EQUIPE R Jersey S11

Assos EQUIPE R Jersey S11

The Assos EQUIPE R Jersey S11 is an ultralight racing jersey for hot conditions and intensive training on the road bike. At its heart is the new AirCell main material, which features an open hexagonal pattern for maximum airflow and is designed for rapid moisture wicking. The close-fitting racingFit cut is based on WorldTour development and creates second-skin aerodynamics without unnecessary bulk. The clean design forgoes large logos on the front; subtle branding sits only on the middle back pocket – functional and timeless for everyday Swiss cycling.

• Ultralight AirCell fabric for intensive cooling in heat
• Aerodynamic racingFit silhouette with second-skin character
• Bonded Bonded Tec sleeves and zip for clean finishes
• Stable hem with PILtec Plug-In and micro-dot silicone
• Three back pockets with Triple Ramp Pockets for secure storage
• Available in neutral and vibrant colours for summer in Swiss terrain

Technical Details and Features

The AirCell circular knit material works with open hexagon mesh for noticeably cooling breathability; its bi-stretch properties hug the torso supportively. Integrated odorControl treatment maintains freshness even during long intervals or Alpine climbs. The Bonded Tec construction with bonded sleeves and zip reduces friction points and keeps bulk minimal. At the rear hem, PILtec Plug-In – a lightweight, ultra-breathable band with micro-dot silicone – provides stable hold, even when wet. Three Triple Ramp Pockets are essentially "covered" by flexible fabric panels, keeping energy bars, mini pumps or smartphones secure. Material composition according to manufacturer: Main fabric 80% polyester / 20% elastane; pocket and hem insert 82% polyester / 18% elastane; pocket mesh 94% polyamide / 6% elastane.

Applications and Benefits

The jersey is designed for summer rides, criterium races and high-intensity training blocks – precisely when cooling and aerodynamics are priorities. On mountain passes or fast laps around Lake Zurich, AirCell keeps temperature noticeably under control, while the racingFit silhouette minimises air resistance. The grippy hem with PILtec Plug-In prevents shifting, even when the jersey back is loaded with pocket contents or during sweat and moisture. In practice, this means: less tugging, more focus on cadence, line and nutrition. In cooler morning hours, the jersey can be easily combined with a Summer Skin Layer in the ASSOS layering system without losing freedom of movement.

Variants and Sizes

Available in selected, highly visible summer colours like Halo Green, Flame Orange, Future Dusk as well as the subtle blackSeries – ideal for adapting outfit and visibility according to use. Sizes range from XS to 3XL, covering athletic, slim to powerful rider types. The minimalist graphic concept with branding only on the middle pocket ensures a clean look that's easy to coordinate. Thanks to consistent construction features, fit and function remain constant regardless of colour variant. For Swiss riders, this means a clear choice between eye-catching signal colours for traffic or an understated race look.

Practical Impressions from Tests

Specialist publications emphasise the strong ventilation and reduced design of the S11, which convinces in everyday use as well as racing. An Italian magazine praises the elastic feel of the AirCell fabric and the cleanly finished sleeves that sit securely even without additional grippers. An independent test report highlights the cooling performance in warm conditions and describes the jersey as a minimalist, performance-focused piece – with the note that the hem grip can work noticeably depending on riding position. These impressions align with the model's focus on hot days and high intensities.
