Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Shorts – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Shorts – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Shorts – Cycle. Brands like Assos are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Shorts – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

• Description: Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9The Assos Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 push technical performance and race-bred comfort to a new level. Going back to the drawing board Assos designers have paid attention to every detail to create the finest racing shorts possible.Developed with Pros. Ridden by You.Having entered back into the milieu of the Pro Tour Peloton, Assos have made full use of the knowledge and feedback from pro riders. With a Grand Tour or Classic taking in all weathers, varying road surfaces, steep climbs, manic descents and sprints a lot is demanded of a pair of shorts. This has pushed the engineering team to create innovative solutions focused on delivering the finest fit, comfort and support for the demanding cyclist. The final result is the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 with A-Lock engineering. A-Lock EngineeringAt the heart of this bib short is a new Assos concept, A-Lock Engineering. Using a combination of new construction methods and materials, Assos’ engineers have managed to create a short where the seat insert remains in the perfect position at all times. They start with Type.441 textile, a silky smooth fabric which boasts incredible moisture management, anti-odour and long term durability – all-in-all, a perfect cycling fabric. This new fabric is then carefully tailored using a brand new panel design to create an incredibly stable platform for the seat insert. Where their S7 shorts use four panels, the S9s reduce this to just two, lessening bulk, reducing seams and hence increasing comfort. The two panels form a unique ‘butterfly’ shape, wrapping around the legs snugly to form what Assos have named their ergoBox structure. It is this which keeps the seat insert perfectly positioned, whether you’re in the saddle, out of the saddle, sprinting or climbing. rollBar Bib DesignAssos have also completely redesigned the bib straps on the S9. Just like an anti-sway bar on a car, the new rollBar design provides stability. The straps pass over the rear of the shorts and attach directly into the same seam as the seat insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made with highly elastic materials, a single Y-frame piece in the back creating the ideal level of support for the shorts while exerting minimal pressure. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts use an antibacterial carbon weave, wicking away moisture incredibly quickly for intense comfort. These are bib shorts you’ll barely realise are there. S9 InsertAt the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you’re guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. Assos have once again pushed what is possible with performance cycling equipment. With incredible attention to every detail, every seam and fabric engineering, the Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9 will allow you to ride further and faster than ever, pushing performance to new heights. Features:Materials: 68% Polyamide, 32% ElastaneA-Lock Engineering technologyRollBar Bib strap stabilization30% Seam Reduction reduces weight enhances comfortErgoBox construction stabilizes seat padZeroWaist raw cut waist transitionButterfly pattern wraps lower legs and backUltralight leg grippers free of silicone but maintains perfect holdCarbon Xbib multi-fabric construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.441 fabric – 40-gauge warp knit, developed specificallyfor compression hold and silky comfort -UPF 50+, moisture wickingBuy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
