EQUIPE RS RAPIDFIRE CHRONOSUIT S11

EQUIPE RS RAPIDFIRE CHRONOSUIT S11

The Assos EQUIPE RS RAPIDFIRE CHRONOSUIT S11 is an uncompromising time trial and track skinsuit, validated in the wind tunnel and purpose-built for race situations where storage space is off the table. Newly developed HAWK-01 and EAGLE-01 fabrics cut through aerodynamic drag, while Type.959Kompressor on the legs delivers targeted compression and cooling. Practical race-day features like the front radio pocket with internal cable routing, a full-length front zip, and a transparent race number window are all built right in. Available in six sizes (XS–2XL) and in the White Series colorway, the suit follows Assos's racingFit philosophy with an extended leg length for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

• Aerodynamically optimized HAWK-01 front panel in a diamond texture to dampen surface turbulence.
• Flow-channeling EAGLE-01 sleeves and back panel with a "Wind-Stripe" texture.
• Compressive, breathable Type.959Kompressor legs with UPF 50+ and enhanced abrasion resistance.
• No rear pockets — instead, a transparent number window and a front radio pocket with internal cable routing.
• Bonded seams, raw-cut edges, and a skinGrip finish for a clean, drag-free finish.
• Aggressive racingFit with extended leg length for optimal airflow in the aero position.
• Developed with WorldTour input and validated in the wind tunnel.

Technical Details and Features

The upper body uses HAWK-01 as a close-fitting, woven fabric with a diamond texture that stabilizes laminar airflow and reduces drag. The sleeves and lower back are made from EAGLE-01 with a targeted Wind-Stripe texture that further channels airflow, while the legs use Type.959Kompressor for race-specific compression, cooling, and UPF 50+ protection. The new RS Chrono S11 chamois combines the Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono (9 mm) with the patented 3D Waffle foam structure and goldenGate 2.0 for reduced friction and unrestricted chamois movement. Construction details like Bonded + Raw Cut on the legs and seams, along with skinGrip finishes, reduce bulk, weight, and potential irritation. Full material composition: main body 75% polyester/25% elastane; legs 68% polyamide/31% elastane/1% polyester; sleeves/back 56% polyester/24% polyamide/20% elastane; pockets 83% polyamide/17% elastane; pocket lining 90% polyamide/10% elastane; collar 72% polyamide/28% elastane.

Use Cases and Benefits

The RAPIDFIRE is built for time trials, track racing, and short, all-out efforts like prologue or mountain time trials in Switzerland — when every second counts. With no rear pockets and an integrated number window, the upper body stays smooth, boosting aerodynamics in competition. The full-length front zip makes warm-up phases and quick cooling breaks a breeze, while the front radio pocket keeps the team radio secure and tucked cleanly in the airstream. Development drew on WorldTour feedback from projects with Tudor Pro Cycling and Swiss Cycling; while the Tudor partnership wrapped up at the end of the 2025 season, the technology continues to flow into the Assos Racing line.

Optional: Fit, Care, and Sizing

The racingFit cut feels like a second skin — intentionally snug, with an extended leg length that keeps bunching to a minimum. For sizing, we recommend working from the six available options (XS–2XL) and your usual Assos race fit; if you're between sizes, go with the closer fit. To keep the suit performing at its best, wash it on a gentle cycle with a mild sports detergent, zip closed, and air dry — this preserves the bonded seams and the performance properties of the fabrics. That way, compression, aero performance, and the characteristics of the RS Chrono S11 chamois stay consistently on point over the long haul.
