Replica racing bib shorts featuring the EF Pro Cycling Team's 2026 graphics, highly breathable compression, and a second-skin fit engineered for daily training and racing.

The EF Pro Cycling Team's 2026 kit - officially titled Assos RIDE IN PEACE - are designed as a nod to the suits worn during the first spaceflights. The silver seams and numerical details may not be equal to actual extraterrestrial conditions, but the R S11 platform their incorporated into is certainly enough for any racing conditions you'll encounter this side of the stratosphere. The R S11 features technology from the premium RS SCHTRADIVARI Bib Shorts S11 in a simpler construction. That shared technology includes raw-cut cuffs, a minimal silicone grip, and the lightweight, compressive Type.911 textile. The key differences between the RS and the R are in the R S11 insert and the bib strap construction, both of which are simplified for pure racing utility.

Technology

Featured Fabrics

Type.911 is a warp-knit textile with a silky-smooth, abrasion-resistant texture that provides stabilizing compression in a deeper, fuller black than the previous model - even while stretched. It's also hydrophobic and dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture, and is equipped with odorControl properties and UPF 50+ protection.

Construction/Fit

Assos' racingFit is a second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette designed with WorldTour feedback and proven with WorldTour results. Micro-adjusted shaping wraps the large muscles with compressive support in a standard racingFit length, which is slightly longer than the standard regularFit.

Engineering

ZeroPressure Waist: Highly elastic waist construction that conforms with a second-skin fit while reducing pressure in aggressive riding positions.

SkinGrip Finish: Raw-cut edges with minimal anti-slip finishing secures the legs in place without excessive pressure or seams.

X-Frame: An A-frame suspension inherited from the Equipe RS line. Limits sag on the lower back, stabilizing the insert and main body panel during high-intensity riding.

Equipe R S11 Insert

Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9: Compressive foam materials in a breathable 9mm racing platform. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation.

3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.

GoldenGate 2.0: The insert is attached at front and rear with floating sides and centre, letting it move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.
