Assos is known as the "Rolls-Royce" of cycling jerseys, and BMC has always used Assos jerseys among the 18 World Tour teams that symbolize the highest level of cycling competition in the world.
Assos was the first brand to bring Lycra fabric to the cycling apparel space, and as a purpose-built spandex fabric with excellent stretch and comfort, it is a milestone in the evolution of cycling clothing, and has now become the fabric of choice for cycling clothing of all brands.
In addition to the fabric, the special design of the Assos crotch pads is also very distinctive, which greatly improves the comfort of the jersey, and the T.tiburu Shorts S7 pants for the legendary Belgian rider Freddy Maertens are even more effective.
If divided by season, Assos can be divided into four categories: Shasha, Tiburu, Habu and Bonka, corresponding to four use scenarios in summer, spring and autumn, autumn and winter, respectively, the difference between these four types of cycling jerseys is mainly in the thickness of the fabric, Shasha is the most light and breathable, Bonka has the best warmth, and the S7 cycling pants mentioned above belong to Tiburu spring and autumn cycling clothing.
The bottom pad fabric of the S7 cycling pants uses Asso's exclusive Elastic Interface technology, which is slightly fleece on the surface and soft enough, so the S7 is only sewn and fixed on the tail and nose of the pad, leaving a gap in the middle, the pad has more room to move, and the breathability is better, and the pad can be close to the skin when riding, eliminating skin friction between the thighs.
If divided by competitive level, Assos has an affordable cycling series, a competition series and a top series, and the famous gold and silver label cycling pants are mostly from the top series, reflecting the highest level of Assos.
Among the top products, the 113 and LAALALAI sub-series are designed for the different needs of men and women, respectively, and the front panel is made of highly breathable MiniCheck Tex knitted fabric, which is cut with aerodynamic principles to make the jersey fit the body as closely as possible, and minimize the windward area of the jersey, thereby reducing air resistance.
In addition to this, Assos has also developed the XC and RALLY series of professional mountain biking wear, of which the XC series is made up of up to 25 panels, and uses Lycra fabric for greater durability and comfort on the shoulders and backs, such details and workmanship can not be found even in the first-line cycling clothing brands, suitable for non-professional cycling enthusiasts, and the price of about $150 is very cost-effective.
Assos jerseys range from $100 to $300, and most of the jerseys over $200 are winter Bonka or pro. Unfortunately, Assos has not landed in the Chinese market, and all cycling jerseys can only be purchased through overseas shopping, which is more troublesome.
