FAQs

What makes the Assos Mille GT Bib-Shorts S11 suitable for endurance riding?

They feature a 12mm endurance insert with compressive foam, a zeroPressure waist for comfort over long distances, and durable, breathable fabrics designed to keep you comfortable mile after mile.

How does the rollBar technology improve performance?

The rollBar bib straps stabilize the insert by keeping it locked in place as your weight shifts during hard efforts like sprinting or climbing, reducing movement and improving efficiency.

Can I wear these bib shorts in cooler weather?

These shorts are optimized for warm conditions (above +21°C). For cooler weather, layering with leg warmers or using different Assos models designed for colder temperatures is recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Assos sizing guide, typically available on their website or from retailers. Key measurements usually include waist and inseam. The fit should be snug but not constricting.

What is the difference between the Mille GT and Assos's Racing Series bib shorts?

The Mille GT line is focused on comfort and utility for daily rides and endurance, offering a more relaxed fit and broader appeal. The Racing Series bib shorts are typically more performance-oriented, with a more aggressive fit and aerodynamic features.

Is the GT S11 insert suitable for all body types?

The GT S11 insert uses a 3D Waffle foam and thermo-shaping to adapt to the body and reduce irritation. While designed for broad compatibility, individual fit preferences may vary.

How often should I wash my bib shorts?

It is recommended to wash bib shorts after every use to maintain hygiene, prevent odor buildup, and preserve the fabric's technical properties.

Troubleshooting

Bib straps feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the bib straps are positioned correctly over the shoulders and not twisted. The rollBar system is designed to adapt; try adjusting their position slightly.

Insert feels stiff or causes irritation

The GT S11 insert may require a break-in period. Wear the shorts for shorter rides initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure proper fit and that no seams are digging in.

Leg grippers are sliding or rolling up

Check that the leg opening band is positioned correctly on the thigh. Ensure the skin is dry. If the issue persists, the garment may be slightly too large or the microdot silicone may need cleaning (see care instructions).

Fabric loses breathability or odor control

Ensure you are using a suitable sports detergent and washing the shorts regularly after each use. Avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores.
