If you want to be flying in the summer, you’ll need to put in the hard miles on the bike in winter. The Pro SL Bib Tights II keep your training on track in tough conditions all thanks to their luxuriously warm Thermoroubaix® construction. This insulating fleece-backed material holds in body heat across the thighs and lower legs, keeping your legs supple and warm. Not only that, but a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish across the front and rear seat panels also sheds road spray, light rain and sleet. Meanwhile, the cosy-touch mesh upper lets your skin breathe, ensuring sweat can’t build up and cause you to chill down while high-stretch Lycra® bound bib straps soon disappear from your mind. Next-Level Comfort Inside the Pro SL Bib Tights II is Endura’s outstanding 700 Series pad. Created with long-distance rides in mind, the latest version is a step up in comfort from the original 700 pad. The soft-touch super high wicking top-sheet improves against-the-skin feel while an increase in foam density in key areas boosts support and shock absorption. Comfort is also enhanced through even more breathable reticulated foam, keeping you feeling drier on long road rides. This high-tech pad is finished with an anti-bacterial finish too, leaving you fresh after your training efforts.
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.
