Assos Women's UMA GT Bib Shorts C2 Bib Shorts
  • £125.00

Assos' simple aim for their Women's UMA GT Bib Shorts C2 was to give you shorts you can rely upon for any style, length and intensity of bike ride. Using trickle-down technology from their premium race shorts, you'll have the support of lightly compressive fabrics, an X-Frame bib design that stabilises the seat pad perfectly in place and an updated AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) that gives a beautiful fit as you pedal.  Endurance Fit and Feel With a focus on long training rides and endurance events, but also everyday cycling comfort, Assos chose to use their Type.429 fabric for the UMA GTs. This highly functional fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you slip through the air with ease. It's also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your rides get longer, taking full advantage of the longer days of summer. Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit  Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit is based upon Assos' race models but it's more accommodating of different shapes and sizes. At the waist, the more forgiving zeroPressure design also keeps the shorts beautifully in place while allowing optimal flexibility for deep breathing and low riding positions.  The comfort also extends to the leg grippers. 4.5mm in depth and using LYCRA® with woven silicone grip, they provide a secure non-bulge fit while giving a smooth and uninterrupted transition from shorts to skin. Women's UMA GT C2 Insert With 9mm of cushioning and the 'floating' design of goldenGate location to move the pad with your body not against you, the Women's UMA GT C2 pad is intensely comfortable, supportive and shock-absorbing. Compressive foam layers provide endurance-focused support on the saddle. The 3D Waffle design uses a three-layer construction, with perforated foams to enhance breathability and airflow. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation while the odour-resistant top sheet maintains freshness.

Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA Bib Shorts
  • £255.00
  • RRP £260.00
  • Saving you £2

The Best Got Better The RSR S9 bib shorts set a new standard for bib short performance. But there's always room for improvement. The EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA have improvements to both stretch and support, with targetted compression where it's needed most, reduced pressure in sensitive areas and dialled in aerodynamics to maximise your fitness. Faster-drying fabrics also limit perspiration’s ability to add weight from soaking into the textile. A combination of woven Type.701kompressor textile and Ossidia inserts give the shorts a near frictionless fit. Not only that, the ultrathin yarns are extremely elastic, allowing for superb muscle compression and flexibility, ensuring pedalling has never felt easier.  Carbon Xbib Construction The A-frame suspension design of the Carbon Xbib limits the vertical stretch to the back of the shorts. This provides a secure and stable position of the S9 seat pad at all times. The Dual-face Carbon material is now quicker drying, an improvement upon the previous single-sided design.  Built for Speed As you'd expect, the RSR S9 TARGA shorts are engineered with Assos RacingFit. This second-skin fit maximises your speed while also optimising flexibility and comfort. The leg length is also extended when compared to the Equip RS and Mille GT lines.  Smooth aerodynamics extends to the leg grippers. The Assos skinGrip cuffs give compressive support across the thighs, with silicone grippers to provide a secure non-slip fit. Minimal transitional ridges between skin and shorts keep airflow smooth.  A-Lock Engineering The A-Lock system combines Assos' rollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panel to give you shorts that fit beautifully no matter what. Whether it's high-intensity bursts of speed or long endurance efforts, this engineered design maintains superb stability as you shift weight in and out of the saddle.  Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wraps the legs and back to create the ergoBox structure. This holds the S9 insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort throughout your pedal stroke and when you're shifting weight on the saddle. S9 Sundeck Insert Taking their already super-comfortable S9 insert, Assos have made improvements to make it lighter, cooler and minimise its footprint, all to enhance comfort still further.  The first improvement is what Assos call the Sundeck Superlight. This is a luxuriously soft front panel that increases airflow while eliminating pressure in this most sensitive area. Then comes Assos' whirlKrater. Again this is all about airflow, with copious perforations added throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow. What hasn't changed is the odour-resistant top sheet for all-day freshness. You also retain the benefits of 9mm shock-absorbing foam, taking the buzz out of rougher roads. 3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation. And Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. Lastly, there's the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to 'float' allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.

Assos Cap Caps
  • £22.00

Made to be both comfortable and stylish, the Assos Cycling Cap can be used year-round thanks to its highly functional design. While traditionally caps have been made in cotton, this cap does away with that and replaces it with functional fabrics that actively wick away sweat. A forehead lining is particularly good at drawing sweat away from the skin. Meanwhile, mesh zones allow for vastly increased airflow and breathability when compared to the old cotton caps.  However, not everything traditional has been ditched. The classic look of a contrast centre stripe remains, ensuring style points are gained at the cafe stop. The centre and side panels also offer a great fit and allow for fewer seams, removing bulk and making for greater comfort under your cycle helmet.

Assos Spring Fall Knee Warmers Knee Warmers
  • £40.00
  • RRP £42.00
  • Saving you £5

Chilly autumn and spring days, or even an early start during summer, can soon leave the knees feeling exposed and stiff. But thanks to the lightly insulated Spring Fall Knee Warmers you can add warmth to this vulnerable joint and keep muscles feeling supple and strong. Dealing quickly with sweat is just as vital for comfort too. And here too the knee warmers excel. The aggressive moisture-wicking fabric deals rapidly with any sweat you generate, preventing it from pooling on the skin and causing irritation. Not only are they great for lightweight insulation, but the warmers also provide protection against the sun's rays during a sunny day of cycling. Meanwhile, Assos' Circular Seamless technology virtually eliminates the bunching normally associated with knee warmers, making them barely noticeable once you pull them on.

Assos GT Gloves C2 Gloves
  • £45.00

For their GT Gloves C2, Assos focused on cooling, durability, and increased comfort - vital priorities for those hot days of summer where you're ticking off bigger distances. At the same time, the GTs also come in some 25% lighter than previous Assos summer gloves - making them less noticeable to wear too.  When it comes to breathability and cooling, the GT Gloves excel thanks to the use of a lightweight open-mesh back. With less moisture lingering on the skin, this reduces the chance of internal friction and at the same time ensures a sweat-free grip of the hoods. The streamlined slip-on construction also removes unnecessary bulk from the wrist, improving comfort and breathability.   Over the course of a long ride, the VibeProof Palm provides extra comfort. Carefully positioned at pressure points on the palm, the padding soaks up the chatter from rougher road surfaces, improving both comfort and control. The microfibre palm itself also gives a reassuring grip and offers excellent durability.  For long and hot summer endurance rides, the GT Gloves C2 are a natural choice.

  • £73.50
  • RRP £105.00

Times have moved on when mountain bike clothing was overly baggy and rather ill-fitting. The TRAIL Cargo Shorts T3 are instead designed to eliminate excess bulk and yet maintain awesome freedom of movement, just what's needed when you're moving and reacting to ever-changing terrain.

The trim fit also prevents snagging on the saddle, leaving you free to move around the bike with ease.

Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 Bib Shorts
  • £105.00
  • RRP £175.00
  • Saving you £40

Exceed Expectations Racing at the highest level puts extreme demands on riders and their kit, what with the hours of movement, changes of weather, climbing and descending, changes of the road surface and constant in and out of the saddle accelerations. This level of performance requirements has pushed Assos' engineers to create a host of new comfort-focused features which can meet and exceed the demands of even the harshest of race conditions. The result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 featuring A-Lock engineering and rollBar bib technology.  A-Lock Engineering A-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.441 textile. This is a fabric which has exceptional compression qualities and with its silk feel is incredibly comfortable against the skin. Not only that it's quick-wicking, anti-odour and durable, the perfect fabric for performance cycling.  Float like a Butterfly The next phase of the A-Lock engineering system is significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and seat insert. Firstly the panelling, the class-leading S7 shorts used a four-panel construction, whereas the S9 now features just two. The result of using just two panels is a reduction in seams leading to less weight and more comfort. Those two panels are then engineered into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts. rollBar Bib Design The bib straps also get completely redesigned, with a brand new rollBar system for unrivalled support of the lower shorts section. The rollBar system acts just like an anti-sway bar in a car, the straps stabilising and securing the seat insert in place as you move. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle.  The bib straps themselves are a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat - the result is extremely lightweight straps you will barely notice.    S9 Insert At the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you're guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible.  In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels. Their finest fitting and most comfortable shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.
