Shorts/Bottoms

The definitive bib shorts for competitive, committed cyclists from the company that originally defined the racing shorts genre—and continues to lead in driving it forward. It’s only fitting that the latest generation of ASSOS inserts—the most advanced available from any manufacturer—is partnered with bib shorts completely re-engineered, with no design choice taken for granted or left unquestioned. The resulting bib shorts are atypically advanced—which makes them typically ASSOS. 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 insert securely in place. It’s taken six years of in-house development and testing by WorldTour riders, but the EQUIPE RS S9 Bib Shorts are the definitive statement in cycling shorts from the cycling shorts company.

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. Assos sees 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.

The HK.Laalalaiknickers_S7 Lady from Assos give you a new generation of comfort for those slightly cooler days. - Pattern for the cut of the lower leg increases the comfort and fit of these knickers - Using all of the innovations found in their H.laalaLaiShorts_S7, these bring you all the comfort of the S7 platform - S7 generation insert brings you to the next level of performance on the bike - Made with their type.439 material, these knickers strike the balance between comfort and compression for superior performance

We like a comfortable bib short that's compressive, but not restricting. When we're riding up a canyon with burning thighs and the will to power through, the last thing we want is discomfort from our bibs or jersey. Assos designs gear for these moments so athletes can carry on pedaling through the tough stuff without a hitch. The brand's T GTS - Mille GT C2 Bib Short ensures that riders will have a good time on their bike no matter if it's a training session or a Sunday morning ride with the group. Custom fabric blends, a refined insert, and versatile fit ensure lasting comfort on all rides. For a performance-based balance, the Mille elastic interface insert is employed with 13mm of memory foam to ensure cushioning, and a 3D waffle perforated foam increases breathability in turn. Lightly compressive 4-way stretch ensures flexibility in the bib's fabric, and superFlat grippers keep everything in place without excessive pressure. Reflective accents offer additional safety measures in low-light situations.

Short rides, big rides, indoor training, and everything in between—the MILLE GT Half Shorts are willing and able. To live up to their reputation of providing long-distance comfort, they’ve been treated with our proven Type.429 Titanio material, which is a lightly compressive textile with high elasticity, ensuring a comfortable and consistent hold on your legs while pedaling. The insert is the plush MILLE EVO, equipped with 8mm of memory foam, a black 3D waffle topsheet, and now updated with the kraterCooler system to boost breathability. The make or break point of any bib-less short comes down to the waistband design, and the MILLE delivers. The breathable, supersoft Aerofit material at the front, using a fold-over construction that comfortably holds the shorts in place across the abdominals. At the rear section, our tall elastic hem mirrors the superFlat grippers at the lower legs, adding a secure, stay-put fit.

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. Type.429 is flexible enough for a streamlined fit; breathable enough for the heights of summer; compressive enough to respond to and support your body; and substantial enough to resist the abuse of countless kilometers. A true daily workhorse. C2 AEPD regularFit is based on our performance race models but tuned for comfort with a more forgiving Zero-Pressure waist. Streamlined performance for all-day cycling with our standard leg length.

Ideal for those cool fall and spring rides where added knee coverage and a touch of insulation make all the difference, the MILLE GT Spring/Fall Knickers are constructed with a blend of ultrasoft and insulating fabrics, paired with the evolved MILLE GT insert. To make a knicker that would meet the demands of these variable conditions, two custom insulated textiles are added to the design. RX Heavy makes up the majority of the paneling-a beefed-up version of our workhorse RX-featuring an ECO water-repellent treatment for further protection from light precipitation. This fabric ensures the fronts of your legs stay shielded from biting winds and cold air, while the backs of the legs are made up of RX Light for added breathability in this high-flex zone. The fit of the MILLE GT Knickers falls into the 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 leg muscles, knees, and calves while in motion. The insert is the MILLE EVO, featuring 8mm of plush memory foam for dependable comfort on every ride.

GTO marks the pinnacle of the Total Comfort MILLE GT line - spiritual successor to the iconic CENTO and Campionissimo Bib Shorts. It features the plushest, most responsive and breathable ASSOS insert to date, wrapped in our new frictionless, wrinkle-free paneling. The GTO has two leg lengths: STANDARD and LONG (+3cm vs standard). BEHIND THE PRODUCT With large-muscle support, friction, and excessive pressure remaining critical issues on long-duration rides, GTO destroys conventional bib short construction formulas. We reversed stitch lines and radically reshaped the insert to eliminate friction and genital pressure, while providing matchless muscle support with tapered, wrinkle-free leg panels that mirror your personal physique.

Trusted by committed riders the world over, the time-tested MILLE GT Bib Short is defined by its frictionless waist, air-cooling insert, and muscle-wrapping textile. Assos leaned more toward comfort versus race in the bib shorts’ design, which mates a custom fabric blend with their regularFit to result in a performance piece for training, racing, or simply riding in total comfort. Assos built the bib shorts with a lightly compressive textile with high elasticity to ensure a comfortable and consistent hold on your legs while pedaling. At the front waist Assos used a raw cut with taped reinforcement to ensure the cleanest and most comfortable transition possible between the abdominals and front fabric panel. To construct the back panel, Assos recruited their acclaimed design to produce a flat, stable structure that disappears between the shoulder blades for a smooth supportive hold.

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.

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.

A breathable, lightly insulated half knicker engineered for spring/fall conditions when tights are too warm and shorts are too cool. We engineered these knickers for fall and spring rides where knee coverage and a touch of insulation are just the ticket, as they feature a blend of ultrasoft and insulating fabrics, along with our proven female-specific insert and signature regularFit. RX EVO makes up the majority of the paneling. This brushed warp-knit fabric provides exceptional comfort, wicks moisture, adds high levels of insulation, and remains extremely flexible. The waist benefits from ultrasoft warp-knit Aerofit, which is knitted with an open structure for maximum ventilation and featuring high elasticity plus built-in odorControl. The knickers' fabric technology ensures that the fronts of your legs stay shielded from biting winds and cold air, while the backs benefit from added breathability. Its fold-over front panel design at the waist creates a smooth, pressure-free transition between the body and fabric.

Summer-weight knickers that offer extended coverage for UV protection and moisture management, wrapping the legs down to the upper calves in compressive breathability. Assos' new hipClick construction gives the UMA GT Summer Knickers the steady, stabilizing fit of bib knickers but without the layering hassle and discomfort of bib straps. They’re built for long rides in warm conditions, with coverage that extends UV protection, light compression, and moisture management below the knees. The pre-shaped panels and high-stretch qualities conform to the legs without inhibiting the pedal stroke, and the updated UMA GT C2 insert increases endurance comfort with cushioning for a more upright, less aggressive riding position.
