A platform that’s proven itself in the world’s toughest races
Complete with highly compressive textiles and ultra-breathable Krater Ventilated insert.
The FF1 RSR Bib Shorts merge compressive textiles, refined race insert, and trusted aerodynamic patterning to create a special short that's only available in this collection. To start, Assos rely on the all-new Type.701kompressor - the successor to the lauded S7 Campionissimo kompressor - which is a complex woven textile that delivers on all fronts using ultrathin yarns with super-high elasticity, yielding a near-frictionless weave that provides you with incredible comfort and muscle support. In other words, Type.701 becomes your second skin, delivering phenomenal structural hold, breathability, and a silky smooth, uninterrupted wrap along the low back and thighs.
For the insert, Assos incorporated their race-proven EQUIPE EVO, equipped with 8mm of memory foam, a black 3D waffle topsheet, and the unique kraterCooler system to boost breathability. The back panel is constructed using the acclaimed Y7 Frame Carrier design and Stabilizator mesh, resulting in a flat, stable structure that disappears between the shoulder blades for a smooth, supportive hold. At the front, zeroWaist ensures the cleanest and most comfortable transition between the abdominals and the front fabric panel possible, made using a raw cut with tape reinforcement.
Features of the Fast Forward One RSR Bib Shorts
Type.701kompressor: A patented woven textile developed specifically for compressive hold and second-skin comfort. 160g/m2, UPF 50+, dyed-through yarns with infused odorControl, maximum abrasion-resistance, friction reduction, hydrophobicity, and heat management. Tuned elongation in front panel for added comfort.
Y7 Frame Carrier Bib Tech: Wide, flexible bib straps converge at the upper back in a Y-shape design, resulting in a flat, stable structure that disappears between the shoulder blades.
Stabilizator V3: Dorsal stabilizer in a solid mesh with limited vertical stretch. Includes EQUIPE RS and FF1 graphics.
superFlat grippers: Ultra minimal grippers with optimal stretch return to secure the shorts in place without any excessive pressure.
zeroWaist: A raw-cut, tape-reinforced edge for the smoothest transition possible between the body and fabric panel. More comfort with less pressure.
EQUIPE S7 EVO: The EQUIPE elastic interface insert, evolved. New black colorway, and proven 8mm of memory foam, this insert is nestled at the intersection between comfort and performance.
3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert's side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.
kraterCooler: System of small holes in the front of the insert that increases airflow so that your sensitive areas are kept cooler.
Reflective Accents: Small strips placed on the backs of the legs for added visibility.
racingFit: A fit that is tighter and slightly more compressive than the regularFit options. It may feel restrictive out of the riding position but feels like a second skin while riding, resulting in improved comfort and less drag.
