December 2024: ASSOS end of production sale item.
Limited sizes/quantities available.
From the compressive, all-day comfort of the fit to the high-wear fabrics and additional cargo space, these bib shorts check all the boxes for gravel and adventure riding support. The new gravel specific ASSOS GTC C2 insert with 19mm thickness provides supreme ride comfort on the most extreme uneven road surfaces.
Gravel, adventure touring and bikepacking require more robust equipment; bike frame, wheels, tires. ...none of a rider’s gear is exempt. The ASSOS MILLE GT KIESPANZER Bib Shorts (KIESPANZER=gravel tank) provide the requisite durability for the inevitable abuse of cycling beyond the tarmac and also equipped with storage solutions for day-trip supplies. Supplement pack space and keep ride essentials readily accessible in pockets of high-stretch, extremely breathable mesh panels. There are 4 mesh pockets total; 2 pockets on thigh area/ 2 pockets on upper lower back/hip area.
Reflective stripes help ensure visibility on early departures, late returns or those longer than planned dusk rides while pushing through the final kilometers/miles to the next hotel or campsite.
TECHNOLOGY:
FEATURED FABRICS: Type.429 wraps with a lightly compressive hold for a streamlined, breathable fit. When the gravel “road” becomes little more than a path and trail-side brush closes in, protective side panels add a barrier against abrasion that still stretches and compresses like a road-specific textile courtesy of a woven, 50/50 polyamide and elastane blend.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT: C2 AEPD regularFit is based on performance race models with a less aggressive, streamlined design and standard leg length. Tuned for comfort in the saddle and mobility off the bike.
