There is always that time when summer cycling shorts become too light, but the temperatures are not yet low enough to switch to three-quarter cycling shorts. This is why Assos designed the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 for men. These shorts are specially designed for autumn and spring, offering you a short that effectively protects you from the sometimes chilly mid-season temperatures. Equipped with the A-Lock Engineering system, the Equipe RS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S9 ensures you stay in place, no matter the terrain. The brushed interior of these cycling shorts provides quality thermal insulation and great comfort thanks to its very soft feel against the skin. The run-resistant exterior supports your muscles during exertion thanks to its structure that allows good compression of your legs. Finally, the Sphere Ultra fabric of the front panel blocks cold air while allowing good moisture wicking.

Materials: 59% polyamide - 24% polyester - 17% elastane
A-Lock Engineering: S9 generation system that combines technologies and fabrics to stabilize the shorts and keep the insert in place.
Osmos Heavy: This run-resistant fabric is the main material of the shorts and the heaviest in our family of brushed Osmos fabrics. It offers asymmetric stretch, a soft touch, and great durability. The brushed interior provides a high level of insulation.
Sphere Ultra: Fabric used in our twinDeck double-layer construction at the crotch panel for better thermal insulation. Patented two-layer softshell fabric, windproof, waterproof, and breathable. Also features a polyurethane membrane for greater water resistance, maximizing insulation while minimizing bulk.
Elasticity: Two-way stretch
RollBar: Patented reinforcement concept inspired by the stabilizer bars of racing cars, using the shorts' straps to keep the insert in place when you shift your weight from left to right in corners.
ErgoBox: Square-shaped structure that effectively frames the insert at the back for added stability.
Butterfly structure: Main fabric panel wrapping around the lower back and legs, joining at the back. Fewer seams result in more uniform support, reduced weight, and improved comfort.
Carbone Xbib: Single section of elastic material, folded on itself to form an A in the back, providing good support and reducing vertical elasticity at the back. Above the X-cross, more flexible antibacterial carbon fiber material is used to wick away sweat while avoiding creases at the front.
Ultralight non-slip treatment on the legs: New Lycra band structure without silicone treatment that naturally grips the thigh for soft and ultralight support.
Equipe RS insert (without kraterCooler system): Elastic insert in 3D basalt gray color designed for racing, without the kraterCooler ventilation system at the front.
SuperAir microShock foam: Lightweight open-cell foam designed to absorb shocks and return to its original shape, filling the space each time you change position on the saddle by shifting your weight.
3D waffled textile: Patented triple-layer perforated foam that allows the skin to breathe better while eliminating excess weight.
GoldenGate: Patented technology that interrupts the seams along the two side panels of the insert, offering greater freedom of movement in this delicate pivot area.
Horizontal stabilizer: Patented central seam that secures the back of the insert to the outer fabric to prevent the insert from moving when you pedal standing up.
