Assos apparel questions
Assos normally roll out summer kit in February.
Their sleeve and leg lengts are perfect.

would appreciate that as well. i love the fit, quality and design, but especially the short sleeves stop me from buying assos summer kit.
nothing wrong with the more classic style, but a race orientated jersey with longer aero sleeves would be awesome.
Here's a shot of the coming Équipe RS Aero SS Jersey, complementing the S9 shorts, shown over arm protectors of some kind. Sleeves might be longer than on the current Équipe jersey, but they're not making an armpit mess of them, hah!
I bought a pair of last years knicker bibs after I spoke with rep from Assos. He advised me that the older pair were as good if not better in some respects due to less fit cyclists wanting more forgiving fit which I don't. I don't think you'd go wrong with last years at a deal.
Thank you for the feedback everyone!icenine wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 12:10 amI bought a pair of last years knicker bibs after I spoke with rep from Assos.

I'm rotating between Campionissimo's ( which are pretty much stuffed ) and the latest black edtion Equipe's. I just thought if i'm in that window when the latest and greatest comes out why not. I was unaware that the new Gen shorts where a bit more relaxed though as i prefer the extra compression of the Campionissimo's. $260AUD for set right now on Swiss Iconic is a hard deal to pass up i must say.
The Mille GT line is more relaxed.
Équipe and Campionissimo are not relaxed, but still more comfortable.

I like the previous Tk.607 knickers better than the Tk.Tiburu ones now. the grippers are not great with the latest S7 purple pads. I'm hoping that the new S9 version will make a change and have a better gripper system at the leg openings.icenine wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 12:10 amI bought a pair of last years knicker bibs after I spoke with rep from Assos.

Looks like new socks too!
I just hope that I don't have to go through the process of figuring out what's what between the different lines.

Anyone know the difference between the Equipment and Cento jersey? I'm looking for a racefit jersey, and from what I gathered the equipe is more race oriented than the Cento? The Cento is more expensive though, hence I expect it to offer something more somewhere?
You get a zippered pocket and a funky holed textile for the normal pockets. If yu want race fit choose the Équipe or the Campionissimo.
In my humble opinion the current Équipe_S7 jersey is better looking than the new one (S9) shown above. I have a yellow one^^^^. That said: If you don't have sticklike arms the folded back and bonded sleeve endings on it might feel somewhat tight. Looks like the S9 has adopted the laser cut sleeve ends of the Campionissimo jersey.
Since I know @RTW pops in here now and then I also would like to throw a vote in to going back to the regular length bibs. I say “regular” because they were on the short side of average even before they lopped off another 2cm in length a couple years ago. I haven’t gone to the longer sleeves however. Or god forbid a skinsuit for just riding around. But I love the assos bibs, knickers, Habu tights and jacket. Just don’t make me wear short shorts.eins4eins wrote:would appreciate that as well. i love the fit, quality and design, but especially the short sleeves stop me from buying assos summer kit.
