Shorts/Bottoms

More breathable, more compressive, more aerodynamic – the EQUIPE RSR S11 replaces the RSR SUPERLÉGER S9 as the most advanced Racing Series short in ASSOS history. The new textile wrapping the large muscle groups of the legs is our most compressive Kompressor textile to date, providing firm support to reduce the accumulated fatigue from micro-vibrations during hours of high-intensity riding. The seat and core are wrapped in the less compressive Type.911, which is the main textile of the RS S11 and R S11 bib shorts, employed here to relieve pressure on sensitive areas. The combination of compressive, ultra-elastic textiles allowed us to remove the rollBar while maintaining 360-degree stability, and the raw-cut waist eliminates restriction.The new RSR S11 insert incorporates the same low-volume, microshock-absorbing comfort and hyper cooling airflow of the RS S11 insert, but it includes additional shock-absorbing modules beneath the ischial bones, oriented for maximum effect in aggressive riding positions.

GTO marks the pinnacle of the Total Comfort MILLE GT line - spiritual successor to the iconic CENTO and Campionissimo Bib Shorts. It features the plushest, most responsive and breathable ASSOS insert to date, wrapped in our new frictionless, wrinkle-free paneling. The GTO has two leg lengths: STANDARD and LONG (+3cm vs standard). BEHIND THE PRODUCT With large-muscle support, friction, and excessive pressure remaining critical issues on long-duration rides, GTO destroys conventional bib short construction formulas. We reversed stitch lines and radically reshaped the insert to eliminate friction and genital pressure, while providing matchless muscle support with tapered, wrinkle-free leg panels that mirror your personal physique.

The critical updates to the new EQUIPE RS shorts are a new textile and a new insert. The new textile, Type.911, allowed us to completely reengineer the cut, reducing the seam count and wrinkles while micro-adjusting fit across the legs and waist. It also let us eliminate the rollBar bib strap design, because Type.911 is more elastic and more compressive than the Type.441 used on the previous generation. Rather than merely suspended from bib straps, the S11 shorts envelope the rider’s body in omnidirectional, body-mapped stability. The new RS S11 insert’s top sheet is both softer against the body and more durable for washing, and it has an improved odor control treatment while maintaining its predecessor’s cooling airflow, micro-shock damping, and low-volume, lightweight profile.

The new generation of GTV includes critical updates for comfort, from a new waist construction to a new insert – our plushest women-specific model. The waist incorporates a lighter textile with more body-wrapping elasticity, adding a supportive fit without restriction across all riding positions. The new insert features two layers of shock-absorbing foam, with targeted support under the ischial bones. Two additional cut-ins reduce bulk at the front of the insert, letting it conform to the body throughout the pedal stroke without folding or impediment. The innovative bisiClick system uses two magnetic closures to facilitate long-distance rides with convenient bib strap release.

Of the S11 changes, the addition of the rollBar suspension system, adapted from the Racing Series S9, is the most impactful. The new construction increases vertical stabilization and allows a less restrictive waist construction. Coverage across the stomach and lower back also increased, providing more supportive, breathable comfort around the waist while accommodating aggressive riding positions. The butterfly-wrap paneling returns for S11, enveloping your muscles in micro-adjusted, fatigue-reducing compression that balances long-distance comfort with competitive aerodynamics. Updated for S11, the latest GTS insert radically increases cooling airflow, and the dual-layer 13mm construction adds 4mm of targeted support to the 9mm base of microshock-absorbing foam.

Mountain bikers need clothing solutions too, so we set about extending our premium, mountain bike-specific OFFROAD collection. Our apparel engineering team were tasked with the challenge of creating a breathable yet durable short that has signature ASSOS performance yet doesn’t break the bank. The result of their hard work is these XC-specific bib shorts, for which we just can’t find enough superlatives. Employing the ripstop, high abrasion resistant and breathable dyneRope fabric (which is stronger than steel), these shorts have been put through their paces by the BMC MTB Racing Team’s best riders. And with such stringent world class testers giving their approval, it’s clear that the pedigree of these shorts has already been confirmed. The result is a tough, lightweight and highly breathable pair of shorts that are perfect for the toughest XC trails. According to the team, the dyneRope on the outside of the legs wicks sweat like no other, delivering a seriously world-class performance that saw the riders sweep the team standings at the 2017 UCI MTB World Cup series. But no matter how hard you’re pushing while riding off-road, there’s always a need for superior ASSOS comfort in the saddle so we’ve opted for our opulent MTB-specific insert. Placed a little further forward than its road counterpart, it is tuned for the steepest climbs and sickest flow trails with memory foam. From the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup to your home trails, it’s time to hit the dirt.

Introducing the next generation of MILLE bib shorts—building on the iconic GT Total Comfort formula with a double-layer insert and more responsive, compressive textile. Why we made it GTS marks the introduction of the second generation of MILLE—an all-new bib short that builds on the iconic GT shorts’ Total Comfort formula with its plush double-layer insert, fatigue-reducing textile, and revamped fit. We’ve engineered it for committed riders looking for added comfort during training to everyday riders seeking maximum long-distance support.

A new addition to the DYORA Racing Series, the R S11 combines race-tuned compression and aircooling breathability with a simpler construction than advanced models like the RSV S11. The raw-cut cuffs, low-volume silicone grip, and lightweight, compressive Type.911 textile are hallmarks of premium ASSOS racing technology, but the bib straps have been simplified for pure racing utility. The DYORA R S11 Insert is a race-tuned platform with updated shaping to better support aggressive riding positions. Despite the redesign, the goldenGate 2.0 construction returns, ensuring the insert moves with you to eliminate friction during high-intensity riding.

The next generation in committed riders' bib shorts of choice, defined by its frictionless waist, refined air-cooling insert, and muscle-wrapping textile. We took this generational redesign as an opportunity to make the MILLE GT better at the things we loved about its predecessor, including our premium X-frame suspension carriage, a refined comfort waist fit, and a reduction in seams and weight (28% and 5g, respectively). The insert also got some attention, inheriting the increased ventilation of our GTS/GTO models and receiving 3mm of additional cushioning. We also updated the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex to the Sugar Blue colorway. - 80%PA 20%EA

We wanted an all-inclusive solution for daily riding. That’s simple in concept; it’s more complicated in the execution. To meet our expectations, we built the premier UMA GT on a platform of trickledown tech, including an updated AEPD fit profile and bib suspension infrastructure. We also updated the insert, reducing the footprint, boosting cooling, and adding an aesthetic touch with the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex in Sugar Blue.

A breathable, lightly insulated half knicker engineered for spring/fall conditions when tights are too warm and shorts are too cool. We engineered these knickers for fall and spring rides where knee coverage and a touch of insulation are just the ticket, as they feature a blend of ultrasoft and insulating fabrics, along with our proven female-specific insert and signature regularFit. RX EVO makes up the majority of the paneling. This brushed warp-knit fabric provides exceptional comfort, wicks moisture, adds high levels of insulation, and remains extremely flexible. The waist benefits from ultrasoft warp-knit Aerofit, which is knitted with an open structure for maximum ventilation and featuring high elasticity plus built-in odorControl. The knickers' fabric technology ensures that the fronts of your legs stay shielded from biting winds and cold air, while the backs benefit from added breathability. Its fold-over front panel design at the waist creates a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric.

A bib-free training and endurance cycling short that's at home on the road or aboard the indoor trainer. Bibs aren't for everyone, but their absence compounds the difficulty of dialing the perfect ride-tuned fit. The bib-free Zero-Pressure waist embodies our C2 AEPD click-fit ethos with a secure hold on the sides and back, and a panel insert on the front stretches to accommodate aggressive positioning on the bike and deep breathing during hard efforts. The updated insert inherited increased ventilation from our premium models, and 3mm of additional thickness increase long-ride comfort. - 80%PA 20%EA
