May Assos introduce: The next generation of MILLE bib shorts with double-layer padding and even more efficient, more supportive fabrics, based on construction of the iconic GT for most pleasant comfort.
GTS marks the birth of the second generation MILLE - brand new bib shorts based on the iconic GT for the most comfortable fit, with soft double layer padding, new, more supportive fabrics to combat muscle fatigue and a revised fit. They're a must-have for pro riders looking for extra comfort in training, or for amateur riders looking for maximum support on long-distance rides.
Assos has adopted the two-piece butterfly design of the S9 race shorts to further enhance comfort, keep the padding securely in place during movement and prevent chafing with reduced seams. The Xbib straps with the additional stabilizing A-Frame on the back, ensure that the shorts remain optimally in position during the ride.
The new fabric OSSIDIA - specially developed for MILLE GT c2 - creates the ideal balance between pleasant wearing comfort and muscle-supporting support. The circular knit fabric is made from ultra-thin, elastic fibres for a snug fit, breathability and velvety comfort around your lower back and thighs. The resulting fit is a more efficient, close-fitting regularFit, ideal for all riders and all riding styles.
At the heart of the GTS is a completely redesigned pad. The starting point was the GT's pad with its double-layer memory foam and honeycomb overlay.
This multi-layer padding system provides targeted support for the sit bones and, with its 3D structure and kraterCooler ventilation openings, ensures optimum ventilation and maximum comfort.
Features of the Assos C2 Summer bib shorts
- OSSIDIA: A 40 gauge circular knit fabric for reliable support and a velvety feel against the skin. 195 g/m2, SPF 50+, moisture wicking, integrated odorControl-minerals to neutralize odor and regulate temperature. Extremely durable.
- GTS Summer pad: A new pad for the Mille GTS series, composed of two different foams with the patented honeycomb upper material - further developed for optimal support and breathability especially for the very long days in the saddle.
- 3D waffle: A patented three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and has no excess weight.
- kraterCooler: A system of small holes in the front of the pad that promote air exchange, keeping your sensitive body parts cool.
- goldenGate: A patented process technique that interrupts the seams along the sides of the pad, allowing for increased three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, ever-moving area.
- A-Lock Engineering: c2-regularFit fit enhanced with new fabrics and processes to stabilize the shorts and secure the pad.
- Butterfly Pattern: The largest section of fabric hugs the lower back as well as the legs and converges at the back. The small number of seams promises more consistent support, less weight as well as improved comfort.
- ergoBox: A square pattern that effectively frames the padding at the back for added stability.
- zeroWaist: A tape-sealed fabric edge finished without an additional hem for the smoothest transition between body and shorts. More comfort less feeling of pressure.
- regularFit: Optimized for all-round comfort in the riding position. The cut is slightly looser than our skintight racingFit.
- superFlat Xbib: A single piece of elastic material folded over to form an A-shaped frame. With its limited stretch, it provides extra support for the seat pad.
- ultraLight Leg Grippers: A light silicone coating ensures that the shorts do not slip, without cutting in.
