Assos Equipe RS Spring Fall S9 - Bib Tights with Pad

The Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Tights S9 are lightly insulated, race-cut bib tights for training days on both sides of winter, built on Assos' S9 platform for maximum stability and frictionless comfort during full-gas efforts.

Insulating and pleasantly soft: the padded Equipe RS Spring Fall S9 bib tights by ASSOS

While the EQUIPE RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts and leg warmer combination yields the same coverage and arguably added versatility, there are certain days a classic full-length tight is without compare. This silhouette provides a seamless wrap and consistent insulation levels throughout the lower body during all-day training sessions, with the smoothest transition possible at the lower leg hem.

For spring/fall conditions that warrant full-leg coverage, pair these tights with your Spring Fall Socks and Booties for consistent levels of lower body protection and insulation. These tights also stand in as the appropriate lower body layer in mild winter conditions.

The tights’ main textile is OSMOS Light, the lowest-volume material in Assos' fleece-backed OSMOS family. The brushed interior is lightly insulating, breathable, and super soft against our skin. The warpknit outer acts as the “shell” of the tights, further supporting your leg muscles with its compressive structure. Together, these two components of the textile create a nice compressive hold on our legs, encouraging positive circulation and uniform warmth throughout. Knowing that the wind-facing front panel takes the brunt of the elements, we overlapped a second layer of OSMOS Medium, as this patented twinDeck construction locks out the cold air, while still remaining breathable.

Constructed using the S9 raceFit platform, the tights employ the A-Lock Engineering framework for maximum stability and to secure the insert in place as you pedal. The rollBar bib straps and ergoBox join forces as your weight transfers in the saddle, ensuring frictionless comfort and stability during high-output efforts.

Features - Equipe RS Spring Fall S9

• A-Lock Engineering: The S9 system combines materials and manufacturing processes to stabilize the tights and prevent slippage of the insert
• Osmos Light: This jersey is used mainly for these tights. It is the lightest brushed material in the entire Osmos family, with asymmetric stretch and a soft, durable structure. A high level of insulation is provided thanks to the brushed interior
• blasenSchutz: An abdomen and crotch panel made with our double-layer twinDeck fabric construction to boost insulation, used in a combination of Fiamma and OSMOS Medium
• RollBar: ASSOS' unique, patented design, in which ASSOS is based on the stabiliser of a racing car. The carriers act as stabilisers while you shift your weight from left to right when cornering
• ErgoBox: A square fabric panel that effectively frames the insert on the back for added stability
• Butterfly Pattern: The biggest part of the fabric caresses the lower back and the legs and runs together at the back. The small number of seams promises a more uniform hold, less weight and improved comfort
• Carbon Xbib: A single batch of elastic material that has been folded down to form a strong A-shaped frame and offers limited vertical stretch at the back. Above the "X" junction, a more flexible material was used that features an antibacterial carbon fabric that wicks away moisture and lies flat on the front
• Equipe RS insert (without kraterCooler): Specially designed for racing use in 3D basalt colours without the kraterCooler air holes on the front side for more warmth and protection
• Reflective details
• Breathable
• Seat pad: Equipe RS
  • SuperAir microShock foam layer
  • 3D waffle
  • ASSOS goldenGate
  • Horizontal stabilizer
  • Mod.Dep S9 Basalt
• ASSOS Clima Range: Spring Fall 2/3
• Fit: Slim Fit

Technologies

Equipe RS
The insert of the S9 generation combines expertise, engineering skills, high-quality materials and perfect workmanship. The centre is made of superAir 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, supported by 3D waffle, a patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight. The patented goldenGate technology interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area. The horizontal stabilizer, a patented central stitch that secures the rear of the insert to the outer textile, eliminates shifting while pedaling. Mod.Dep S9 Basalt, a antibacterial microfiber booster top sheet, gives the seat pad its color.

AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design)
Stand for the company's know-how, experience and philosophy on how a garment should be tailored to function in the cyclist's position. ASSOS garments are designed to perfectly fit and adhere to the body, in other words, to respect the anatomy of the cycling body. High-tech fabrics are pointless if cut "wrong"!

ALS (ASSOS Layering System)
Less is more. The entire ASSOS collection is conceptualized around this technology. ASSOS apparel is engineered with minimum volume, taking advantage of the body's natural heating/cooling capacities by insulating intelligently through pro-active layering. Both fabrics and garments have chain functions and are cut to complement each other. Everything fits like a puzzle; technically as well as aesthetically. It is up to each cyclist to follow the climate range guidelines and to experiment with the different ASSOS garments in order to find the perfect personal outfit for each specific riding season.
