The dense, warming **RX Extreme** fabric reliably shields against wind and spray, while an environmentally friendly **Acqua Shield Tec** treatment lets light precipitation bead off. The new **EQUIPE R S11** insert combines 9mm cushioning with **3D Waffle** and **goldenGate 2.0** for noticeable support in aggressive racing position. The precise **AEPD 11 racingFit** construction fits like a second skin and remains stable even during pace changes. In the Assos system, "**2/3**" stands for the spring/autumn calibration – meaning the layering and thermal regulation for these seasons, not the leg length. This S11 generation was specifically redesigned for this purpose and deliberately built without a double layer in the crotch area compared to its predecessor, making heat distribution more harmonious. The shorts are available in **seven sizes** from XS to 3XL, making them suitable for a broad spectrum of road cyclists. As a Swiss retailer, we particularly appreciate the balance of weather protection, breathability and racing performance that convinces on typical shoulder-season rides around Zurich. - Warm, densely woven **RX Extreme** fabric for transition weather, with **Acqua Shield Tec** water-repellent treatment. - New **EQUIPE R S11** insert: **Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9**, **3D Waffle** and **goldenGate 2.0** for efficient pressure relief. - **PILtec Plug-In** leg finish with micro-silicone dots holds securely even when wet, without pinching. - Stabilised bib construction with **X-Frame** and lighter straps; **AEPD 11 racingFit** in second-skin fit. - Reflective, vertical **detail** on the lower back for additional visibility in twilight. - Material: 75% polyamide, 24% elastane, 1% polyester; sizes XS–3XL; 2-year manufacturer warranty. ## Technical Details and Features The core of these bib shorts is the **RX Extreme** fabric – Assos' warmest spring-fall material with a dense structure that blocks wind and lets road water bead off for a long time. By eliminating a double layer in the crotch, heat distributes more evenly, preventing overheating and making the shorts more versatile. The **PILtec Plug-In** finish uses an ultra-airy band construction with fine **silicone micro-print** that stabilises the fit even when wet, without building up pressure. For lasting comfort, the **EQUIPE R S11** insert provides 9mm cushioning, perforated **3D Waffle** and **goldenGate 2.0** "floating" suspension, allowing the pad to adapt to pedalling motion. The **X-Frame** straps tension the back panel like an A-frame, stabilise the pad and prevent tilting during sprints or on rough surfaces. ## Applications and Benefits These 2/3-calibrated racing bib shorts are the right choice for fast training and racing in Switzerland when it's cool, damp and changeable. In testing, the shorts impressed with high insulation, stable fit and noticeably reduced slipping of the leg finishes; with matching leg warmers, even longer rides at around 3–12°C felt secure. The long **reflector element** at the back increases visibility on the way home through twilight, while the dense surface repels drizzle and spray for a long time. Thanks to the **AEPD 11 racingFit**, the shorts sit compactly and support a deep racing position without bunching at the hip area. On Alpine passes, commuting through Zurich or during interval sessions at Lake Greifensee, the combination of thermal regulation, **compression** and weather tolerance remains a noticeable advantage. Additionally, the S11 generation scores with practical details that make a big difference in everyday use. The **raw-cut** waistband construction reduces pressure when you go deep into the drops, and the straps distribute tension broadly and flatly across the shoulders. The size range from **XS to 3XL** covers seven variants, making the fit work for many rider types. Combine the shorts with **Spring/Fall** jerseys, vests or light arm/leg warmers depending on weather to modularly expand your 2/3 system. And if something happens: Assos provides two years warranty and maintains a crash policy – ideal when you push your gear hard. ## Variants - 11.10.278.18.M: in stock - 11.10.278.18.L: in stock - 11.10.278.18.S: in stock - 11.10.278.18.XS: in stock - 11.10.278.18.3XL: in stock - 11.10.278.18.2XL: in stock - 11.10.278.18.XL: in stock --- Source: https://kilometro.ch/en/products/shorts-664/equipe-r-23-bib-shorts-s11-796
