Assos answers this threat with the bonkaJacketLaalalai, their pinnacle women’s winter jacket, offering high levels of protection and comfort. This is winter riding redefined.

And, an extra level of protection and comfort from an all-new high-stretch external EVA layer. ultra-sonic welding on the cuffs and an incorporated neck warmer area befitting of Assos’ well-known attention to detail.

The Liberty first entered the pro peloton in 2017 in a number of prototype iterations, each based on feedback from BMC Racing Team riders to satisfy what they saw as a gap in their clothing arsenal. After extensive testing, the EQUIPE RS Thermo Rain Jersey, also known as the Liberty, is available as our pro-spec, lightweight, waterproof jersey. As denoted by its internal label, the Liberty is classified as a "rain thermo racing device." We’ve stringently engineered it to be as watertight as necessary, as aerodynamic as possible, and as low volume as needed when performing at your maximum. Unlike conventional approaches to thermal rain jerseys, the Liberty relies on our non-porous Stratagon Light, which remains lightweight and able to perform even when wet. It’s no surprise to us that other World Tour teams have already expressed an interest in purchasing this product for their athletes. ASSOS cycling specific body mapping has informed the precise placement of five textiles, 13 patterns, and 10 components, ensuring the jersey remains aerodynamic while also being immune to wind, rain, and low temperatures. Efforts to elevate the Liberty’s performance are evident in the rear ventilation slots, known as squamoVenTech; the reduction of the number of stitches to minimize the risk of water entering; the double, dual-direction zipper; the large reflective panel on the rear for visibility; three optimally positioned rear pockets lined with a breathable mesh; and taped seams. The Liberty’s distinctive design is based on our latest intel: HI-AMtec (HeatInject - AccessMap). The left chest panel over the rider’s heart benefits from a layer of our Schloss Tex, thereby ensuring additional warmth and improved blood circulation by targeting the source directly. For ASSOS, this is aligned with our objective of reducing volume while riding—ensuring that riders are equipped for all conditions, without extra bulk when racing.

With the 160-gram Equipe RSR Bib Shorts S9, Assos started from scratch and re-engineered the platform as a whole—and came away with the lightest, most comfortable race-spec bib shorts to ever leave their laboratory. These bibs are made with Type 701kompressor material that delivers the perfect combination of compressive hold, durability, soft hand-feel, and the lowest weight possible. In other words, the material becomes your second skin, delivering phenomenal structural hold, breathability, and a silky smooth, uninterrupted wrap along the low back and thighs. Assos' new bracing system works together to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place. The S9 generation incorporates just two panels, with a primary “butterfly” panel fully wrapping the legs and converging in the rear to form the ergoBox structure. This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap that works in conjunction with Type 701 material for the best fit ever produced. The bib straps have also been redesigned using calibrated stretch throughout, with the rear section using a single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming an A-frame in the back. It delivers limited vertical stretch in order to add further stability. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to lay flat and wick moisture. Assos also focused on a single insert platform, which allowed the freedom to reassess what is most crucial to a streamlined, race-spec insert. They reduced the overall footprint to shed additional weight, employed superAir microShock foam with 3D waffle, incorporated the kraterCooler system to increase airflow up front, and took additional measures to anchor the insert at the rear with a patented horizontal stabilizer. The result? Total ASSOS comfort you’ve come to know and trust, stabilized more than ever.

The women’s specific habujacketLaalalai is a remarkable demonstration of the technological ingenuity at Assos. A true winter cycling jacket, it is incredibly light and compact, which makes it supremely practical. To achieve such advanced performance, the habujacketLaalalai employs a selection of Assos’ smartest textiles. Front-facing Stratagon Light ensures great protection from the wind and rain at minimal weight, while the specially developed thermal fabric RXQ requires such low volume that the jacket as a whole can fit in a jersey pocket. However, with the habujacketLaalalai able to perform at up 15 degrees C, it’s rare that you will need to take it off. With such performance and comfort, all wrapped in the stylish grown-up aesthetic of the blackSeries color scheme, you won’t want to.

Cento is synonymous with long-distance comfort, and the latest iteration of this fully loaded bib short takes that sentiment a step further. Enter the T Cento EVO: Assos' favorite comfort fit platform, evolved with an updated insert and refinements throughout. Assos began with the same Type 439 textile for the main panels, as it's incredibly comfortable against the skin. With two different rates of four-way stretch, it also delivers a nice, compressive hold for a smooth, supportive wrap along the thighs. This proprietary fabric provides exceptional breathability, and it rapidly transfers moisture to its quick-drying outer surface. As with the original Cento, the fit is a touch more generous around the lower abdominals than Assos' racingFit options, and they added their new raw-cut zeroWaist to ensure a smooth and comfortable hold on a variety of body types.

The Assos Equipe RS Rain Jacket insulates, protects, and keeps the chill away with its waterproof construction and race-focused cut.

Crafted with Schloss Tex, the latest to come from the Assos Textile Laboratory, a lightweight, flexible, and waterproof fabric with minimal weight. This riding jacket borrows numerous cues from the race-proven sturmPrinz, such as the taped wrists and neck to minimize friction, silicon elastic waistband, and slot pockets that allow access to your regular jersey pockets beneath.

This design effectively frames the insert in place and provides you with an ultra-comfortable wrap on your legs using our Type 441 textile, developed specifically for compressive hold and silky comfort. From here they added their unique rollBar, which mimics a race car’s anti-sway bar by using the bib straps to stabilize the insert as your weight transfers from left to right while cornering. Each strap is sewn into the seam directly above the insert, ensuring it’s under pre-loaded tension at all times. The bib straps have also been redesigned using calibrated stretch throughout, with the rear section using a single section of elastic material—folded over on itself—forming an A-frame in the back. It delivers limited vertical stretch in order to add further stability.

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.
