FAQs

What is the primary intended use for these bib shorts?

The Assos Mille GT Bib-Shorts S11 are primarily designed for endurance cycling, offering comfort and performance for long rides, training sessions, and touring.

How does the new QUARTZ textile differ from previous versions?

The new QUARTZ textile is lighter, more durable, offers permanent odor control, and maintains a deeper true-black color compared to previous iterations. It also provides enhanced breathability.

What is the purpose of the rollBar bib straps?

The rollBar bib straps are adapted from Assos's racing line to stabilize the insert and keep it locked in place as you transfer weight during dynamic riding efforts like sprinting or climbing.

How thick is the GT S11 insert?

The GT S11 insert is a 12mm endurance platform designed with compressive foam layers for support and comfort on long rides.

Can these bib shorts be used in wet weather?

Yes, the leg grippers with microdot silicone treatment are designed to maintain grip and stability in both wet and dry conditions.

What temperature range are these bib shorts best suited for?

These bib shorts are recommended for warm conditions, specifically temperatures above +21°C, due to their breathable textiles and insert design.

How should I care for my Assos Mille GT Bib-Shorts S11?

Wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C with mild detergent. Hang to air dry and avoid tumble drying, bleach, or ironing. Do not dry clean.

Troubleshooting

Bib straps feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The rollBar design is meant to be snug to stabilize the insert. If discomfort persists, double-check the fit and consider if the size is appropriate for your body shape.

Chafing or irritation from the insert

Verify the shorts are the correct size and the insert is positioned correctly. Apply a thin layer of chamois cream to the insert or your skin. Ensure the shorts are clean, as dirt can exacerbate irritation. If the issue persists after several uses, the insert shape may not be compatible with your anatomy.

Leg grippers are slipping

Ensure the legs are pulled down fully and evenly. Make sure the skin on your thighs is clean and dry before putting on the shorts. If the problem continues, ensure the shorts are the correct size; if too large, the grippers may not make sufficient contact.

Shorts feel uncomfortable after extended wear

Confirm the zeroPressure waist is sitting correctly and not rolling down. Ensure the regularFit is not too tight. Long rides can reveal subtle fit issues; ensure proper sizing and consider if the chamois cream application is adequate.
