Liked these so much I got a second pair once they went on sale. Having used the RS11 bibs for 3 months straight of daily 20-30mi, elevation-filled endurance rides - I can confirm they're worth every penny. Bulletproof fabrics. Rotating between the two cuts my cycling gear laundry in half - these two pairs are the only new bibs I own. Sold or traded / gave away my Pro Team bibs, as someone else mentioned on here - once you try these everything else feels inferior. Have worn them in 60 to 100+ degrees F - unbelievably comfortable. With no base layer they're also comfortable, I was skeptical the straps would irritate me. Like wearing nothing but a chamois. Assos really nailed it with these, everything from the cut to the shaping and body support - I've never worn a better bib. Highly recommended.
Recently picked these up and took them on multiple 3+ hour road / gravel rides. Just incredibly supportive and comfortable. There's a lot of thought put into these. Assos takes the cake as far as bib shorts goes - the cut and the chamois system is unmatched by other manufacturers. These and Mission Workshop's Pro bibs are the best money can buy in my book. Spent the last decade or so buying mostly Rapha Pro Team bibs, and sadly their quality has been declining. Assos bibs are without question all I can wear now and I don't know why took me so long to switch! Worth every penny.
This new material is awesome, great compression you can feel. Hard to improve a great chamois. The Mille shorts are better for longer distances though. Also the new long length is great as well.
I�ve been wearing Assos bibs since �95. IMO, nothing even comes close. They�re expensive sure, but you really get what you pay for. I have a pair of S9�s that are 5 years old, still great. They continue to make each iteration just a bit better. New material is outstanding, chamois, nothing comes close.
These will be raced and trained to race in any way shape or form I can possibly get away with.
