Shorts/Bottoms

The Women's H UmaShortsGT S7 from Assos proves you can leave the bibs behind and still get the comfort and support you want and need, helping you perform your best on solo efforts or during challenging road races. Features like the revolutionary goldenGate chamois construction method allow the Swiss manufacturer the ability to attach the chamois at the front and rear while leaving the sides free to float with your body instead of against it. This all but eliminates friction from the chamois and shorts eradicating skin irritation in sensitive areas. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we're seeing similar construction from other manufacturers but Assos is often the one who does it first and continues to do it the best. After all, Assos was the first company to bring a lycra cycling short to market. The lack of bibs allows these shorts to remain comfortable during warm rides and make stopping for nature breaks a little easier. Whether these are your first pair of cycling shorts or a pair that you picked up for everyday training or racing, these bibs will serve you well for summer century rides or indoor spin classes in the winter. Assos is known by its self-appointed name "the shorts company," and over its 40 years of experience, it has construction and materials dialed. The fabric utilized is known as Type.439 Diadema which Assos created in collaboration with its fabric suppliers to specifically meet its rigid demands for performance, comfort, and durability. The weave has two different rates of 4-way stretch which requires expertise to craft into shorts. This compressive material is arranged anatomically so your body fits into the shorts, rather than the other way around. While the panels do their jobs supporting and compressing muscles helping to reduce fatigue and encouraging recovery, a wrap-knit fabric known as aeroFit, is utilized in a double layer for the legs and abdominal area as it has a specific structure that aids in ventilation while gently contouring to your shape and prevents any unrestricted movement while reaching for the bars or climbing out of the saddle. Assos treats the shorts with a fabric treatment known as iceColor that reflects sunlight and thus reduces heat absorption to keep muscles cooler. In addition to the goldenGate tech mentioned above, the H UmaShortsGT S7 brings a women's specific UMA insert which is cut narrow in the front to reduce bulk and increase comfort. The same _s7 chamois technology found throughout Assos' men's line is utilized here with the 8mm-thick memoryFoam material with remarkable return properties. It quickly resumes its original position and shape after deformation, filling the gaps between body and chamois created by your pedal stroke while your weight shifts throughout the cycling motions. As you can imagine, the free-floating, goldenGate design also facilitates this gap-free fit, which keeps contact constant, to avoid chafing. Finally, the superAir and waffle construction of the insert's layers warrant a shout out as they increase breathability and shed weight with negative space. They also effectively increase the material's surface area, transporting moisture away from your skin to accelerate drying for hours of comfort that go beyond what the insert's low weight would suggest. As a final measure, Assos treats the insert with odorControl, an anti-bacterial treatment that reduces unpleasant odors while improving durability.

Bib-free shorts engineered for utility and all-day comfort. Built for base miles and endurance epics, whether they’re on the road or the indoor trainer. The absence of bib straps compounds the difficulty of dialing the perfect ride-tuned fit. To address that, we reimagined the waistband with a stabilizing elastic layer that anchors the fit and an additional top band of mesh that extends coverage, independent of the elastic band, for comfort, moisture management, and to eliminate gaps between shorts and jersey while in the saddle. The updated insert features increased ventilation, a reduced footprint, and a new Odor Control Top Sheet Tex in Sugar Blue.

Full-length, insert-free protection constructed from breathable fabrics to ensure your comfort stays turned up high during high-intensity workouts, indoors and out. Behind the product We created this insert-free version for added versatility, giving you the option to bring the same ASSOS comfort along for gym workouts and active-to-casual duty. In a design optimized for comfort, we’ve pre-shaped the lightly compressive fabric panels to flex with every pedal stroke while supporting the upper and lower leg muscles, and we’ve given the tights a fold-over front panel design to create a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric.

The UMA GT Women’s Half Shorts set a new standard in on-the-bike comfort and female-specific design. The UMA GT Women’s Half Shorts blend several proven textiles and construction techniques to create a truly unique pair of shorts that are as fast as they are comfortable. Like our high-end Laalalai Shorts, they’re cut from Type.439 Diadema, a fabric chosen for its exceptional stretch, high-wicking, and compressive capabilities. Wind-tunnel tested and using our aerodynamic Fenomeno1 design, these are our some of our fastest women’s cycling shorts yet. The precise fit comes down to the waistband design, where we applied our breathable, ultrasoft Aerofit material at the front, using a fold-over construction that comfortably holds the shorts in place across the abdominals. We did the same at the lower legs, adding a secure, stay-put fit with an asymmetrical hold on the thighs. Compared to our Laalalai shorts, these are 2.5cm shorter in length. And in terms of the insert, we’ve sewn in the lightweight, breathable S7 EVO to deliver targeted support and all-day comfort.

No inserts, breathable fabrics, full-length protection, and a perfect fit ensure your comfort stays turned up high during high-intensity gym workouts. BEHIND THE PRODUCT With their smooth feel and full-length design, the UMA GT Summer Half Tights NO INSERTS keep you spinning in total, UV-protected comfort during the sunny days of summer. We used our proven Type.429 fabric to create the tights’ leg paneling, as this material is highly breathable, buttery soft against the skin, and features built-in UPF protection. The fit of the tights falls under our regularFit category, which means they’re lightly compressive where they need to be, but not as tight as our racingFit apparel. The fabric panels flex with each pedal stroke, as they’re both pre-shaped and sewn to fully wrap and support the upper and lower leg muscles while in motion. This insert-free version tights for added versatility, giving you the option to bring the same ASSOS comfort along for gym workouts and active-to-casual

Your trusty Assos T.tiburu_s7 shorts and knickers are perfect for chilly fall days and early spring rides, but sometimes winter calls for more protection. Get covered with the Assos Men's LL.habuTights_s7 Bib Tights, which feature the soft, weather-blocking elements of their shorter counterparts but with full leg protection against the snow and cold. The main fabric in these tights is Assos' RX Medium. RX Medium features a brushed lining for warmth, comfort, and wicking and Assos' own water repellent technology on the exterior to fend off drizzle. These tights also incorporate a panel of wind resistant Stratagon Ultra fabric in the front crotch and lower abdomen. Assos is calling this feature BlasenSchutz, which translates literally to "blow protection," suggesting windproof qualities, but which Assos translates as "bladder protection." Assos claims that the extra protection keeps you from having to urinate while riding in cold weather, but we can't repeat that in good conscious without acknowledging that we're not sure if it's true or not. What we can say about BlasenSchutz is that the extra panel protects your core from wind chill — a feature that needs no additional bladder-related justification. For the little details, Assos adds a pocket at the back of the LL.habuTights_s7 Bib Tights to hold small essentials, media players, or a radio, and comfy elastic at the ankles holds the tights themselves in place. Reflective elements at the ankles add a bit of stylish flair while increasing visibility to motorists in low-light and dreary conditions.

Shorts engineered for long-distance comfort, combining light compression with high elasticity for total performance on every ride. The MILLE GT Half Shorts are for long-distance comfort on short rides, big rides, indoor training, and everything in between. We’ve treated them with a lightly compressive material with high elasticity to ensure a comfortable and consistent hold on your legs while pedaling. The make-or-break point of any bib-less short comes down to the waistband design and to address that, we’ve applied a soft, breathable material at the front, with a fold-over construction to comfortably hold the shorts in place across the abdominals.

A bib-free training and endurance cycling short that's at home on the road or aboard the indoor trainer. Bibs aren't for everyone, but their absence compounds the difficulty of dialing the perfect ride-tuned fit. The bib-free Zero-Pressure waist embodies our C2 AEPD click-fit ethos with a secure hold on the sides and back, and a panel insert on the front stretches to accommodate aggressive positioning on the bike and deep breathing during hard efforts. The updated insert inherited increased ventilation from our premium models, and 3mm of additional thickness increase long-ride comfort. - 80%PA 20%EA

The T.Mille_s7 is Assos's entry level bib short. Its larger cut is perfectly adapted to the recreational cyclist, rather than for the racer. This really is an everyday short. As with all cycling shorts, it was designed to worn directly on the skin. You can wear this short in combination with a skinFoil base layer and any Assos jersey in order to stay dry and comfortable. Based on the S7 generation, the T.Mille_s7 offers ultimate comfort at the best price. If comfort is higher on your list than performance, you should definitely check this one out! A larger cut for improved comfort Replaces the neoPro short - inspired by its technology Less for competition, more for everyday riding

Full-length summer tights with a pressure-free fit in a highly breathable design.

We wanted an all-inclusive solution for daily riding. That’s simple in concept; it’s more complicated in the execution. To meet our expectations, we built the premier UMA GT on a platform of trickledown tech, including an updated AEPD fit profile and bib suspension infrastructure. We also updated the insert, reducing the footprint, boosting cooling, and adding an aesthetic touch with the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex in Sugar Blue.

A new bib short platform for committed daily riding, whether that’s dedicated training regimens, the weekly crit series, or weekend centuries. We wanted an all-inclusive solution for daily riding. That’s simple in concept; it’s more complicated in the execution. To meet our expectations, we built the premier UMA GT on a platform of trickledown tech, including an updated AEPD fit profile and bib suspension infrastructure. We also updated the insert, reducing the footprint, boosting cooling, and adding an aesthetic touch with the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex in Sugar Blue.

The next generation in committed riders' bib shorts of choice, defined by its frictionless waist, refined air-cooling insert, and muscle-wrapping textile. We took this generational redesign as an opportunity to make the MILLE GT better at the things we loved about its predecessor, including our premium X-frame suspension carriage, a refined comfort waist fit, and a reduction in seams and weight (28% and 5g, respectively). The insert also got some attention, inheriting the increased ventilation of our GTS/GTO models and receiving 3mm of additional cushioning. We also updated the Odor Control Top Sheet Tex to the Sugar Blue colorway. - 80%PA 20%EA

Shorts for training and endurance cycling that eliminate the bulk of obtrusive bib straps, without sacrificing fit security or ride quality. Behind the product: Bibs aren’t for everyone, but omitting bib straps risks losing the stability and confidence of maintaining coverage in back and keeping the insert locked into position. We see opportunity where other manufacturers see challenge, and the H.laalalaiShorts’ combination of patterning and materials makes it seem like the answer was easy all along. Beginning at the wide, unrestrictive waistband, the shorts rise across the lower back to eliminate gaps between shorts and jersey and provide an anchor to hold the compressive paneling and insert in place. No need for constant readjusting in either direction. The waistband’s effective minimalism extends through the shorts’ bodies, whose clean aesthetics are the result of function-first design privileging gentle compression, seam reduction, and years-long durability.

Streamlined overshorts engineered for gravel and bikepacking, featuring a frictionless waist construction, gusseted leg openings, and abrasion-resistant textiles. BEHIND THE PRODUCT The ZEPPELIN incorporates many of the same design features of our TRAIL Cargo Shorts, albeit refined for the unique demands of gravel and bikepacking. It’s 5cm shorter with a slimmer leg opening that can be zipped open to the same width as the TRAIL version. Generous reflective strips down the outer thighs help keep you visible if you arrive after dusk or your itinerary has you departing before dawn. FEATURED FABRICS: The body textile, Type.OF11, is a lightweight, high-density bi-stretch woven material that resists abrasion, dries fast, protects with UPF50+, and sheds road spray, precipitation and mud with a DWR treatment. Supplemented at the waist with Sens ST for stretch and comfort. CONSTRUCTION/FIT: ASSOS regularFit in a streamlined take on baggies for gravel and touring with our standard leg length. Maintains comfort, coverage and unrestricted movement in and out of the saddle.

Full-length summer tights with a pressure-free fit in a highly breathable design. Through the careful choice of fabrics, we've developed a summer solution that combines comfort with UV protection. We've optimized the design of the tights for comfort and pre-shaped the fabric panels so they flex with every pedal stroke while supporting the upper and lower leg muscles. The tights also wrap across the abdominals offering a secure, pressure-free fit, while our UMA GT EVO with 8mm of plush memory foam offers complete in-saddle comfort for longer rides. Our Type.429 fabric ensures breathability and a lightly compressive design that offers maximum elasticity, along with UPF 50+ and built-in odorControl. The tights are cut in our regularFit for a fit that's lightly compressive just where it needs to be for maximum comfort.

A lightly insulated knicker engineered for cool conditions and long-distance comfort, featuring extended knee coverage and stormproof textiles. BEHIND THE PRODUCT Ideal for those cool fall and spring rides where added knee coverage and a touch of insulation make all the difference, we crafted the Spring Fall Knickers to meet the demands of these variable conditions. The fit lines up with our regularFit design, which means they’re lightly compressive where they need to be without being as tight as our racingFit design. To underscore that aspect, we’ve pre-shaped and sewn the fabric panels to fully wrap and support the upper leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion.

Off-road bib shorts blending performance and durability for competition and touring alike, refined with integrated storage, a more compressive textile, and a simplified, weight-saving construction. Behind the product: Gravel and singletrack performance, upgraded – the TACTICA KIESKÄFER T5 replaces the GTC KIESPANZER C2 with a lighter, more breathable, and more compressive construction. The key upgrades are the Type.911 textile, and the stabilizing rollBar, which are adapted from the Racing Series, bringing high-intensity road performance to off-road riding. The thigh pockets are also larger, granting expanded storage for easy access to ride essentials and fuel. For the T5 generation, we also updated the insert with more shock-absorbing foam, muting chatter and smoothing repeated impacts on gravel and trails.

This one-piece wicks and breathes in comfort so that you can focus on your ride, not your clothing. Tailored for the riding position, the UMA GT NS Body Suit is ready for the hottest and hardest rides and demonstrates attention to detail from every angle. From the brand known as the “shorts company,” nothing but our most recent S7 generation UMA chamois would pass muster for inclusion in this piece. A fine demonstration of our investment in excellence, the UMA insert is lightweight, breathable, and cut to universally contour to female riders with our acclaimed free-moving goldenGate technology. An expansion of the UMA GT Collection, this high performance body suit replaces the summer staple tB.Laalalai and has a place in every rider’s arsenal. Whether you’re at a summer crit or cresting the highest cols in the Dolomites, our Type.112 Dual textile has the ability to deal with the demands of the season. Exacting riders will appreciate the full-length zip, the 2-in-1 rear pocket for practicality, as well as the raw-cut collar and arm holes for a frictionless fit.

The core of the Racing Series, a streamlined racing bib short with trickledown technology. Engineered with highly breathable compression in a second-skin fit for daily training and racing, the S11 generation is lighter and more comfortable in aggressive riding positions. Behind the product: The EQUIPE R S11 is the spiritual successor to our classic NeoPro model, featuring technology from the premium RS SCHTRADIVARI Bib Shorts S11 in a simpler construction. That shared technology includes raw-cut cuffs, a minimal silicone grip, and the lightweight, compressive Type.911 textile. The key differences between the RS and the R are in the EQUIPE R S11 insert and the bib strap construction, both of which are simplified for pure racing utility.

Assos’ Women’s HL.tiburuTights_S7Lady feature a new calf design, a supportive waist band, and a smart blend of fabrics for comfort and warmth in cool riding conditions. Assigned the Tiburu Climarange category, these tights are designed for the cool but not cold temperatures generally associated with Fall and Spring; particularly advantageous within the range of 59 to 70°F (15 to 22°C). Warmer RX Medium fabric covers the front of the leg while thinner, RX Light fabric on the backside regulates moisture and temperature. The calf showcases a new bowling-pin shaped design, borrowed from Assos’ men’s S7 generation of tights, for improved fit. Reflective detailing on the backside of the calf ensures greater rider visibility in low light conditions. For sustained comfort in the saddle, these tights are equipped with Assos’ S7 insert - designed to move with the body while remaining taut for greater freedom of movement and reduced friction.

Bib tights engineered with flexible insulation and our signature UMA Insert to ensure comfortable support in challenging winter conditions. BEHIND THE PRODUCT When full-leg coverage and high levels of insulation became mandatory in our UMA GT collection, we knew how to develop bib tights with a proper fit to answer that call. The fit of the bibs falls into our female-specific regularFit category, which means they're lightly compressive where they need to be, but not as tight as our racingFit apparel. We’ve pre-shaped and sewn the fabric panels to fully wrap and support the upper leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion, where they flex with each pedal stroke.

Part of the super-warm Bonka range of clothing by ASSOS, the LL.Milletights_S7 are the best choice for colder winter riding. Cut from a dual layer of RX Heavy material on the front, they offer great protection from bone-piercing cold winds all while keeping great freedom of movement with lighter materials at the joints. The friction-free Mille_S7 bib cushion is still very breathable and lightweight, all held together by the Y7 frame carrier bibTech, which holds the chamois in place even when out of the saddle. The wide elastic bib straps are designed to exert minimal pressure on the shoulders, which can be a problem when layering for cold temperatures. The calves feature a large reflective pannel which highlights a moving part of your body for maximal visibility in low-light winter conditions. Dual layer of Rx Heavy material, ASSOS' warmest material Mille_S7 chamois with Y7 bibTech holder Reflective panels on calves

Autumn riding is fraught with peril. We don't mean sudden storms, buffeting winds, and less daylight. Rather, we're talking about the dangers of over- or under-dressing for a bike ride. Assos helps to address this problem with its new thermally insulated T.tiburu_s7 Bib Shorts, which you can wear alone on days in the 50s or pair with leg warmers on days that are cold enough to warrant full coverage. The shorts' main fabric is the all-new 610.RX, developed exclusively for the T.tiburu_s7s and their knicker and full-length counterparts, due out in 2015. 610.RX has a brushed lining for warmth, comfort, and wicking, and the exterior is treated with Assos' own water repellent technology. The shorts also incorporate a panel of wind resistant Stratagon Ultra fabric in the front crotch and lower abdomen. Assos is calling this feature BlasenSchutz, which translates literally to "blow protection," suggesting windproof qualities, but which Assos translates more playfully as "bladder protection." Assos claims that the extra protection keeps you from having to urinate while riding in cold weather, but we can't repeat that in good conscious without acknowledging that we're not sure if it's true or not. What we can say about BlasenSchutz is that the extra panel protects your core from wind chill — a feature that needs no additional bladder-related justification. The insert is the same featured in the race-level T.equipe_s7 shorts. It boasts the same eight millimeters of memory foam, which "fill the gaps" while your body moves through the pedaling motion, and it incorporates the perforated waffle layer, which provides ventilation and a more forgiving ride. It also has the goldenGate feature, where the center sides of the chamois aren't stitched to the shorts' body. This means that the chamois has that much more freedom to move with you while you pedal rather than staying stationery while you move across it. The chamois also benefits from another Assos invention, integrated front pad protection, which means that the chamois isn't sewn into the front but actually extends to the end of the panel, eliminating seams in what we can all agree is a very sensitive area. Chapeau, Assos. Assos designs its clothing according to the dictates of their ALS (Assos Layer System), wherein it's divided the year into seven distinct cycling seasons, each season calling for a different type of gear. The T.tiburu_s7s fall into the median "Fall" range, meaning they're designed for use in 50 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit. (You can view the full ALS chart here. It's a helpful seasonal guide, even if you're not using Assos gear.) We find this to be pretty accurate, although you may find them getting too warm in the high 50s. The Assos T.tiburu_s7 Bib Shorts - Men's are available in seven sizes ranging from X-Small to X-Large and including TIR (X-Large Wide) and the color Black Volkanga.

Competitive bib shorts that combine our most advanced S9 platform—developed with years of research and WorldTour feedback—with a female-specific design. Durable enough for daily use; engineered specifically for racing. We spent a total of six years developing prototypes and gathering feedback from cycling’s biggest stage, leaving no design choice unexamined and no convention unchallenged. The S9 platform at the heart of the DYORA RS Bib Shorts is the result. The shorts combine textiles and technology in an interwoven network of wrapping compression, silky comfort, and tensile pre-load to keep everything from the leg panels to the DYORA RS Insert securely in place. These bib shorts are an uncompromising solution that strikes an impossible balance between aerodynamics, durability, and silky comfort for long training rides and hammerfest crits alike.

Thermal bib shorts for training and racing in the cool, dry conditions of spring and fall. These shorts are built for cyclists committed to the racing and training program, regardless of falling temperatures. BEHIND THE PRODUCT These bib shorts are appropriate for cooler temperatures that don’t yet warrant knee or full-leg coverage. The thermal insulation is reinforced with inclusions (the twinDeck construction on the crotch panel) and omissions (we left out the kraterCooler chamois ventilation in that same panel) designed to preserve core warmth without providing too much coverage. The balance of warmth and breathability recommend these shorts for tempo efforts and base miles in cool temperatures, and the addition of warmers—secured with the shorts’ Ultralight Leg Grippers—lets them follow the mercury still further down the thermometer.

All ASSOS’ cycling expertise condensed into a premium all-road/MTB bib short. The T.rallyShorts_s7 provide superior off road performance and protection. Over four decades of cycle apparel making experience brought to bear on an off-road specific bib short. Known in the road cycling world for producing premium clothing for dedicated riders, ASSOS didn’t simply aggregate existing knowledge, but also added a series of off road specific innovations. Among these is the light and flexible impactPad system. Providing confidence boosting protection without inhibiting movement, the pads themselves are made of viscoelastic polyurethane foam and fit smoothly inside of the shorts. Covering key areas in the event of a crash, their 8mm thick padding is perforated to increase breathability. Removable as your level of confidence dictates, when used without the impactPads the T.rallyShorts_s7 cycling shorts are indistinguishable from traditional alternatives. At the center of the T.rallyShorts_s7 is an off-road/MTB specific insert. These premium bib shorts offer the freedom of movement necessary for dynamic off-road riding, yet remain tailored enough to race in. Constructed from a custom-developed fabric to provide anatomical comfort and muscle supporting compression, the T.rallyShorts_s7 are more than tough enough for the rigors of off-road/MTB/gravel riding. Any time you head away from the tarmac choose the T.rallyShorts_s7 cycling bib shorts. These padded shorts are ideally suited to summer riding. Adding kneeWarmers can extend their use into colder seasons. Applying ASSOS antibacterial, anti-friction Chamois Crème prior to riding in these shorts ensures optimal comfort on longer rides.
