Each leag panel also features louvreTec darted construction, delivering a custom, compressive hold of your thighs. At the ends of the thighs, the raw-cut skinGrip finish, with minimal silicone grip, prevents your shorts from riding up while also exerting minimal pressure. A raw-cut waist also delivers a pressure-free and smooth fit. MILLE GTO C2 InsertUsing their stitch-free goldenGate technology and reversed seams, the MILLE GTO C2 Insert is honed for long-distance cycling comfort. The front features Assos' sunDeck superlight - a successor to their iconic kukuPenthouse - made using an ultrasoft foam-free textile to form a preshaped cup that both supports the male anatomy and promotes maximum ventilation.The pad also features the twin21 System made of three separate layers. Firstly an 11mm of lightweight microShock foam gives shock absorption. Next 10mm of lower-density matrix foam. This is sandwiched between the microShock and the 3D waffle outer to fully absorb micro-vibrations. The 3D waffle itself is a 3-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.Features:Materials: 53% Polyamide, 30% Polyester, 17% ElastaneWarp-knit of OSSIDIA fabric for compressive holdLOSANGA front panels - remove pressure in a sensitive arearollBar and one-piece Butterfly panel constructionGTO straps and leg panelszeroWaist raw-cut, tape-reinforced edge, for the smoothest transition between shorts and skin/base layersuperFlat X-FRAME - single section of elastic material - folded over on itself - forming a supportive X-frame that delivers limited vertical stretch in the rearskinGrip raw-cut edge with minimal silicone treatment secures the shorts in placeMILLE GTO C2 InsertStandard LengthBuy Assos Cycle Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

A spiritual successor to Assos' premium CENTO and Campionissimo shorts, the MILLE GT Cycling Bib Shorts GTO C2 are another leap forward in cycling comfort. With radical reshaping of the shorts' panels and reversed stitch lines, Assos have been able to remove areas of irritation while at the same time improving muscle support and tapered, wrinkle-free leg panels that adhere perfectly to your physique. Ossidia textile - Muscle-supporting Compression The primary textile used in their is construction is Assos' own Ossidia material. The warp-knit of OSSIDIA provides silky smooth compression along your lower back and thighs, helping push back fatigue and fight lactate-full muscles. Made from ultrathin, highly elastic yarns, Ossidia also fits just like a second skin, delivering incredible breathability and flexibility too. UPF 50+ also protect you from the sun. Meanwhile, the front panel uses LOSANGA. This material ensures there's less pressure around your sensitive areas, enhancing comfort on long days in the saddle.

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.
