The Assos S11 Equipe R Bib Shorts are at the heart of the Racing Series. These streamlined racing shorts come with trickledown technology, offering highly breathable compression in a second-skin fit. Ideal for both daily training and racing, the S11 generation is lighter and more comfortable in aggressive riding stances. They're the spiritual successor to the classic NeoPro model, borrowing tech from the premium RS SCHTRADIVARI Bib Shorts S11 but with a simpler build. Shared features include raw-cut cuffs, a minimal silicone grip, and the lightweight, compressive Type.911 textile. The key differences from the RS are in the simplified insert and bib strap construction, tailored for pure racing use. The Type.911 fabric is a warp-knit with a silky, abrasion-resistant feel. It provides stabilizing compression, has a deeper black color even when stretched, is hydrophobic and quick-drying to avoid weight gain from moisture, and comes with odorControl and UPF 50+ protection. The racingFit is an aerodynamic second-skin silhouette based on WorldTour feedback. It wraps large muscles with support in a slightly longer standard racing length. The zeroPressure Waist has high elasticity, fitting like a second skin and reducing pressure in aggressive positions. The skinGrip Finish secures the legs with minimal anti-slip edges, no excessive pressure or seams. The X-Frame from the EQUIPE RS line limits lower back sag, stabilizing the insert and body panel during intense rides. The Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9 uses compressive foam in a 9mm breathable platform, with thermoformed shaping to reduce irritation. The 3D Waffle is a patented, three - layer perforated foam for better breathability and less weight. The goldenGate 2.0 attaches the insert at front and rear, allowing it to move with your body. New side cut - outs reduce volume and friction during pedaling. Composition: Main Fabric 80%PA 20%EA; Padding Insert 85%PL 15%EA.
To use these bib shorts, simply put them on like you would any other pair of cycling shorts. Make sure the bib straps are over your shoulders and the shorts fit snugly around your legs. When riding, the design will keep you comfortable even in aggressive positions. As for maintenance, it's best to wash them in cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners as they can damage the special properties of the fabric. Hang them to dry to maintain their shape and the performance of the materials. Also, check for any signs of wear and tear regularly, especially on the cuffs and the insert. If you notice any issues, it might be time to replace the shorts to keep enjoying a great cycling experience.
