Product Data

Road: Yes

Exceed Expectations

Racing at the highest level puts extreme demands on riders and their kit, what with the hours of movement, changes of weather, climbing and descending, changes of the road surface and constant in and out of the saddle accelerations. This level of performance requirements has pushed Assos' engineers to create a host of new comfort-focused features which can meet and exceed the demands of even the harshest of race conditions. The result is the lightweight Equipe RSR Bib Shorts S9 featuring A-Lock engineering. 

A-Lock Engineering

A-Lock engineering is all about using new fabrics and technologies to create a short with incredible stability and a seat insert that is perfectly positioned at all times. The start of this system is a new fabric, Type.701kompressor. This is a patented complex woven textile that uses ultrathin yarns which are extremely elastic, delivering a near-frictionless weave to provide you with luxurious comfort and incredible muscle support. It's akin to a second skin such is its fit, performance and flexibility. Pedalling has never felt easier. 

Assos S9

Float like a Butterfly

The next phase of the A-Lock engineering system is significant advances in the panel and construction design, leading to incredibly stable shorts and seat insert. Firstly the panelling, the class-leading S7 shorts used a four-panel construction, whereas the S9 now features just two. The result of using just two panels is a reduction in seams leading to less weight and more comfort. Those two panels are then engineered into Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort no matter how intense your efforts.

Brace Yourself 

The bib straps also get completely redesigned, a combination of highly elastic materials and a single piece in the back forming an A-frame which supports the shorts perfectly. In the front, the straps are made of a more flexible material, with an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat - the result are straps you will barely notice and with a reduction in weight and bulk even more freedom of movement. 

S9 Insert

S9 Insert

At the heart of the S9 Shorts is the S9 insert, taking race-focused comfort to a whole new level. Assos use an incredibly soft antibacterial microfiber next to the skin and when combined with the kraterCooler ventilation holes at the front of the pad you're guaranteed all-day freshness. Next comes a 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam which both boosts breathability and reduces weight and bulk. Lastly, the superAir microShock foam core offers incredible shock absorption and memory return, it re-adapts to your body position every time you shift weight, leading to unrivalled support when in and out of the saddle. A pad designed for the rigours of the World Tour so you get the very best comfort possible. 

In conclusion, Assos has once again redefined what high-performance race shorts are, pushing fabric and engineering technology to new levels. Their finest fitting and most comfortable shorts to date, letting you push your performance beyond your expectations. 

About the Assos brand

Assos are one of the world's pioneers and specialists in producing high quality cycling clothes and accessories. They are located in a region of Switzerland that has maintained a long standing tradition in first class textile engineering. In the 1970's, Toni Maier-Moussa, founder and chairman of Assos accidently invented lycra cycling clothing, whilst trying to create the ultimate bicycle. During the wind tunnel tests of the first ever carbon-fibre bike, Toni inadvertently found that lycra downhill ski racing suits had much less drag than the woolen-knitted cycling clothes of the time. To this day Assos firmly believe in total product competence, delivering optimum function and comfort, by researching and making its cycling clothing and accessories from the very best materials.

Assos Equipe RSR Bib Shorts S9 is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 3 out of 5 by drp71 from Average Have been using these for bigger distances. For the price the quality is average, Pads Ok over bigger distances, the legs come up very long.. And the elastic is starting to fray around the grippers. No where near as good as the previous incarnation which I still use for a full day out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike250 from Best Bib Shorts I've owned Great fit (I'm 184cm, 87kg, bought L), really comfortable (a few 3 hour rides so far) - expensive, but you get what you pay for - wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair. Great service from Wiggle - despite COVID-19 disruptions shorts delivered on time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bfaz from At this price you’d expect it to be good... This is by far the most I’ve spent on a pair of bibs. And was a bit impulsive. I’ve got various assos bibs (equipe - great; cento - too short; tiburu - go to winter bibs) and various other brands (eg sportful - best vfm IMO; rapha - don’t get on with them). There’s no doubt these are the most comfortable bibs I’ve ever had. They’re longer than assos legs have been for years, which at 6’2” is a very good thing - I found the centos were like hot pants and the equipes just about ok. And the padding is the useful high quality you expect from assos except even better - there’s no unnecessary material at all. The advertising blurb makes a lot about a single panel construction. Tbh I’m not sure I’d have noticed if there were two panels, but the blurb also talks of a new Lycra material, and whatever it is it’s great. Figure hugging but not restrictive, and light and airy. If you’re looking at these you’ve probably got the cash to throw at a pair of bibs. If you have - you won’t be disappointed.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Andrew2103 from If you like pain buy these It may be unfair to say these shorts are uncomfortable as I'm sure it is most likely they just don't suit me, but that said, these have to be the most painful experience I have had on a bike. I have 5 pairs of the Campianissimmo S7 shorts, a couple of pairs of the Bonka tights and a couple of pairs of the T.Cento S7 shorts and they are all far more comfortable than these shorts (for me). The pad on these has reverted back to something similar to the S5 and that in the T.Cento S7, but there seems to be a difference in the pad spacing in the perineal area. On the T.Cento the 2 pads that are in that area are quite close together whereas on these shorts the pads are spaced further apart. This seems to allow the saddle to come up in between the pads eventually causing a lot of pain. One 60 mile ride was enough to convince me that there was no way I would subject myself to these again. That said, I can't fault the quality, usual Assos premium product, although they don't feel quite as sleek as the S7 shorts, especially the Campianissimmo, but then they are in a different league. They may suit you but I would definitely say 'buyer beware'.

Are these race fit?

Hi there I normally use the older T.equipe_s7 model, which had a race type fit. Are these similar in a fit or would I need to go for a smaller size than my normal medium in the T.equipe_s7? Thanks Rich
Asked by: Richmaynejersey
Yes these are a Race fit as per the older version. Assos tends to come up a little small so we would advise that you go for a size up in these to get the best fit.
