Assos EQUIPE R Bib Shorts S11 - Black Series

The EQUIPE R Bib Shorts S11 are Assos engineering distilled into a pared‑back racing short for riders who need second‑skin compression, stability and efficient cooling day after day. Positioned as the core of Assos Racing Series, the S11 generation brings trickle‑down textiles and fit refinements to a simpler construction that retains WorldTour‑informed shaping. The result is a short that feels purposeful in hard group rides, criteriums and fast training sessions.

Construction centres on the Type.911 warp‑knit textile across the leg and core. Type.911 provides a silky, abrasion‑resistant surface with strong, muscle‑wrapping compression that helps reduce vibration and fatigue over long, high‑intensity efforts. The fabric is hydrophobic and quick‑drying, so it sheds moisture and helps maintain a consistent microclimate against the skin in warmer conditions.

Fit and stability come from Assos racingFit patterning and the X‑Frame bib suspension. The racingFit is aerodynamic and longer in the leg than a regular fit, giving a smooth line at speed and predictable support for the large thigh muscles. Raw‑cut leg cuffs with a skinGrip finish and a minimal silicone grip keep the hem secure without extra bulk or tight seams. The bib straps are simplified for racing utility, anchoring the kit while reducing pressure on the shoulders.

Comfort on the saddle is handled by the purpose‑designed EQUIPE R S11 insert. Built as a breathable 9 mm racing platform with 3D Waffle perforation and a Shock‑Absorb damping system, the insert balances low volume with effective pressure distribution. goldenGate 2.0 floating attachment reduces friction by letting the pad move with the body rather than against it. Together these elements deliver a lower‑profile, ventilated feel that suits aggressive positions and repeated high‑intensity efforts.

Key Features
