Assos GTO Bib Shorts S11

Description

The Assos GTO S11 Bib Shorts are the most luxurious endurance bib shorts in the Assos collection, engineered for exceptional comfort on the longest rides. Every component has been selected to minimise pressure points while delivering outstanding support, making them ideal for riders spending long hours in the saddle.

Soft yet supportive fabrics contour naturally to the body, while the flagship S11 insert offers premium cushioning and reduced friction over extended distances. The refined construction creates a smooth, unrestricted fit that remains comfortable throughout demanding endurance rides.

Who is it for? The GTO S11 is designed for endurance cyclists, gran fondo riders and anyone seeking maximum comfort without compromising performance. The fit is close and supportive but less aggressive than the Equipe raceFit, making it suitable for long-distance riding where comfort is the priority.

FEATURED FABRICS – The primary textile, OSSIDIA, strikes the ideal balance between frictionless comfort and muscle-supporting compression. Its warp-knit construction incorporates ultrathin elastic yarns for gentle, fatigue-reducing compression and body-mapping elasticity that wraps your large muscle groups in silky-smooth comfort. An insert of LOSANGA on the crotch panel eliminates pressure and increases cooling airflow.

CONSTRUCTION/FIT The Assos GTO bib uses regularFit, engineered for total comfort on the longest rides. The GTO model is upgraded with cranKio Tec, targeted shaping on the hip that eliminates bunching during the pedal stroke.

rollBar: A patented bracing design adapted from the Racing Series. Stabilises the insert and locks it in place as your weight transfers while sprinting, climbing, and cornering.

INject leggripper: Silicone grip infused through the back of the raw-cut leg opening, reducing friction and protecting the grip from sun or sweat damage while maintaining secure hold.

cranKio Tec: Reduces wrinkling across the front of the hips during the pedal stroke to eliminate movement and friction between the textile and the rider.

zeroPressure Waist: A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.

GTO S11 Insert – Shock-Absorb Damping System Twin: A dual-layer, 21mm construction with additional support beneath the ischial bones.

goldenGate 2.0: The insert is attached at front and rear, letting it float to move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.

kraterCooler: Perforations in the insert’s leading edge draw intercooling air to maintain breathability and a dry, cool microclimate.

whirlKrater: Perforations strategically distributed throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow instead of just a unidirectional breeze.
