equipe rs bib shorts s11

The next generation of Assos' flagship WorldTour bib shorts, reengineered with lower weight, increased cooling breathability, and more comfortable, body-wrapping compression from waist to raw-cut leg openings.BEHIND THE PRODUCTThe 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 let the designers eliminate the rollBar bib strap design, because Type.911 is more elastic and more compressive than the Type.411 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 lowvolume, lightweight profile.WHEN/HOW TO USE ITFor the RS Summer 1/3 system, pair with the EQUIPE RS Jersey S11 for high-intensity riding in hot conditions.FINER DETAILSFEATURED FABRICSType.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.CONSTRUCTION/FITThe racingFit is a second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette designed with WorldTour feedback and proven with WorldTour results. Compressive textiles, micro-adjusted shaping, and low-bulk, raw-cut hems and cuffs identify racingFit as the definitive speed series.ENGINEERING- 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 griper: Grip applied only across the back of the rawcut 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.- X-Frame: “An A-frame suspension that limits sag on the lower back, stabilizing the insert and main body panel during highintensity riding. Anchored across the shoulders by our lightest bib straps.
