Technical Details and Features

The QUARTZ main material is a lightweight, highly breathable warp-knit whose fibers are 80% pre-consumer recycled polyamide; it stays deep black and doesn't become see-through during movement. In the saddle, the new GT S11 Insert with 12 mm Shock-Absorb Damping Mono provides noticeable cushioning, while the perforated 3D Waffle foam allows heat and moisture to escape faster. The freely suspended goldenGate 2.0 attachment reduces friction throughout the entire pedal stroke, and Sundeck Tec relieves pressure in the front area for increased airflow. rollBar straps stabilize the shorts during weight shifts, while the PILtec Plug-In finish with microdot silicone secures the fit on the leg even when wet; the zeroPressure Waist distributes support around the waist without constricting. The regularFit reduces seams and potential chafing points, making the UMA GT S11 a reliable choice for endurance rides. Independent media confirm these focused updates of the GT S11 line on everyday performance and more sustainable materials.

Applications and Benefits

Whether it's an after-work loop around Zurich, long road bike base miles in central Switzerland or an ambitious alpine pass on the weekend – these bib shorts are designed for long distance, stability and heat management. The breathable chamois and airy QUARTZ fabric show their strengths especially on warm summer days, while odorControl ensures a consistently fresh feeling. During out-of-saddle efforts and descents, the rollBar construction keeps the pad securely in position, and the PILtec Plug-In grip prevents riding up or bunching. The longer leg length supports smooth aerodynamics, and the zeroPressure Waist fits comfortably – ideal for training sessions, cycling marathons and long gravel outings with road bike geometry. Available in sizes from XS to 2XL, the UMA GT S11 covers a wide range of riders without losing the proven ASSOS fit.

Technical Details and Features

The color options Black Series, Moss Green and Burgundy Red blend harmoniously with common jersey palettes and deliver an understated, sporty look. In practice, you benefit from the low-seam regularFit cut, which makes layering easier in spring or on cooler summer mornings. ASSOS positions the UMA GT as the centerpiece of the Endurance collection – accordingly robust is the material choice, without compromising on weight and breathability. For Swiss conditions, this means: sufficient air exchange on hot days, reliable support in changeable weather and a chamois that remains neutral and pressure-free even after hours. The result is an everyday-ready bib shorts that visibly masters the balance between comfort, durability and modern silhouette.
