Assos Equipe R S9 Bib Short

Assos’ Equipe R S9 Bib Short might be the entry-level product in their Race Series, but it still has an impressive array of features and an enviable heritage.

The main fabric is Type.443, which is compressive and abrasion-resistant, shaped to provide support to the leg muscles whilst pedalling. Assos’ X-Frame suspension design prevents the rear of the short from sagging and also adds stability to the pad so that it stays in the right place whether in or out of the saddle and the lightweight straps are monofilament elastic so that they dry quickly. Across the waist, the zeroPressure concept ensures excellent comfort, with the broad, elasticated area reducing any pressure across the front of the short.

Whether racing or training, the Shock-Absorb Damping Mono 9 insert provides incredible comfort, no matter how long or hot the ride. A three-layer, 3D Waffle construction improves breathability and airflow whilst the goldenGate idea only has the pad anchored at the front and rear so that it can float and move with the body through the pedal stroke.
