Assos Equipe RS S11 Schtradivari bib shorts

The next generation of WorldTour shorts, redesigned to be even lighter. They feature even more breathable fabrics and wraparound compression support from waist to legs with raw cut hems. The main changes to the new EQUIPE RS shorts are the use of a new fabric and a new pad. The new fabric, Type.911, allowed us to completely redesign the model, reducing the number of seams and folds and perfecting the fit on the legs and waist. Also, being much more stretchy and providing greater compression than Type.411, the material used in the previous generation, Type.911 allowed us to remove the rollBar design. Instead of depending on suspenders to stay in place, the S11 shorts wrap around the rider's body with contoured omnidirectional stability. The top layer of the new RS S11 pad, which is softer in contact with the body and more resistant to wash cycles, is treated to eliminate odors even better without sacrificing all the features of the previous model, such as a profile that provides fresh ventilation, low bulk, light weight, and micro-shock cushioning.

Technologies

Featured Fabrics
Type.911 is a new ladderproof fabric created specifically for SCHTRADIVARIES. Its flowing, silky, anti-abrasion texture provides compression and stability and an even richer, more intense shade of black than the previous model. It also dries very quickly, preventing sweat buildup and the resulting weight gain, and features UPF 50+ protection and odor control technology.

Construction/Fit
The racingFit is a streamlined, close-fitting cut like a second skin, designed and proven in race conditions with input from WorldTour cyclists. Compression fabrics, micro-adaptive shaping, and low-cut, low bulk hems make racingFit the perfect collection for speed riders.

CranKio Tec
Reduces crease formation at the front of the hips to eliminate unwanted movement and friction between the fabric and the rider's body when pedaling.

INject Leggriper
Grip elements are applied only to the back of the raw-cut hem of the leg, reducing friction and weight and protecting the skin from sun damage.

Soft compression Module
Combines omni-directional, wraparound stability and compression with a waistband design that does not tighten even in aggressive pedaling positions.

Mineral Tec Surface
Ultrasoft top layer with minimized friction, very fast drying properties and odor absorption.

Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9
Foam compression materials integrated into a single-layer 9 mm racing pattern that minimizes weight and volume. Shaping via Thermoformed technology eliminates wrinkles and chafing.

KraterCooler
An ultralight, perforated support panel on the front allows air circulation throughout the pad.

WhirlKrater
Perforations are strategically distributed throughout the pad, creating a spiral for fresh air to pass through rather than just a unidirectional channel.

GoldenGate 2.0
The pad is fixed front and back, leaving freedom of movement on the central floating part, which allows it to adapt to the body's movement rather than creating friction. The new lug shape reduces bulk and friction throughout the pedaling arc.
