AssosMen's Equipe RS S9 Bib Shorts(Return to Product Page)

let's face it - Assos are pricey - but I had someone recently tell me how much they liked this brand - I saw the sale and went for it - so glad I did - they are amazing!!

The best bibs!

Never had tried Assos before. Definitely very nice shorts with nice attention to details.

Very comfortable shorts. Supportive yet can move easily in them. I would recommend them to anyone.

I'm tall and thin. Great sale price for these, and I've wanted to try a pair for a while. But for a tall thin guy, like me, I have found that these, like other Assos bibs I have had, are cut too short. I returned these after trying on, but I also ordered a pair of the Mille GT summer bibs in a long, which I had never seen offered by Assos before. They fit great, so I exchanged the RS S9 for a second pair of the Mille GT's also on reduced price. I am 6'2" 170lbs, 34" waist. Either a large or med fits, but I prefer the compression of the medium, and previous Assos large have gotten looser with use, especially around the leg opening.

I train on a road bike about 10,000miles a year, so I put my stuff through the wringer.. Every iteration of Assos bibs has made great improvements - not just cosmetic changes or for 'hype' in order to sell you something 'new', but real strides worked out after miles and years of riders' input.! The S5 version were terrific, then the S7 and now these are yet again a step up from the company that is strides and pedal strokes ahead of all the others. The compression is perfect and the pad never pinches or rides, does exactly what it's supposed to do, which is moisture control (not just cushioning). As for the reviewer with the 'strap confusion', sorry, but this strap design is the best yet .. smooth and never out of place while riding in any position.

great fabric and compression and they feel terrific. Only issue is they are cut very low on the torso, which if your extremely fit is terrific, if your not they slide down below any belly you may have which is neither comfortable or attractive, lol . they shouldn't change anything except perhaps design a pair cut a bit higher

Hands down the best I've worn, swapping from PearlIzumi the fit and finish is over the top! I picked the s9 up on sale and I like how it conforms to my profile and the fabric is comfortable hour after hour. Would love to try some cold weather gear here soon enough.

Two noticeable difference I felt straightaway were the compression and the kraterCooler technology of the chamois. The fit was exceptional -- I have worn them to race, on long rides, and even indoor training sessions. I highly recommend.

The bib shorts are the best. The shorts do not move around and compress muscles to get best work out.

I've got other brands. They're fine for indoor trainer, my 20-25 mile loops, and sometimes on more serious speed or distance rides. When I want to not worry about fit for chafing or other dangers, this is my go-to. Assos runs pro/slim unless otherwise marked. I'm 5'6" 138 pounds but pushing 50 years old and not razor thin just above the waist. I wear size small in most brands but for these, medium works best for me.

This was my first Bib, which I bought at my cyclist buddies recommendation. It really improved my riding experience except for the burn on my nipple. Looking forward to buying the long version of it (although I wish the price would have been a bit lower).

Light, efficient - no extra anything, with legs that are not too long and not prone to having leg compression issues at the ends. This bib needs no caveats - you don't just wear it for short rides or on the trainer or whatever. It fits the buy fewer, buy the best category and it is my go-to when I want to give it big effort on the bike and not worry about my bibs at all.

Great for long summer tides or indoor training, superior chamois, compression and moisture wicking

Love assos bibs. Love the floating pad. Great compression.

Great fit and comfort (once the extremely large tag was removed from the back). Favorite brand bibshorts!

Have had these shorts for a couple long rides after wearing other high quality shorts and have been super happy, no chafe and super breathable!
