The Assos short-sleeve race jersey, tested during the WorldTour and redesigned with a more aerodynamic cut along the arms, ensures greater breathability and freshness in an even lighter structure.
Inside the product: The sleeves of the EQUIPE RS S11 jersey are made from a completely new fabric, much lighter than previous versions but with the same level of compression and a snug fit that adapts to the body like a second skin. The texture of the new material enhances aerodynamics during aggressive pedaling positions, reducing friction along the body's profile. The main fabric of the jersey, miniCheck Tex, is the same used in the previous model and ensures ultra-light and highly breathable comfort, as well as a snug compression support, while the PILtec Plug-In technology, which combines an ultra-light strip of fabric with silicone micro-studs, anchors the jersey at the back and stabilizes it during out-of-saddle efforts, sprints, and turns, even when the fabric is damp or wet.
Technology Overview
The special features
Fabrics: MiniCheck Tex, a 3D wide-knit fabric, offers high breathability, elasticity, UPF 25 protection, and the characteristic Assos mesh texture across the entire front. The pockets are held in place by a Stabilizer V11 back panel, which features breathable fabrics and is so lightweight (UPF 15) that we recommend applying some sunscreen before wearing the jersey. It also ensures greater stability, preventing the fabrics from shifting and sagging when the pockets are full. The sleeves are made from the new 550CX snag-resistant fabric, which provides UPF 35 protection and is characterized by aerodynamic properties and a bidirectional stretch cut that wraps the muscles.
Construction: Assos's racingFit is an aerodynamic and close-fitting cut like a second skin, designed and proven in race conditions with the contribution of WorldTour cyclists. Compression fabrics, micro-adaptive shaping, and raw-edge, low-profile hems make racingFit the perfect collection for those who love speed.
Engineering:
-
Raw Cut & Bonded: The sleeves, hem, and zipper all have a raw-cut taped edge, eliminating transition folds and preserving the clean and elegant lines of the knit.
-
Triple Ramp Pocket: The flexible fabric panels sewn into the pockets create folds that lock and stabilize the contents, while also protecting them from precipitation or water splashes rising from the road surface.
-
PILtec Plug-In: The rear hem is equipped with an ultra-lightweight strip of breathable fabric combined with micro silicone dots, a treatment that stabilizes the panel at the back and keeps the jersey in place even when the fabric is damp or wet.
