Description
The Assos Men's Equipe RS Bib Shorts S11 "SCHTRADIVARI" are next generation of flagship WorldTour bib shorts, re-engineered with lower weight, increased cooling breathability, and more comfortable, body-wrapping compression from waist to raw-cut leg openings. Available in a standard or long leg length.
The critical updates to the new EQUIPE RS shorts are a new textile and a new insert. The new textile, Type.911, allowed Assos to completely reengineer the cut, reducing the seam count and wrinkles while micro-adjusting fit across the legs and waist. It also eliminated the rollBar bib strap design, because Type.911 is more elastic and more compressive than the previous generation.
Rather than merely suspended from bib straps, the S11 shorts envelop 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.
Features:
- Type.911 is a new warp-knit textile composed for the SCHTRADIVARI. Its silky smooth, abrasion-resistant texture provides stabilizing compression in a deeper, fuller black than the previous model. It also dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture, and is equipped with UPF 50+ protection and odor control.
- cranKio Tec: Reduces wrinkling across the front of the hips during the pedal stroke to eliminate movement and friction between the textile and the rider.
- INject leg gripper: Grip applied only across the back of the raw-cut leg opening, reducing friction and weight while protecting the gripping portion from sun damage.
- Soft Compression Module: Provides body-enveloping, omnidirectional compression and stability with a waist construction that eliminates restriction in aggressive riding positions.
- Mineral Tec Surface: A soft, ultrasmooth coversheet that reduces friction and irritation while promoting comfort with quick-drying properties and permanent odorControl.
- Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9: Compressive foam materials in a single-layer 9mm racing platform that minimizes volume and weight. Thermoformed shaping eliminates ridges and irritation.
- kraterCooler: An ultralight panel of perforated support at the front creates cooling airflow across the insert.
- whirlKrater: Perforations strategically distributed throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow instead of just a unidirectional breeze.
- goldenGate 2.0: The insert is attached at front and rear with floating sides and center, letting it move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on wings reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.
