The core of Assos’s Racing Series, a streamlined range of cycling gear engineered to outperform during racing events, the Men’s Equipe R Bib Shorts S11 blend high performance with outstanding comfort and breathability. These bib shorts are crafted with a Type.911 blend of polyamide and elastane for a smooth, hardwearing fabric that provides stabilising compression, is water repellent and dries quickly for enhanced comfort during long stints, with odorControl for everyday freshness and UPF 50+ protection against the sun on bright days.

Boasting Assos’s racingFit that has been designed to fit like a second-skin with micro-adjusted shaped to wrap the large muscles in compressive support, plus a zeroPressure waist to sit comfortably and reduce pressure during aggressive riding positions, the Equipe R Bib Shorts offer further comfort when in the saddle with a 3D Waffle 3-layer foam insert in a breathable 9mm racing platform that has thermo-formed shaping to reduce ridges and irritation. The goldenGate 2.0 free-floating construction allows this insert to move with your body rather than against it, with newly added cut-outs on the wings to reduce friction throughout each pedal stroke.

Gearing up at the starting line or endeavouring to beat your personal best, Assos’s Equipe R Bib Shorts S11 balance supreme support, unmatched breathability and outstanding comfort for hard and fast sprints in the saddle.

Features: 

• racingFit is a second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette designed with World Tour feedback and results
• Micro-adjusted shaping wraps the large muscles with compressive support in a standard racingFit length which is slightly longer than the regularFit
• Type.911: warp-knit fabric with a silky smooth, abrasion-resistant texture that provides stabilising compression
• Hydrophobic and dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture
• Equipped with odorControl properties and UPF 50+ protection
• zeroPressure waist: highly elastic waist construction that conforms with a second-skin fit whilst reducing pressure in aggressive riding positions
• Raw-cut edges with minimal anti-slip finishing secures the legs in place without excessive pressure or seams
• X-frame: an A-frame suspension inherited from the Equipe RS line
• The X-frame limits sag on the lower back, stabilising the insert and main body panel during high-intensity riding
• Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9 in the insert: compressive foam materials in a breathable 9mm racing platform with thermo-formed shaping to reduce ridges and irritation
• 3D Waffle: patented, 3-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight
