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.

Standard or long leg — which version is this?

Assos makes the Mille GTS S11, Mille GTO S11 and Equipe RS Schtradivari S11 in two leg lengths: Standard and Long, which Assos makes 3 cm longer. Our Mille GTS and Mille GTO (“ST” in the title) are the Standard versions. For the Schtradivari we list both, Standard and Long, as separate products. The waist-based size chart is the same for both lengths.

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.

Which Assos insert (chamois) is right, and how long a ride is it for?

Assos doesn’t give ride durations; it publishes each insert’s thickness and a 1–5 “ride intensity” rating. Race inserts are thin and firm: Equipe R / Dyora R S11 and Equipe RS S11 use a single 9 mm layer (intensity 4/5 and 5/5). Endurance inserts add cushioning: Mille GT / Uma GT S11 12 mm (3/5), Mille GTS S11 twin 9 + 4 mm (4/5), Mille GTO S11 twin 11 + 10 mm (4/5). Dyora RSV and Uma GTV use 9 mm with 4 mm ultraDistance pads under the sit bones. Thicker isn’t automatically better for long days: Assos builds the 9 + 4 mm RSV for ultra-endurance racing, for riders in an aggressive position.

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.

RS S11 · 9 mm

Assos’s RS S11 chamois (single layer, 9 mm), with Mineral Tec Surface, Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9, kraterCooler, whirlKrater 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

Assos’s definitive speed fit, developed with WorldTour feedback: compressive fabric, micro-adjusted shaping and low-bulk, raw-cut hems. Offered in a standard leg and a Long version, which Assos makes 3 cm longer. 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.

cranKio Tec

Shaping across the front of the hips that reduces wrinkling during the pedal stroke, so the fabric doesn’t move and rub against you.

INject leg gripper

Silicone grip infused only across the back of the raw-cut leg opening: less friction and weight, and the grip is protected from sun and sweat while still holding securely.

Soft compression Module

Body-enveloping, omnidirectional compression and stability, with a waist construction that doesn’t restrict you in aggressive riding positions. Assos says the stretchier Type.911 let it drop the previous generation’s rollBar straps.

Mineral Tec Surface

A soft, very smooth top sheet on the insert that reduces friction and irritation, dries quickly and has permanent odorControl.

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.

kraterCooler

Perforations at the insert’s leading edge draw in cooling air to keep the microclimate dry and cool.

whirlKrater

Perforations spread across the insert create a swirl of cooling airflow instead of a one-way breeze.

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.

Description

Assos’s flagship WorldTour bib short, for racers and fast riders who want the most refined race short Assos makes in the classic Equipe line. The S11 is lighter and cooler than its predecessor: Type.911 fabric, body-mapped compression that let Assos drop the old rollBar straps, and an RS S11 insert with a Mineral Tec surface and kraterCooler/whirlKrater airflow. Not for relaxed, upright riding — for that, look at the Mille range.

RS S11 insert: 9 mm, Mineral Tec top sheet, kraterCooler and whirlKrater airflow
Type.911 fabric and soft compression module; no rollBar needed (Assos)
cranKio Tec hip shaping stops wrinkling in the pedal stroke
INject gripper only at the back of the raw-cut leg
Standard and Long (+3 cm) versions
