EQUIPE R Bib Shorts S9 - Men's

A chamois is a padded insert found in cycling shorts that provides cushioning and comfort during rides. It helps reduce friction and absorb shock, making long rides more enjoyable. The "Mono 9" chamois in the ASSOS EQUIPE R Bib Shorts S9 is specifically designed for optimal performance, ensuring you stay comfortable even on extended journeys.

A UPF rating of 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks over 98% of UV rays, providing excellent protection against sun exposure. This is particularly important for cyclists who spend long hours outdoors, as it helps prevent sunburn and skin damage while you ride.

A bib is a type of cycling short that features straps extending over the shoulders instead of a traditional waistband. This design helps keep the shorts securely in place and offers additional support and comfort during rides. The "X-Frame" design enhances fit and performance, making it a popular choice among serious cyclists.

A compressive fit is designed to be tight and supportive, hugging the body closely. This type of fit improves blood circulation, reduces muscle fatigue, and enhances overall performance during physical activities. Wearing compressive clothing can help you feel more energized and perform better on your rides.

An ultralight leg gripper is a feature in bib shorts that prevents the legs from riding up during cycling. Made from lightweight materials, it ensures comfort without adding bulk. This feature is crucial for maintaining a streamlined fit, allowing you to focus on your ride without distractions.

The combination of a high-quality chamois, UPF protection, supportive bib design, compressive fit, and ultralight leg grippers work together to provide maximum comfort, performance, and protection. These features help you ride longer and more comfortably, allowing you to enjoy your cycling experience to the fullest.
