## Assos RS Socks TARGA

The Assos RS Socks TARGA are designed for cyclists who rely on **breathable** performance socks with targeted support in warm conditions. For this TARGA evolution, Assos has refined the yarn blend and extended the cuff to **18 cm** – for a modern look and functional support. The socks combine a soft microfibre with **Lycra** and wrap around the foot, ankle and lower leg with a **seamless**, lightly compressive fit. A **ribbed mesh band** at the arch provides additional support and improved air circulation, which is particularly noticeable on longer summer rides. These features make the RS Socks TARGA a reliable choice for training and racing on Swiss roads.

- 18 cm cuff for contemporary look and functional support
- Ultra-light blend of **Hydrogen yarns** and **Lycra** for high breathability
- **Seamless** construction for friction-free comfort in the shoe
- **Ribbed mesh** at the arch for stable fit and improved ventilation
- **Light compression** along foot, ankle and lower leg
- Material composition: **96% Polyamide / 4% Elastane**
- Developed for **racing and training** in **warmer conditions**

## Technical Details and Features

The RS Socks TARGA utilise Assos' **Hydrogen yarns**, which quickly transport moisture away from the foot and, combined with **Lycra**, form a lightly compressive, supportive base. The **seamless** construction reduces friction points and ensures an unobtrusive feel in tight-fitting road cycling shoes. The **360° ribbed band** at the midfoot stabilises the arch and prevents slipping without restricting ventilation. The **18 cm** extended cuff follows current racing style and aligns with common regulations for sock height in competition. For reference: the UCI regulates maximum sock height as half the distance between the ankle malleolus and the fibular head – commissaires check this particularly in time trials. The TARGA with its cuff thus moves moderately within the framework of sporting use, without overdoing it.

## Applications and Benefits

Whether fast laps around Lake Zurich, longer climbs in the Mittelland or intensive intervals on your local loop: the RS Socks TARGA excel when it's warm and **breathability** counts. The **light compression** subtly supports the muscles, while the **seamless** construction minimises pressure points – an advantage on long training sessions and in races. The **mesh band** keeps the foot secure in the shoe, which improves power transfer and provides a feeling of control. At the same time, the climate in the shoe remains balanced, as the moisture-wicking **Hydrogen yarns** efficiently transport sweat away. The **18 cm** cuff combines subtle aerodynamics and style with a height that's common and practical in everyday racing. So you get a versatile cycling sock for summer that combines comfort, support and a clean setup.
