Shorts/Bottoms

A lightly insulated knicker engineered for cool conditions and long-distance comfort, featuring extended knee coverage and stormproof textiles. BEHIND THE PRODUCT Ideal for those cool fall and spring rides where added knee coverage and a touch of insulation make all the difference, we crafted the Spring Fall Knickers to meet the demands of these variable conditions. The fit lines up with our regularFit design, which means they’re lightly compressive where they need to be without being as tight as our racingFit design. To underscore that aspect, we’ve pre-shaped and sewn the fabric panels to fully wrap and support the upper leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion.

Lightly insulated knickers for cool conditions and long-distance riding, with extended knee coverage and stormproof textiles. Updated with features to enhance stability, reduce seams, and improve support. We redesigned the pre-shaped panels to reduce seam count, and we also shed grams without sacrificing the light compression and long-distance comfort MILLE embodies. The Knickers are updated with our race-inspired X-Frame bib design, which stabilizes the insert and body panels throughout the pedal motion and while cornering. The new model is also updated with our MILLE GT C2 insert, which adds 2mm of plush comfort for long rides maintaining form or building base miles for the coming season. - 86%PA 14%EA

The next evolution in total comfort for winter bib tights, refined with increased insulation and a deeper, plusher insert. The new RX EVO Plus textile is the most insulating of the RX Evo family. The added insulating qualities of RX EVO Plus textile handle colder conditions than the previous model, reducing the gap to the ULTRAZ counterpart without risking overheating in all but winter's worst weather. The new material breathes well to maintain a dry, warm microclimate, and the new model is also updated with our MILLE GT C2 insert, which adds 2mm of plush comfort for long rides maintaining form or building base miles for the coming season. - 76%PA 24%EA

With the 160-gram Equipe RSR Bib Shorts S9, Assos started from scratch and re-engineered the platform as a whole—and came away with the lightest, most comfortable race-spec bib shorts to ever leave their laboratory. These bibs are made with Type 701kompressor material that delivers the perfect combination of compressive hold, durability, soft hand-feel, and the lowest weight possible. In other words, the material becomes your second skin, delivering phenomenal structural hold, breathability, and a silky smooth, uninterrupted wrap along the low back and thighs. Assos' new bracing system works together to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place. The S9 generation incorporates just two panels, with a primary “butterfly” panel fully wrapping the legs and converging in the rear to form the ergoBox structure. This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap that works in conjunction with Type 701 material for the best fit ever produced. The bib straps have also been redesigned using calibrated stretch throughout, with the rear section using a single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming an A-frame in the back. It delivers limited vertical stretch in order to add further stability. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to lay flat and wick moisture. Assos also focused on a single insert platform, which allowed the freedom to reassess what is most crucial to a streamlined, race-spec insert. They reduced the overall footprint to shed additional weight, employed superAir microShock foam with 3D waffle, incorporated the kraterCooler system to increase airflow up front, and took additional measures to anchor the insert at the rear with a patented horizontal stabilizer. The result? Total ASSOS comfort you’ve come to know and trust, stabilized more than ever.
