OFFROAD seat pad : made with a higher amount of memory foam than the road version, this pad perfectly combines comfort and performance. A central element of the cut is the patented Elastic Interface system, invented by ASSOS, which allows the seat pad to follow the body's movements, actuating friction and increasing comfort. The position and increased rear thickness of the seat pad of the OFFROAD XC bib shorts have been meticulously optimized to suit the more direct riding position of mountain biking.
Type.429 Titanium : a unique, expertly structured fabric that uses four-way stretch for optimized stretch properties.
DyneRope Fabric : The entire side panels are made of the new form-fitting DyneRope fabric, with a black polyethylene ripstop weave. The strongest fiber in the world, 15 times stronger than steel. Lightweight and cut resistant. This material has been placed where runners' legs are most at risk of abrasion during impacts.
Design aeroPatterningFenomeno1 : Drawing on all the expertise we gained while designing the fastest body for the 2012 London Olympics, we've created a technical design that stands out as soon as you've put it on. The patent-pending single seam, located on the back of the legs, allows the main fabric to hug the thigh to offer a unique level of comfort in our S7 generation of shorts.
BibTech toilet roll holder Y7 : Another notable difference in our S7 generation of shorts is the bibs themselves. The wider elastic than the components, in fact, exerts less pressure on the shoulders. Thanks to this design, the shorts reduce skin friction and improve comfort.
The seat pad is made with ASSOS goldenGate technology , which interrupts the seam line between the legs to offer three-dimensional freedom of movement in the most sensitive area of the body. Thanks to the smaller number of gaskets, this design reduces the risk of skin friction. This patent-protected feature is an essential element of our S7 generation of shorts.
The ASSOS honeycomb structure , first used on the S5, has been perfected for the S7. Rather than using a linear, one-piece foam as a midlayer, the S7 features a perforated foam that reduces weight while improving breathability.
Double bibStabilizer : a valuable feature of the bibs that offers stability during the most intense efforts, renewed with a double design for a safer off-road ride. It also doubles as a Zegho sunglasses holder. odorControl : the shorts have been treated with an antibacterial finish.
Anti-slip elements on the legs specific for mountain biking Mountain biking can be challenging: it requires more effort from the legs, and therefore it is essential to use more compression and adaptability to push uphill.
CROSS-COUNTRY OFF-ROAD RACING LINE : At ASSOS, we understand that the fit of your gear is crucial to ensuring optimal performance. When we design a product for extreme weather conditions, like racing, we use a tighter fit and slightly more compression. While riding it feels like a second skin, although it can limit movement when the cyclist is not in the China position. This way we are able to guarantee better performance and greater comfort, while at the same time ensuring skin chafing.
