Behind the product
The “TARGA” classification indicates a foundational redesign of our EQUIPE RS S9 platform. The reengineering process increased performance and comfort, shed unnecessary bulk and grams, and decreased drying time—which ensures perspiration doesn’t add mid-ride weight by lingering in textiles. We also incorporated a panel of Ossidia material across the lower abdomen, adding stretch to better accommodate aggressive bike positions, expand with deep breathes during hard efforts, and relieve pressure for taller cyclists seeking an aerodynamic, second-skin fit.

Technology overview

The finer details

FEATURED FABRICS

Type.441 is a gently compressive, silky smooth material that feels more abrasion-resistant than your typical bib short material because it is. It also actively cools while protecting against UV rays and resisting odor. Ossidia is a high-stretch material that maintains breathability while strategically relieving pressure on sensitive areas.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT

Our AEPD racingFit realized for bib shorts. Every fabric panel, strap, and stitch is engineered for stability, comfort, and second-skin performance. ASSOS shorts are legendary; this fit design is why.
ENGINEERING

A-Lock Engineering:

Our rollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panel join forces as your weight transfers in the saddle, ensuring frictionless comfort and stability during high-output efforts.
ENGINEERING

Carbon Xbib:

An A-frame suspension design that limits vertical stretch in the rear, ensuring a confident fit and stabilizing the chamois and anchoring the A-Lock system. Dual-face Carbon material reduces drying time compared to the previous, single-side applications.
ENGINEERING

Superlight Leg Grippers:

A lighter update to the Ultralight model. The more open structure and integrated silicone provides unobtrusive hold while increasing airflow.
EQUIPE RS s9 Sundeck insert

An updated insert privileging lost grams, increased cooling, and a minimized footprint. The odor-resistant microfiber top sheet returns in the 3D basalt colorway, which pays homage to the lava stone that gives us strength, stability, and courage. Little else is the same.

Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9:

Compressive foam materials in a 9mm racing platform. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation.

goldenGate:

The stitching pattern anchors the front and back but lets the insert’s body float, allowing the chamois to move with your body rather than against it.

Sundeck Superlight:

A panel of soft, comfort-focused fabric in front of the insert increases airflow and eliminates pressure on the most sensitive areas, allowing a more aggressive fit across the entire garment.

Whirlkrater:

Similar to kraterCooler, but with perforations strategically distributed throughout the insert and even in the foam layers themselves, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow instead of just a unidirectional breeze.
