ASSOS Equipe RS Bib Shorts S9
Characteristics
Thanks to six years of development and our most advanced racewear insert to date, the Equipe RS bib shorts S9 open up new avenues, by combining unprecedented stability and comfort in this clothing designed for speed.
The S9 model heralds the future of race-proven comfort and was designed based on a completely new concept, which itself was developed from scratch. Even after years of testing and reviews from other riders at the highest levels of the sport, we continue to see that even the most advanced method is only as good as the frame that supports it. Think of the tight turns you ride, the pedaling you do whether in the saddle or standing up, and think of all the hours spent repositioning your body that have a huge impact on your shorts along with the functionality of their inserts. And finally, don't forget the comfort they offer you.

30% less seams
Flatter and fewer seams overall have been used throughout the model, making it more comfortable and with less weight (160g RSR)
