CLOSEOUT ITEM!! (May not be available at all locations, while supplies last)
The 2021 Assos Equipe RS S9 Bib Shorts feature A-Lock Engineering, a new bracing system comprising proprietary textiles and technologies working 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 an ergoBox structure. This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap on your legs using the Type.441 textile, developed specifically for compressive hold and silky comfort. The unique rollBar mimics a race car’s anti-sway bar by using the bib straps to stabilize the insert as your weight transfers from left to right while cornering. Each strap is sewn into the seam directly above the insert, ensuring it’s under pre-loaded tension at all times. 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 wick moisture and lay flat. The insert is made from a superAir microShock foam with 3D waffle, a kraterCooler system to increase airflow up front, and the horizontal stabilizer. The result? Signature ASSOS comfort, stabilized.
