Push the Boundaries Professional riders demand a lot from their cycling kit and in particular their bib shorts, spending hours upon hours on the saddle, facing wildly varying weather, challenging climbs and heart-racing descents plus the lung-bursting efforts of racing for the win. And it's these demands that the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 have been engineered to deal with. With no corners cut, they'll leave you experiencing the most exemplary levels of comfort and muscle support. A-Lock Engineering As the name suggests, the A-Lock Engineering design is about creating shorts that 'lock into place', with the seat insert held exactly where it's needed in order to deliver unrivalled on-the-saddle comfort. It begins with the Type.441 textile. With exceptional compression qualities and silk-like feel, it provides superb stability and comfort to the shorts. Furthermore, it offers excellent moisture management, is anti-odour and is durable too. All yielding excellent cycling performance. Float like a Butterfly The next component of the A-Lock engineering system is the design and construction of the short panels. Previous Assos shorts have used four panels. The S9 uses just two. This gives a reduction in weight and fewer seams, boosting long-ride comfort. The two panels are shaped into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design. This hugs your legs and lower back snugly while also maintaining superb flexibility. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts. rollBar Bib Design Supporting the lower shorts section is Assos' rollBar bib strap system. Acting like a car's anti-sway bar, the rollBar bibs stabilise and secure the seat insert in place. The straps are attached across the same seam as the insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight. So whether on the saddle or jumping out of the saddle to sprint, the seat pad remains perfectly placed. The bib straps are a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame that perfectly supports the shorts. 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 Multi-Layer Seat Insert The heart of the shorts is the multi-layered S9 seat insert. Next to the skin you'll experience the soothing comfort of an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber. KraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad prevent excess sweat from hanging around to cause discomfort. A 3D-shaped 3-layer perforated waffle foam is the next layer to provide comfort. Reducing weight and bulk but easing pressure, it's ready for a tough day on the saddle. Then comes the superAir microShock foam core. It offers a combination of shock-absorption and memory return, adding comfort over all road surfaces and re-adapting to your body position every time you shift weight. It's a pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Conclusion Assos have once again pushed the boundaries of what defines high-performance cycling bib shorts. Fabric, construction and fit are all carefully refined and engineered for on-the-bike comfort. Their finest fitting and most comfortable bib shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations.

SRAM Force22 Road Disc BrakeThe Force 22 Road Disc Brake combines the outstanding performance of SRAM’s 11-Speed mechanical gearing with the power and reliability of hydraulic disc brakes. The force 22 lever features a revised design to offer increased braking force with less rider effort.Fade-free BrakingAs these levers use high-quality DOT 5.1 brake fluid, you can head into the mountains with even more confidence and you’ll be able to take on those long descents without worrying about your brakes.Advanced ShiftingSome of SRAM's best shifting technologies have been packed into the Force 22 lever, including Reach Adjust, DoubleTap, and ZeroLoss. This means that this lever offers you a personalised setup, minimal user effort and lightning quick shifts.Features:Material: Carbon Fibre (lever) Forged Aluminum (disc caliper and shift lever) Stainless Steel (hardware) Optimised stopping power and modulation for road use 18mm pistons Road specific caliper and piston ratio Fully sealed system = no contamination Finish: Ice grey anodised Mounting: Flat mount no offset Recommended Rotor: Centerline (140 and 160mm, not included) Pad Type: Steel-backed organic Fluid: DOT 5.1 Compatibility: SRAM RED 22, Force 22, and Rival 22 Speed: 11-Speed Shift Inner Cable Length: 2200mm Shift Outer Cable Length: 2050mm Hose Length: 1800mm Weight: 471g per wheel (lever, caliper, hose and 160mm centerline rotor)Technologies: DOT 5.1: Heat is an enemy of any brake system, so advancements in heat management mean advancements in your ride. SRAM found that in their brake systems, DOT 5.1 takes almost three times longer to boil than DOT 4, thus allowing flawless, fade-free performance in even more extreme conditions. DoubleTap: DoubleTap makes changing gears easier and faster, eliminating the cumbersome and awkward engagement associated with two-lever systems. DoubleTap handles up and downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort and maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars. With short, rapid taps you will shift up through the shifting range and downshifting comes via a longer sweep of the lever (in the same inward direction you upshift, but to an ergonomically maximised 15° angle) Reach Adjust: Brake lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Riders have individual positioning preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone. ZeroLoss: ZeroLoss simply means, well, zero loss—when you push on the lever, for an upshift or down shift, the cable is engaged instantly—zero loss of movement. There is no middle ground where you're waiting for the shift to come. Gear changes are instant and precise Connectamajig™: The Connectamajig is the coupling hose that makes the initial set-up of SRAM road hydraulic brake systems easy, fast and convenient for the factory, craft builder, or dealer. The intimidation of hydraulics is gone with a push and a twist, it's just that easy. Connectamajig is available to bike manufacturers and works for SRAM’s RED 22 and S-700 hydro systemsBuy SRAM Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
