LIMITED EDITION. ASSOS x Mammut TACTICA Bib Shorts blend performance and durability for competition and touring alike, refined with integrated storage, a compressive textile, and a simplified, weigh-saving construction.
Gravel and singletrack performance, upgraded – the T5 features a lightweight, breathable, and compressive construction. Main features include thigh storage pockets, our Type.911 textile, and the stabilizing rollBar. The new textile and rollBar construction are adapted from the ASSOS Racing Series, bringing high-intensity road performance to off-road riding. The expanded options for thigh-pocket storage allow more ride essentials to support and fuel multi-hour gravel epics. The insert features ASSOS’ signature shock-absorbing foam, muting chatter and smoothing repeated impacts on gravel and trails.
TECHNOLOGY
FEATURED FABRICS
Type.911 is a warp-knit textile with a silky-smooth, abrasion-resistant texture that provides stabilizing compression in a deeper, fuller black than the previous model. It’s also hydrophobic and dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture, and is equipped with odorControl properties and UPF 50+ protection. The pockets are created with panels of K-Net, a supportive, breathable warp-knit mesh that wraps contents in stabilizing security.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
The TACTICA T5 mobility-enhancing fit is less aggressive than ASSOS racingFit, balancing streamlined, low-volume aerodynamics with multi-hour comfort and less restriction off the bike.
ENGINEERING
rollBar: A patented bracing design adapted from the Racing Series. Stabilizes the insert and locks it in place as your weight transfers while sprinting, climbing, and cornering.
zeroPressure Waist:A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.
PILtec Plug-In:A lightweight, ultrabreathable textile band across the leg opening. The microdot silicone treatment is invisible from the outside but stabilizes fit and maintains grip while wet.
Integrated Storage:Two triple-ramp thigh pockets securely stow ride essentials with easy access while the gravel or the trail demands full attention.
ACTICA T5 Insert
Shock-Absorb Damping Mono:A single, breathable layer of 11mm of off-road comfort, engineered to absorb the micro-shocks and vibration of gravel and singletrack.
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 the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.
3D Waffle:patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
