The new Assos S9 Equipe RS bib short is made for durability, dependability, and stability. Assos uses their A-LOCK System which is the framework of the stabilization of the shorts insert. The Type.441 fabric used to create this garment is compressive without becoming overbearing. It fits like a comfortable second skin and is as durable as it gets. The square panel construction adds to that stability, framing the insert in the back. The insert is also secured through a bib-strap bracing design. The straps extend down to the chamois rather than stopping at the waist. This keeps the insert in its proper place when cornering or pedaling out of the saddle.
The durability of this garment did not come at the expense of the rider’s comfort. Assos spent six years to develop the materials used in this bib short to find this combination of comfort and performance. The side panel is completely free of any stitching which keeps you comfortable and gives your muscles the proper compression. The S9 also features a 3D waffle-shape design composition which increases the level of airflow and cooling available. Front and rear chamois are sewn into place as the middle is free to respond to the natural movements of your body.
