The Ultimate Standalone Short For The Discerning Rider
Bibs aren't for everyone, but their absence compounds the difficulty of dialing the perfect ride-tuned fit. The Assos Men's Mille GT C2 Shorts may be the perfect compromise.
The bib-free zeroPressure Waist embodies Assos' C2 AEPD click-fit ethos with a secure hold on the sides and back, and a panel insert on the front stretches to accommodate aggressive positioning on the bike and deep breathing during hard efforts.
The MILLE GT platform is designed for training and endurance cycling. A lack of bibs makes these shorts ideal for indoor cycling, when less is often more.
Assos' Type 429 fabric is flexible enough for a streamlined fit; breathable enough for the heights of summer; compressive enough to respond to and support your body; and substantial enough to resist the abuse of countless kilometers. A true daily workhorse.

Reviews
Overall these a pretty good short and a decent value when on sale. The legs fit well and stay in place. Chamois is pretty good for long distance rides so long as you have a decently cushioned saddle, on a spartan one you'll get discomfort. The chamois could be a bit better in the perineum area.
Where I find these fall a little short is the upper portion above the waistline. I like the concept of the quasi-bib design, but I find that it doesn't stay in place well at all and rolls down even more than traditional-waist shorts in the front when bent at the waist, and the backside portion slips a bit too. I think they could make this have more cinch around the stomach/mid-section with some judiciously placed elastic panels without being constrictive and the concept would work much better.
The most comfy for long rides though rarely I experienced a little chafing from the edge of the chamois which resolved with a small adjustment. The hems so far are tight which is important when worn with leg warmers so these don�t slip down.
This is the first Assos shorts that I have tried and found that they are very comfortable. They have a nice padding and I can ride for hours without any discomfort. The chamois is not tapered at the edges and I was worried that it was going to bunch up in the groin area, but when you are riding, I don't notice any overlapping or discomfort. I used to use Castelli shorts and liked their padding, but over the years their brand seems to get tighter and tighter. I am definitely switching over to Assos, and just purchased a Mille bib short.
First time use I criticized this short. By the third use I loved it. Comfort is great. In my closet I have several PI Pros.
I use Millie for short rides, long rides, hilly rides and it exceeds the PI Pro.
It feels to comfortable to be as top drawer as it is. I highly recommend these shorts.
At first I did not these shorts. Buy the third ride they became my go to shorts.
I have several pair of PI Pro but I prefer the Assos. Much more comfortable yet plenty of leg firmness for hills or longer rides. Give them a try. They are worth the price.
