What is the EF edition, and is it different?

The EF versions carry the EF Pro Cycling team’s 2026 graphics — Assos says the kit is called WE RIDE IN PEACE and nods to early spaceflight suits. Underneath they are the same platform: Assos’s own pages describe the Equipe R and Dyora R EF on the R S11 platform and the Mille GT and Uma GT EF on the GT S11, with the same fabric, insert and fit. So sizing, insert and care are the same as the plain version; choose on looks. Assos’s data does rate the Equipe R and Dyora R EF editions 5/5 for racing and ride intensity (4/5 on the standard versions), and lists them higher (€280 / €250 vs €200).

Equipe R or Equipe RS Schtradivari?

Assos says the Equipe R S11 takes technology from the RS Schtradivari S11 — raw-cut cuffs, a minimal silicone grip and the Type.911 fabric — in a simpler construction; the differences are the insert and the bib-strap construction. The Schtradivari’s RS S11 insert adds a Mineral Tec top sheet and kraterCooler/whirlKrater airflow, and the shorts add cranKio Tec hip shaping and an INject gripper. Both inserts are 9 mm; Assos rates ride intensity 5/5 for the RS and 4/5 for the R. List prices: €250 and €200.

What is Assos’s Racing Series?

Assos files its race bibs under Equipe | Racing (men) and Dyora | Racing (women), and describes the series as its ultimate speed collection: aerodynamic, second-skin cuts; compressive, temperature-regulating fabrics; ultralight designs proven in the WorldTour. Our Equipe R, Equipe RS Schtradivari, Dyora R, Dyora R Spring Fall and Dyora RSV are in it. For long, steadier rides, look at Mille | Endurance (men) and Uma | Endurance (women).

racingFit or regularFit — what’s the difference?

They’re Assos’s two main cuts. racingFit (Equipe and Dyora) is, in Assos’s fit guide, a close, performance-oriented fit with compressive fabrics for high-intensity riding — compared with regularFit it feels noticeably tighter by design. regularFit (Mille and Uma) is a balanced technical fit with moderately compressive fabrics: supportive without the tight feel of the Racing models. Assos uses the same size chart for both, so the difference is the feel, not the size.

How do Assos bib shorts fit, and which size should I pick?

Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, then factor in your height, with the fullest part of your hips as a third reference, and check Assos’s chart in the size guide. Assos cuts its bibs to mirror your body on the bike: it’s normal to feel the straps and fabric pull while standing, and the shorts “click” into place once you’re in the riding position.

Equipe R S11 · 9 mm

Assos’s Equipe R S11 chamois (single layer, 9 mm), with Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9, 3D Waffle and goldenGate 2.0.

Type.911

Assos’s Racing Series warp knit: silky-smooth and abrasion-resistant, with stabilising compression that stays a deep black even when stretched. Assos says it dries quickly and has odorControl and UPF 50+.

racingFit

A second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette shaped with WorldTour input. Micro-adjusted shaping wraps the large muscles in compressive support, in a standard racingFit leg length that Assos says is slightly longer than its regularFit. In Assos’s fit guide, racingFit is a close, performance-oriented fit with compressive fabrics for high-intensity riding; compared with regularFit it feels noticeably tighter by design.

zeroPressure Waist

A highly elastic waist that sits second-skin while reducing pressure in aggressive riding positions.

skinGrip Finish

Raw-cut leg edges with a minimal anti-slip finish keep the legs in place without excess pressure or seams.

X-Frame

An A-frame suspension inherited from the Equipe RS line. It limits sag on the lower back, stabilising the insert and main body panel during high-intensity riding.

Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9

Compressive foam in a single-layer, breathable 9 mm racing platform that keeps volume and weight down. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation.

3D Waffle

A patented, three-layer perforated foam that adds breathability and removes excess weight (Assos).

goldenGate 2.0

A free-floating construction that moves with your body rather than against it; new cut-outs on the wings reduce friction through the pedal stroke (Assos).

Assos: measure the narrowest part of your waist, then factor in your height; use the fullest part of your hips as a third reference. Assos apparel is cut to mirror your body on the bike — it’s normal to feel bib straps and fabric pull while standing; in the riding position the garment clicks into place.

How to measure

Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms. Waist: around your natural waistline. Hips: around the fullest part. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
