The Assos short-sleeved race jersey, tested during the WorldTour and redesigned with a more aerodynamic cut along the arms, guarantees 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 snug fit, which adapts to the body like a second skin. The texture of the new material promotes aerodynamics during aggressive pedaling positions, reducing friction along the profile of the body. The main fabric of the shirt, miniCheck Tex, is the same used for the previous model and guarantees ultra-light and ultra-breathable comfort, as well as enveloping compression support, while the PILtec Plug-In technology, which combines a very light strip of fabric with Silicone micro-lugs anchor the jersey to the back and stabilize it during out-of-the-saddle rides, sprints and turns, even when the fabric is damp or wet.
Technology overview
The peculiarities
Fabrics : MiniCheck Tex, a 3D loose-knit fabric, offers high breathability, elasticity, UPF 25 protection and the characteristic texture of Assos jerseys 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 suggest applying a little sunscreen before putting the jersey on. It also ensures greater stability, preventing the fabrics from moving and sagging when the pockets are full. The sleeves are made of the new warp-knit 550CX fabric, which provides UPF 35 protection and is characterized by aerodynamic properties and a cut with two-way elasticity that hugs the muscles.
Construction : Assos racingFit is an aerodynamic, second-skin fit, designed and proven in racing conditions with input from WorldTour cyclists. The compression fabrics, the micro-adaptive shape and the raw-cut, low-bulk hems make racingFit the perfect collection for those who love speed.
Engineering :
-
Raw Cut & Bonded : The sleeves, hem and zip all have a raw cut taped hem, eliminating transition creases and preserving the clean, elegant lines of the shirt.
-
Triple Ramp Pockets : Flexible fabric panels sewn into the pockets create folds that lock and stabilize the contents, while protecting them from precipitation or splashes of water rising from the road surface.
-
PILtec Plug-In : The back hem features a very light strip of ultra-breathable fabric combined with silicone micro gussets, a treatment that stabilizes the back panel and holds the shirt in place even when the fabric is damp or wet.
