FAQs
What is the primary difference between this S11 model and previous versions?
The S11 features a new, lighter, and more durable QUARTZ textile with better odor control, updated rollBar bib strap technology for enhanced stability, and refined leg grippers, along with a slightly longer leg length.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the new QUARTZ textile is designed to be lightweight and breathable, making them suitable for hot conditions. The improved insert also enhances ventilation.
Can I wear underwear with these bib-shorts?
No, bib-shorts are designed to be worn directly against the skin. Wearing underwear can create friction points and reduce the effectiveness of the chamois and moisture-wicking properties.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Assos sizing guide for the Mille GT line. Bib-shorts should offer a snug, compressive fit without being overly tight or restricting movement. The leg grippers should sit comfortably.
What is the purpose of the rollBar bib straps?
The rollBar bib straps are engineered to provide greater stability to the chamois and overall shorts structure, helping to keep everything in place during dynamic riding movements.
How often should I wash my bib-shorts?
It is recommended to wash your bib-shorts after every use to maintain hygiene and fabric integrity. Follow the care instructions precisely to prolong their lifespan.
What is the expected lifespan of these bib-shorts?
With proper care and regular use, the Assos Mille GT Bib-Shorts S11 are built for durability. However, lifespan can vary based on riding frequency, intensity, and washing habits. Following care instructions is crucial.
Troubleshooting
Bib straps feel too tight or dig in.
Ensure the shorts are the correct size. If they are, try adjusting the strap position slightly over your shoulders. Ensure the chamois is properly positioned before putting on the straps.
Leg grippers are rolling down or feeling too tight.
Verify the size. If the size is correct, ensure the leg is smooth before pulling the gripper down. Avoid excessive tension when pulling them up. Ensure there is no moisture on the skin where the gripper sits.
Chamois feels uncomfortable after a few hours.
Ensure proper fit. The chamois is designed for extended wear and may require a short break-in period. Check that the bib straps are providing adequate support to keep the chamois in place. Avoid wearing anything underneath the bib-shorts.
Fabric losing its stretch or durability.
Follow washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and high heat from dryers, which can degrade the fabric over time.
