Quick info: NEW Spring/Summer 2024
9mm insert EQUIPE RS S11
ASSOS CLIMACODE 1.3 SUMMER - color code white
The ASSOS EQUIPE RS SCHTRADIVARI Bib Shorts S11 is the next generation of ASSOS EQUIPE RS bib shorts, reengineered with lower weight, increased cooling breathability, and more comfortable, body-wrapping compression from waist to raw-cut leg openings. Available in STANDARD or LONG (+3cm) leg length.
This is the STANDARD leg length version.
The critical updates to the new EQUIPE RS S11 bib shorts are a new textile and a new insert. The new textile, Type.911, allowed ASSOS to completely reengineer the cut, reducing the seam count and wrinkles while micro-adjusting fit across the legs and waist. It also allowed elimination of the rollBar bib strap design, because Type.911 is more elastic and more compressive than the Type.411 used on the previous generation. Rather than merely suspended from bib straps, the S11 shorts envelope the rider’s body in omnidirectional, body-mapped stability. The new RS S11 insert’s top sheet is both softer against the body and more durable for washing, and it has an improved odor control treatment while maintaining its predecessor’s cooling airflow, micro-shock damping, and low volume, lightweight profile.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT For the RS Summer 1/3 system, pair with the EQUIPE RS Jersey S11 for high-intensity riding in hot conditions.
TECHNOLOGY
FEATURED FABRICS
Type.911 is a new warp-knit textile composed for the SCHTRADIVARI. Its silky smooth, abrasion-resistant texture provides stabilizing compression in a deeper, fuller black than the previous model. It also dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture, and is equipped with UPF 50+ protection and odor control.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
ASSOS racingFit is a second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette designed with WorldTour feedback and proven with WorldTour results. Compressive textiles, micro-adjusted shaping, and low-bulk, raw-cut hems and cuffs identify racingFit as the definitive speed series.
ENGINEERING
cranKio Tec: Reduces wrinkling across the front of the hips during the pedal stroke to eliminate movement and friction between the textile and the rider.
INject leg griper: Grip applied only across the back of the rawcut leg opening, reducing friction and weight while protecting the gripping portion from sun damage.
Soft compression Module: Provides body-enveloping, omnidirectional compression and stability with a waist construction that eliminates restriction in aggressive riding positions.
X-Frame: “An A-frame suspension that limits sag on the lower back, stabilizing the insert and main body panel during highintensity riding. Anchored across the shoulders by ASSOS lightest bib straps.”
RS S11 INSERT
Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9: Compressive foam materials in a single-layer 9mm racing platform that minimizes volume and weight. Thermoformed shaping eliminates ridges and irritation. -
3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight. -
kraterCooler: An ultralight panel of perforated support at the front creates cooling airflow across the insert. -
whirlKrater: Perforations strategically distributed throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow instead of just a unidirectional breeze. -
goldenGate 2.0: The insert is attached at front and rear with floating sides and center, letting it move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on wings reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke. -
Mineral Tec Surface: A soft, ultrasmooth coversheet that reduces friction and irritation while promoting comfort with quick-drying properties and permanent odorControl.
