Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 : BLACK SERIES

Season:2021

Brand:Assos

Code:11.10.191.18.

Assos' EQUIPE Range is tuned for racing and whikle the EQUIPE RS is a fine race oriented bib short platform, Assos decided they could do better.

Taking the RS platform and stripping away any component that wasn't essential, Assos focussed on delivering the highest level of performance married to complete comfort, for the speed focused rider. The result is the Equipe RSR S9 Bib Short.

While the RSR features many of the features of the RS, there are some significant changes, most notably in the body fabric. Rather than Type.441, the EQUIPE RSR employs Type.701kompressor.

The successor to the lauded S7 Campionissimo kompressor, 701 is a complex woven textile that uses ultra-thin yarns with super-high elasticity. The resulting fabric benefits from a near-frictionless weave that provides you with incredible comfort and muscle support in a lightweight and uninvasive 'second skin'. Delivering phenomenal structural hold, breathability, and a silky smooth, uninterrupted wrap along the low back and thighs, you are always supported - even through your toughest efforts, though you might not notice. Despite the incredible low weight, the RSR remain an incredibly durable bib short too, with 701 deftly handling the regular abrupt transitions, between road surfaces and the constant shifting into and out of the saddle while pedalling.

In combination with the new 701 Kompressor textile, Assos employ their A-Lock Engineering platform of proprietary textiles and technologies that work together to stabilise the shorts and secure the insert in place. The S9 generation RSR shorts incorporate just two panels, with a primary “butterfly” panel fully wrapping the legs and converging in the rear to form what Assos call the ergoBox structure. This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap and in conjunction with Type.701, delivers the best clickFit Assos have produced.

Despite the similarities with the RS, Assos omitted the RS rollBar in order to trim more weight and leaning on the textile’s naturally improved holding properties to take up the additional stabilisation. The bib straps have also been redesigned using calibrated stretch throughout, with the rear section using a single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming an A-frame in the back. It delivers limited vertical stretch in order to add further stability. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat.

The heart of the shorts - the insert or pad has a singular remit. Evolved from the proven Equipe Evo, Assos reduced the overall footprint to further shed weight. Using superAir microShock foam with 3D waffle and incorporating the kraterCooler system to increase airflow up front, Assos took additional measures to anchor the insert at the rear with a patented horizontal stabiliser.

The overall result is unrivalled stability in a lower weight bib short than ever and all without sacrificing any of the signature comfort delivered by A-Lock and - indeed, they are more comfortable than ever.
Technical Information
A-Lock Engineering: S9 racingFit system comprising new textiles and technologies working in harmony to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place.

Butterfly Pattern: The primary textile panel fully wrapping the lower back and legs, coming together in the rear. Fewer seams leads to a more uniform hold, less weight, and greater comfort.

Type.701kompressor: A patented woven textile developed specifically for compressive hold and second-skin comfort. 160g/m2, UPF 50+, dyed-through yarns with infused odorControl, maximum abrasion-resistance, friction reduction, hydrophobicity, and heat management. Tuned elongation in front panel for added comfort.

ergoBox: A square pattern construction that effectively frames the insert in the back, boxing it in for added stability.

Carbon Xbib: A single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming a supportive A-frame that delivers limited vertical stretch in the rear. Above the “X” junction, a more flexible material is employed, incorporating an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat in the front.

zeroWaist: A raw-cut, tape-reinforced edge for the smoothest transition possible between the body and fabric panel. More comfort with less pressure.

Ultralight Leg Grippers: A light silicon treatment woven into the leg bands, which reduces fabric bulk and secures the shorts in place without any excessive pressure.

30% Seam Reduction: Flatter seams throughout, with fewer overall, translates to more comfort and lower overall weight (160g).

mod.Dep S9 Basalt: Antibacterial microfiber booster top sheet in 3D basalt colorway. Pays homage to the lava stone that gives us strength, stability, and courage.

superAir microShock foam: A lightweight open cell foam with a shock absorbing composition that returns to its original position, filling the gap every time pedaling position is changed in the saddle through the shift of weight.

3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.

Surface Reduction Design: Insert footprint reduced from previous Equipe Evo pattern to shed extra grams.

goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.

Horizontal Stabilizer: a patented central stitch that secures the rear of the insert to the outer textile, eliminating shifting while pedaling out of the saddle.

kraterCooler: System of small holes in the front of the insert that increases airflow so that your sensitive areas are kept cooler.

Composition: 68% Polyamide 32% Elastane
