Assos EQUIPE Men's Bib Shorts S11 EF

The EQUIPE S11 EF bib shorts translate Assos race-proven R S11 engineering into a replica kit made for serious road riders and racers. Designed to sit close to the body in a racingFit, these bibs combine compressive Type.911 fabric with targeted construction details to support high-intensity efforts while keeping you cool and focused on the ride.

Type.911 is a warp-knit textile chosen for its stabilising compression, abrasion resistance and fast drying properties. That balance of support and breathability means the shorts hold muscle groups in position without excess heat or moisture build-up. Assos have finished the leg openings with a skinGrip raw-cut cuff and minimal silicone, so the hem stays put under load without creating pressure points.

Fit and suspension are tuned for racing. The X-Frame A-suspension limits lower-back sag, stabilising the body of the short and keeping the insert properly positioned through long climbs and hard sprints. The zeroPressure waist construction conforms to aggressive riding positions, delivering a close aerodynamic silhouette while reducing constriction across the torso.

The EQUIPE R S11 insert is a performance-focused 9mm racing platform. Its three-layer 3D waffle construction improves breathability and reduces weight, while goldenGate 2.0 anchoring lets the pad move with the body instead of against it. Thermoformed shaping and side cut-outs reduce ridges and friction, so the pad supports long efforts without excess bulk or chafing.

Key Features

• Type.911 main fabric - warp-knit, hydrophobic textile for compressive support, quick drying, abrasion resistance, odor control and UPF 50+ protection.
• RacingFit silhouette - second-skin aerodynamic shape developed with WorldTour feedback for racing and high-intensity training.
• 9mm EQUIPE R S11 insert - three-layer 3D waffle construction with goldenGate 2.0 attachment and thermoformed shaping for breathability and low friction.
• X-Frame suspension - A-frame bib construction that stabilises the lower back and insert during hard efforts.
• skinGrip raw-cut cuffs - minimal-profile leg finish that holds position without excessive pressure.
• zeroPressure waist - elastic waist design that conforms in aggressive positions while reducing local pressure.

Ideal For

• Road racers and competitive club riders seeking a race-oriented fit and lightweight, breathable performance.
• Fast group rides and long training sessions where a secure leg hem and stable insert positioning matter.
• Riders who prefer a compressive second-skin short with proven WorldTour-derived construction.
