FAQs

What is the main advantage of the new QUARTZ textile?

The new QUARTZ textile is lighter, more durable, offers permanent odor control, and maintains a deep black color that resists fading, enhancing comfort and longevity.

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the shorts feature a more breathable insert and lightweight textiles designed to improve ventilation and comfort, making them suitable for warm conditions.

How does the rollBar bib strap technology improve performance?

The rollBar bib straps, adapted from racing technology, help stabilize the insert and maintain a secure fit, preventing shifting during intense cycling efforts and providing consistent support.

What is the intended use for the Mille GT Bib-Shorts S11?

These shorts are designed as a core endurance model, ideal for daily training, long rides, and general cycling utility, offering a balance of comfort, performance, and durability.

How should I care for my Assos bib-shorts to ensure they last?

Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C with mild detergent, and drip dry in the shade. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and tumble drying to preserve the fabric and chamois.

What makes the leg opening grip updated?

The leg openings have an updated grip system designed to keep the shorts securely in place on the leg without causing excessive pressure or discomfort, contributing to a modern silhouette.

Is this a racing-specific short?

While it incorporates racing technology like the rollBar bib straps, the Mille GT line is positioned as Assos' core endurance model, focusing on comfort and utility for everyday riding and longer distances.

Troubleshooting

Bib straps feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the straps are correctly oriented over your shoulders and not twisted. If discomfort persists, the size may be incorrect, or the shorts may need more break-in time.

Leg grippers are sliding up.

Check that the leg length is appropriate for your anatomy and that the grippers are seated correctly on the leg. Ensure the shorts are not too loose overall. Wash the shorts as the grippers can sometimes lose grip if they have residual product on them.

Insert feels uncomfortable or bunched.

Ensure the shorts are the correct size and pulled up fully. The insert should align correctly with your anatomy. Allow a few rides for the insert to mold to your shape.

Fabric losing its elasticity or shape.

Follow care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying, harsh detergents, and over-stretching. Proper washing and drying are crucial for maintaining fabric integrity.
