Assos Equipe RS S9 Targa Bib Short

Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9

The Equipe RS S9 Targa Bib Short is a WorldTour level option that provides fantastic comfort and wicking coupled with Assos’ renowned quality and fit. Type.441 and Ossidia material provide a comfortable and gently compressive feel whilst also being hardwearing and quick-drying. The short is held in place by A-Lock Engineering, with the rollBar bib straps extending down the back of the short to better stabilise the pad, keeping it in place both in and out of the saddle. Silicone-free leg grippers prevent the short from riding up uncomfortably, keeping tan lines sharp too.

The multi-layered seat pad combines shock absorption, airflow and moisture management. A 9mm compressive foam with 3D waffle overlay provides comfort for long days in the saddle, topped off with Sundeck Superlight fabric with Whirlkrater perforations that move any moisture away from the skin and allow for increased airflow. The pad is attached to the short using Assos’ goldenGate design, so that the stitching holds the front and rear of the pad in place but allows the pad to move with the body rather than rubbing against it for less irritation.
