Equipe RS Collective 13 Jersey S11

Assos Equipe RS Collective 13 Jersey S11

The Equipe RS Collective 13 Jersey S11 combines the RS S11 platform with a limited-edition graphic by Taylor Phinney, drawing on themes of superstition, community, and the energy of riding together. At its core is the current RS Jersey S11, engineered to be lighter, more aerodynamic, and more stable across the back panel compared to its predecessor — all without sacrificing breathability. On the front, miniCheck Tex delivers high stretch and airflow, while the Stabilizer V11 back panel keeps the jersey pockets firmly in place. The raw-cut, bonded edges and race-oriented racingFit create a clean silhouette on the road bike — ideal for hot Swiss summer days and long rides across the Mittelland and Alpine passes.

• Front panel in open 3D-knit miniCheck Tex with high breathability and UPF 25.
• Stabilizer V11 back panel: hyper-cooling, ultra-lightweight with UPF 15 and extra stability for fully loaded jersey pockets.
• New warp-knit sleeves in 550CX with UPF 35, bi-stretch fit, and aerodynamic properties.
• Triple Ramp Pockets with integrated lids to prevent items from falling out, plus a PILtec Plug-In silicone gripper band at the hem for a secure hold.
• Raw-cut & bonded: raw-cut, bonded sleeves, hem, and zipper for smooth transitions and reduced friction.
• Limited Collective Thirteen graphic by Taylor Phinney on Concrete Grey; RS S11 aero platform as the technical foundation.

Technical Details and Features

The Collective 13's fabric blend is 85% polyester, 9% elastane, and 6% polyamide, designed for low weight and fast drying. The Triple Ramp Pockets are anchored by the stiff back panel, keeping their shape even when loaded with gels, a pump, or a phone — no sagging or pulling down. The race-specific racingFit is based on WorldTour feedback and uses compressive fabrics along with raw-cut edges to minimise transition bulk. Details like the PILtec Plug-In silicone gripper band at the back keep the jersey securely in place even in wet conditions. The UPF ratings of the fabrics used help reduce sun exposure; however, the manufacturer still recommends applying sunscreen to the back.

Use Cases and Benefits

This aero road jersey really comes into its own during intense training sessions, crits, and fast Alpine climbs, where ventilation and an aerodynamic fit make all the difference. The combination of miniCheck Tex at the front and Stabilizer V11 at the back balances airflow with pocket load capacity — perfect for long days in the saddle from Lake Zurich to the Furka Pass. Reviews particularly highlight the stable pockets and non-slip waistband, which stay put even when fully packed, keeping food and gear securely stowed. Testing also noted the impressively low weight (around 115 g in size S) and the comfortably long sleeves, extending its versatility from fast training rides to race day. If you're after an uncompromisingly sporty fit, racingFit delivers a sleek yet well-considered position on the drops.

Sizing, Variants, and Pairing Tips

The jersey is available in sizes XS to XLG and runs intentionally snug as a racingFit; for a performance-oriented fit, we recommend sticking with your usual ASSOS size. The range includes a total of 5 variants, so you can choose based on your personal style and kit setup. For a cohesive race kit, pair the jersey with EQUIPE RS or EQUIPE R Bib Shorts S11, lightweight summer socks, and a matching Skin Layer. ASSOS explicitly recommends the RS platform for hot conditions and high intensity, making the setup a perfect match for Swiss summer rides. The Collective Thirteen graphic edition makes a bold statement in the peloton, without compromising the uncompromising tech of the RS S11 platform.
