Assos EQUIPE RS Bib Shorts S9 : NATIONAL RED

Season:2021

Brand:Assos

Code:11.10.190.47.

Performance tuned bib shorts : The Assos Equipe RS S9 are a ground-up design based on years of feedback and testing from riders at the highest level of the sport. Assos developed the Equipe RS on the principle that a class leading pad is only as good as the framework that supports it and set out to redefine how their race-tuned shorts should be created.

As with a bib short versus a waisted or half short, pad hold is the key to performance and comfort. A bib does a better job of holding the pad in place under you as you move around on the bike. It's why you should always buy a bib short given the choice. Using this thinkng, Assos - in collaboration with their pro team riders - set about perfecting that relationship between insert and bib.

Assos started by considering the rigours that riders subject their shorts to - after all riding is dynamic and as such a short should be able to accommodate the regular changes in body posture, the hard cornering, the movement into and out of the saddle and pedaling dynamics that greatly impact shorts and the way its pad functions; because ultimately this speaks to the comfort the short is able to provide.

As a result, Assos re-designed their braces with new A-Lock Engineering. This system comprises proprietary textiles and technologies working together to stabilise the shorts and secure the insert in place. The new S9 generation incorporates just two panels, with a primary “butterfly” panel fully wrapping the legs and converging in the rear to form what Assos call the ergoBox structure. This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap on your legs using their high density and more compressive Type.441 textile.

Type.441 was developed specifically for compressive hold with smooth on-skin feel. Then, by using 'rollBar' to allow the bib straps to stabilise the insert, they effectively helped to lock the pad in place as you transfer weight from left to right while cornering. This means less shift on the pad, which in turn keeps it where it should be for enhanced comfort and less wear and tear. This is achieved by sewing each strap into the seam directly above the insert, ensuring it is pre-loaded at all times.

More than that though, 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 throughout the pedal stroke. At the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat.

Assos also refined their proven pad technology to create a lighter weight, more streamlined race insert that - despite the 'Race' moniker - still delivers Assos' signature comfort. The pad features ultralight open cell foam for shock-absorbancy with the company's proven 3D waffle technology in evidence and a reinforced central stitch locking the pad into the shorts. Similar to the kukuPentouse, the Equipe features a new kraterCooler system to increase airflow up front to keep your essentials better ventilated - assisting natures grand idea of keeping them on the outside in the first place!

The Equipe RS S9 Bib Shorts are a performance focussed bib short, with signature Assos comfort in a more compressive and stabilised package. Available in Prof Black (Black logo tags), Black Series, National Red colours. So, black then....
Technical Information
A-Lock Engineering: S9 racingFit system comprising new textiles and technologies working in harmony to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place.

Butterfly Pattern: The primary textile panel fully wrapping the lower back and legs, coming together in the rear. Fewer seams leads to a more uniform hold, less weight, and greater comfort.

Type.441: A patented 40-guage warp knit, developed specifically for compressive hold and silky comfort. 200g/m2, UPF 50+, moisture wicking (idroFil fastDry), iceColor, odorControl, and extremely durable.

rollBar: A patented bracing design that mimics a race car’s anti-sway bar by using the bib straps to stabilize the insert and lock it in place as your weight transfers from left to right while cornering.

ergoBox: A square pattern construction that effectively frames the insert in the back, boxing it in for added stability.

Carbon Xbib: A single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming a supportive A-frame that delivers limited vertical stretch in the rear. Above the “X” junction, a more flexible material is employed, incorporating an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat in the front.

zeroWaist: A raw-cut, tape-reinforced edge for the smoothest transition possible between the body and fabric panel. More comfort with less pressure.

Ultralight Leg Grippers: A light silicon treatment woven into the leg bands, which reduces fabric bulk and secures the shorts in place without any excessive pressure.

30% Seam Reduction: Flatter seams throughout, with fewer overall, translates to more comfort and lower overall weight (180g).

mod.Dep S9 Basalt: Antibacterial microfiber booster top sheet in 3D basalt colorway. Pays homage to the lava stone that gives us strength, stability, and courage.

superAir microShock foam: A lightweight open cell foam with a shock absorbing composition that returns to its original position, filling the gap every time pedaling position is changed in the saddle through the shift of weight.

3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.

Surface Reduction Design: Insert footprint reduced from previous Equipe Evo pattern to shed extra grams.

goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.

Horizontal Stabilizer: a patented central stitch that secures the rear of the insert to the outer textile, eliminating shifting while pedaling out of the saddle.

kraterCooler: System of small holes in the front of the insert that increases airflow so that your sensitive areas are kept cooler.

Composition: 80% Polyamide 20% Elastane
