Assos Mille GTO Mens Bib Shorts C2 Long Black

GTO marks the pinnacle of the Total Comfort MILLE GT line, spiritual successor to the iconic CENTO and Campionissimo Bib Shorts. It features the plushest, most responsive and breathable ASSOS insert to date, wrapped in our new frictionless, wrinkle-free paneling. The GTO has two leg lengths: STANDARD and LONG (+3cm vs standard).

Behind the Product
With large-muscle support, friction, and excessive pressure remaining critical issues on long-duration rides, GTO destroys conventional bib short construction formulas. We reversed stitch lines and radically reshaped the insert to eliminate friction and genital pressure, while providing matchless muscle support with tapered, wrinkle-free leg panels that mirror your personal physique.

Featured Fabrics
The shorts primary textile is OSSIDIA, striking the ideal balance between frictionless comfort and muscle-supporting compression. Its warp-knit composition is made with ultrathin, elastic yarns for muscle hold, breathability and a silky-smooth wrap along your low back and thighs. The front panel is made with LOSANGA, a new ASSOS-developed textile that eliminates pressure against sensitive areas.
Construction/ Fit
The GTO straps and leg panels are constructed using rollBar and one-piece Butterfly panel for proven stability. Each leg panel features out louvreTec darted construction, which tapers down the outside of each thigh for a custom, compressive hold. The GTO has two leg lengths: STANDARD and LONG (+3cm vs standard).
