Product Information

Full details

The Assos Uma GT Bib Shorts S11 are designed for cyclists seeking comfort and support on daily rides, featuring a streamlined fit and advanced fabric technology for breathability and odor control. A key benefit is the reduced seam construction and the adapted rollBar bracing for insert stability. The main caveat for some may be the endurance-focused design, which might feel less aggressive for pure racing.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the rollBar bracing system?

The rollBar bracing system stabilizes the insert and locks it in place as you transfer weight, which is particularly helpful during intense efforts like sprinting, climbing, or cornering.

How does the QUARTZ textile differ from previous fabrics?

The new QUARTZ textile is lighter, more breathable, features permanent odorControl, and maintains a deep, true-black color that does not turn white or become transparent when stretched.

Is the GT S11 insert suitable for very long rides?

Yes, the GT S11 insert is designed as a 12mm endurance platform with compressive foam and thermo-shaping, making it suitable for long-distance comfort.

Can I wear these shorts in cold weather?

These shorts are optimized for warm conditions (> +21°C). While they can be layered, their primary design is for heat management. For colder weather, Assos offers specialized thermal bib tights.

How should I care for my Assos bib shorts to ensure longevity?

Always machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C with mild detergent, and air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying.

What does 'regularFit' mean for these bib shorts?

RegularFit refers to a cut that is comfortable and body-contouring without being overly compressive, providing a balance of performance and comfort suitable for daily riding and layering.

Will the microdot silicone on the leg openings cause irritation?

The microdot silicone is designed to be low-profile and invisible from the outside, providing grip without causing significant irritation. If irritation occurs, ensure the shorts fit correctly.

Troubleshooting

Bib straps feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Adjust the positioning of the straps over your shoulders. Ensure they are not twisted. If persistent, check the sizing of the bib shorts.

Insert feels uncomfortable or causes chafing.

Ensure the shorts are the correct size and fit snugly. The goldenGate 2.0 construction allows the insert to move with you; try transferring weight slightly differently on the saddle. Always ensure the shorts are clean before riding.

Leg openings are slipping or riding up.

Ensure the microdot silicone grip is clean. Wash the shorts to reactivate the grip. If the issue persists, the size may not be optimal for your leg circumference.

Fabric feels less breathable than expected.

Ensure the fabric is clean and free from sweat or grime, which can impede breathability. Riding in temperatures significantly below the recommended range might also affect perceived breathability.
