Description
The Legend Lives On
The Assos Men's Equipe R Bib Shorts S9 are the definitive bib shorts for competitive, committed cyclists from the company that originally defined the racing shorts genre—and continues to lead in driving it forward.
It's only fitting that the latest generation of Assos inserts—the most advanced available from any manufacturer—is partnered with bib shorts completely re-engineered, with no design choice taken for granted or left unquestioned. The resulting bib shorts are atypically advanced—which makes them typically Assos.
The shorts combine textiles and technology in an interwoven network of wrapping compression, silky comfort, and tensile pre-load to keep everything from the leg panels to the insert securely in place. It's taken six years of in-house development and testing by WorldTour riders, but the EQUIPE RS S9 Bib Shorts are the definitive statement in cycling shorts from Assos.
Features:
- Type.443 is a gently compressive, silky smooth, highly abrasion-resistant material that also actively cools while protecting against UV rays and resisting odor.
- A-Lock Engineering is the S9 racingFit realized for bib shorts. Every fabric panel, strap, and stitch is engineered for stability and confident comfort.
- The main textile panel butterfly pattern wraps the lower back and legs, reducing seams and providing a more uniform compression across the shorts' body.
- Carbon Xbib: an A-frame bib that limits vertical stretch in the rear, ensuring a confident fit and stabilizing the chamois and main body panel.
- The leg bands feature a silicone treatment woven through the bands themselves, creating a secure hold without restriction or lumpy transitional ridges.
- Equipe R Inserts feature an antibacterial microfiber booster top sheet in 3D basalt colorway.
- goldenGate: a stitching pattern that anchors the front and back but lets the insert's body float, allowing the insert to move with your body rather than against it.
- superAir microShock foam: a light, shock-absorbing foam that springs back to its original shape, filling the gaps that open and close between body and insert during the pedal stroke.
- kraterCooler: perforations in the insert's leading edge that draw air across the insert to maintain cooling breathability on hot summer days.
- Assos 2-Year Warranty
- 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane

Reviews
The Equipe S9 bibs are definitely the first thing I recommend to people looking for a reasonably priced bib short. The S11 and RSR can be $280 and $310 at full price, and the S9 are $210. I got mine on sale at WBW for ~$170, so it was an even better bang for the buck. I have all three of the S24 Equipe bibs: S11, RSR, and R. All three are excellent and have the revolutionary chamois design. The Equipe R is a great value, upper-mid range bib that has almost all of the characteristics of the RSR, without the price tag. The design is a bit more updated and similar to the S11, but doesn't have the raw-cut finish. Still have excellent fit and body support. Legs are slightly longer than the S24 S11 in the Regular cut, and there is an elastic band lined with small gripper dots. The S11 only have dots on the back of the leg, and are larger and fewer in contrast. If you're not looking to spend $250+ on bibs, this is the way.
