Assos cycling shorts have already achieved top marks in TOUR tests. How does the new top model perform? TOUR tested the trousers.
Our verdict on the current top model Equipe RSR Bibshorts S9 Targa is rather ambivalent. Compared to previous models, they are very small. Our testers found the extreme compression effect uncomfortable: the tight material sometimes pinched uncomfortably in the groin and the very sticky gel prints in the leg cuffs made it difficult to put on. Our tip: buy one size larger - provided the length of the trouser legs and straps still fit. Otherwise, the trousers are well made. The well-positioned padding quickly wicks away moisture. The braces lie flat and keep the trousers taut.
