ASSOS PRO SHOP

The evolution of our superlight, packable waterproof rain jacket, featuring a more robust membrane and fewer seams throughout for increased protection during year-round training and racing. The TARGA stands in as the third iteration of our flagship EQUIPE RS Rain Jacket, returning with a more durable black membrane sandwiched in the middle of the 3L Schloss Tex material. In addition to being a touch more watertight, it also adds increased durability to this ASSOS-exclusive ultrathin softshell. We also removed the rear pocket slots, as the contents of your pockets are easily reached by unzipping the double-slider zipper from the bottom. This, in conjunction with the new stitchless reflective strip down the center of the back, ensures there are no points of water ingress along the back.

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.

A new solution for women’s cycling: comfortable, performance-tuned bib shorts that allow natural breaks without removing jerseys, vests, or shells. The new women’s UMA GTV Bib Shorts—engineered to remove all obstacles with a quick-release magnetic closure system, silky-smooth compression, and a plush memory-foam insert. More freedom and added comfort during your longest rides. ASSOS PATENT TEC BISICLICK WHAT? An intuitive technology quick release magnetic closure system at the rear for women's cyclicng that anchor the x-frame lower bib straps. WHY? Engineered to remove all obstacles during the longest rides, bisiclick allows natural breaks without removing jerseys, vests or shells. HOW? The straps can be easily detached from the shorts at the rear. Intuitive to connect and release, but secure enough to prevent unintentional unclasping. Features FEATURED FABRICS Ossidia sheds grams without sacrificing elasticity, compression, or UV protection (UPF 50+). Odor control and active cooling are permanently integrated into the material itself, not applied as a topical treatment. A Tech Sheen Mesh insert stretches across the lower belly, accommodating aggressive bar drop and deep breathing during hard efforts. CONSTRUCTION/FIT C2 AEPD regularFit is based on our performance race models but tuned for comfort with a Zero-pressure waist. Streamlined performance for all-day cycling in our standard leg length. BISICLICK The Bisiclick twin magnetic closures anchor the X-Frame lower bib straps. MICROSHOCK 9mm of lightweight shock-absorbing memory foam. 3D WAFFLE A next-to-skin, 3-layer perforated foam for superior breathability.

Assos' flagship WorldTour bib shorts for racing, dedicated training, and cyclists who appreciate how meticulous engineering and refined equipment can help athletes achieve higher performance. BEHIND THE PRODUCT The “TARGA” classification indicates a foundational redesign of our EQUIPE RS S9 platform. The reengineering process increased performance and comfort, shed unnecessary bulk and grams, and decreased drying time—which ensures perspiration doesn’t add mid-ride weight by lingering in textiles. We also incorporated a panel of Ossidia material across the lower abdomen, adding stretch to better accommodate aggressive bike positions, expand with deep breathing during hard efforts, and relieve pressure for taller cyclists seeking an aerodynamic, second-skin fit. TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW THE FINER DETAILS FEATURED FABRICS Type.441 is a gently compressive, silky smooth material that feels more abrasion-resistant than your typical bib short material because it is. It also actively cools while protecting against UV rays and resisting odor. Ossidia is a high-stretch material that enhances breathability while strategically relieving pressure on sensitive areas. CONSTRUCTION/FIT Our AEPD racingFit realized for bib shorts with our standard leg length. Every fabric panel, strap, and stitch is engineered for stability, comfort, and second-skin performance. ASSOS shorts are legendary; this fit design is why. A-LOCK ENGINEERING External rollBar bib straps lock the insert in place, boosting stability while cornering, climbing, and sprinting. OSSIDIA Second-skin aerodynamics and race-tuned compression with strategic pressure relief on sensitive areas. TYPE.441 Proprietary textile wraps large muscles with a fatigue-reducing compressive hold. SUPERLIGHT LEG GRIPPERS Lightweight, aerodynamic security without restriction or transitional ridges between body and shorts.

Mountain bikers need clothing solutions too, so we set about extending our premium, mountain bike-specific OFFROAD collection. Our apparel engineering team were tasked with the challenge of creating a breathable yet durable short that has signature ASSOS performance yet doesn’t break the bank. The result of their hard work is these XC-specific bib shorts, for which we just can’t find enough superlatives. Employing the ripstop, high abrasion resistant and breathable dyneRope fabric (which is stronger than steel), these shorts have been put through their paces by the BMC MTB Racing Team’s best riders. And with such stringent world class testers giving their approval, it’s clear that the pedigree of these shorts has already been confirmed. The result is a tough, lightweight and highly breathable pair of shorts that are perfect for the toughest XC trails. According to the team, the dyneRope on the outside of the legs wicks sweat like no other, delivering a seriously world-class performance that saw the riders sweep the team standings at the 2017 UCI MTB World Cup series. But no matter how hard you’re pushing while riding off-road, there’s always a need for superior ASSOS comfort in the saddle so we’ve opted for our opulent MTB-specific insert. Placed a little further forward than its road counterpart, it is tuned for the steepest climbs and sickest flow trails with memory foam. From the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup to your home trails, it’s time to hit the dirt.

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.
