper, lessening friction between layers and minimising rippling across the tummy while you're in a riding position. Ride Ready Essentials As you'd expect of Assos, the small details that contribute to a great jersey are all there. The pockets can be loaded up but resist sagging thanks to their supportive Sens Strong warp-knit construction. The 'Triple Ramp' pocket design also features flexible fabric panels, creating effective lids to secure the contents. Reflective detail below the pocket keeps you visible on rides that can stretch from sunrise to beyond sunset. With its regularFit, the MILLE GT Jersey C2 EVO also fits beautifully - streamlined for smooth airflow but with the space to enjoy a good cake at the coffee shop and for all-day cycling comfort.

When you're taking on ever harder trails, bigger trail features and progressing with your mountain biking, trust in your equipment is paramount. When it comes to protecting your head this is particularly vital. With iXS's Trigger FF Helmet you can be confident that should you push a bit too far beyond your capabilities you're perfectly protected. Progression will involve some hard falls so don't compromise head protection. Weight? What Weight? The first thing to notice with the Trigger FF is its lack of heft but in no way is the protection compromised. How is this achieved you may ask? Pivotal to this achievement is the patented fully in-moulded unibody construction and internal X-Frame - combined they deliver DH certified protection while keeping weight to a mind-blowingly low 595 grams for the small/medium and just 660 grams for the medium/large. Once on it's a helmet you'll soon forget about, such is its lack of bulk. X-FRAMETM Unique to iXS helmets, X-Frame provides incredible all-round protection where the shell of the helmet is directly connected to the impact-absorbing EPS material. This patented technology sees the faceguard seamlessly connected with the head EPS liner, resulting in enhanced structural strength while allowing iXS to strip away unnecessary weight and bulk plus allowing them to enhance ventilation. iXS Sweat the Details - You Do the Sweating Mountain biking is a demanding sport and getting hot and sweaty is inevitable, but the Trigger FF Helmet doesn't compromise when it comes to keeping you cool. A copious number of vents are strategically placed around the helmet to enhance airflow and when combined with integrated internal channels you'll enjoy sweat-beating air circulation. If you do go beyond the limits of tyre grip and you end up hitting the dirt hard then you can rely on the ErgoFit Ultra system to keep the Trigger FF firmly in place and with its vertical and horizontal adjustment, it gives you an easily customized fit. The Fidlock magnetic closure also makes it easy to get the FF on and off. Lastly, the 2-level visor adjustment allows you to rest goggles and adjust the visor to your preferred position.

The Livelli Short Sleeve Jersey combines three high-performance fabrics and a fit that achieves the ideal balance of smooth airflow and easy-going comfort. Starting with the fit of the jersey, this is made to accommodate the average amateur rider rather than the skinny pro.

However, you'll still enjoy a smooth and streamlined level of performance via stretch fabrics. We then come to the functional fabrics. The body is made with rapid wicking and highly breathable ProSecco Micromesh. When the temperatures are high or you’re pushing out extra watts against headwinds or hills, this will ensure you remain as sweat-free and well-ventilated as possible. Meanwhile, mesh side panels also optimise cooling airflow, so you don’t overheat. And lastly, the sleeves use Velocity Rev2 fabric, laser-cut stretch with raw-cut edges to deliver a comfortable and sleekly modern finish. Whatever your cycling ambitions this summer season, the Livelli Cycling Jersey is ideal for notching up the miles, whether that's a gentle spin to your favourite cafe or taking on a challenging sportive.
