EQUIPE R 3/3 BibTights S11

Assos EQUIPE R 3/3 BibTightsS11

The EQUIPE R 3/3 BibTightsS11 are road cycling winter tights in racingFit, developed for high intensity in cold, wet weather conditions in Switzerland. The revised S11 design saves around 50g of weight in size M, without compromising on wind protection or insulation. Pre-shaped panels reduce pedaling restrictions, while a storm-proof overlay over the core area blocks headwind and spray. Water-repellent treatments on the thermal textiles ensure that drizzle and road spray reliably bead off.

• AEPD 11 racingFit with body-hugging second-skin character and 360° stability, refined with feedback from WorldTour use.
• Storm-proof AIRBLOCK.1098 softshell panel over the core area for additional protection from wind and spray.
• Brushed, insulating RX Extreme on exposed zones; breathable and with water-repellent treatment.
• Acqua Shield Tec for lasting water-beading performance and a dry microclimate.
• X-Frame brace system stabilizes the lumbar area and chamois during high intensity.
• New EQUIPE R S11 chamois with 9mm Shock-Absorb Mono platform, 3D Waffle and goldenGate 2.0.
• Reflective details on the lower legs for better visibility.
• Available in seven sizes from XS to 3XL; material composition: 76% polyamide / 24% elastane.

Technical Details and Features

The tights belong to Assos's 3/3 Winter system and are clearly designed for cold conditions with possible moisture. Over the core area sits an AIRBLOCK.1098 softshell that storm-proofs the thermal zone in the crotch area, while RX Extreme at the knees delivers thermal performance like two lighter layers – with high breathability. The AEPD 11 racingFit sits compressively and aerodynamically, and the Louvre Tec knee construction reduces material bunching and friction while pedaling. Additionally, Acqua Shield Tec keeps the surface water-repellent, and the X-Frame brace system prevents sagging of the back panel.

Applications and Benefits

Whether fast training loops along the Limmat, intervals on the Lake Zurich shore, or long base training sessions in the Mittelland: These winter bib tights are designed for high cadences in cool, wet conditions. The combination of storm panel at the front, water-repellent RX Extreme and tight second-skin fit protects against cooling from headwind and spray without overheating. The reflective details increase your visibility in commuter traffic and on early morning rides. For a coordinated setup, we recommend combining with the EQUIPE R Habu Winter Jacket and matching winter ASSOSOIRES.

Chamois and Comfort Technologies in Detail

The new EQUIPE R S11 chamois combines a 9mm Shock-Absorb Mono platform with the free-floating goldenGate 2.0 suspension, so the chamois moves with the body and reduces friction. The 3D Waffle foam structure is perforated, saves weight and improves ventilation on long, intensive rides. This S11 characteristic builds on the current Assos platform, whose revision steps – reduced weight, improved compression and refined insert feeling – have been confirmed by specialist media in the context of the S11 series. This gives you race support with low volume, ideal for fast winter sessions on Swiss roads.
