The EF Pro Cycling Team's kit for 2026—which officially bears the slogan "WE RIDE IN PEACE"—was designed to resemble the suits worn by astronauts on the first space flights. While the silver stitching and number details don't reflect actual conditions in space, the R S11 platform they're integrated into is certainly suitable for all racing conditions you'll encounter on this side of the stratosphere.
The R S11 offers the technology of the high-quality RS SCHTRADIVARI Bib Shorts S11 in a simpler design. These shared technologies include raw-cut leg cuffs, minimalist silicone grips, and lightweight, compressive Type.911 fabric. Essentially, the RS and R models differ in the R S11 insert and the strap construction: both have been simplified and thus optimized for pure racing suitability.
FEATURED FABRICS
Type.911 is a fabric with a silky-soft, abrasion-resistant texture that provides stabilizing compression. The black is deeper than in the previous model and does not lose its intensity even when stretched. It is also water repellant and dries quickly, preventing weight gain from residual moisture, has odorControl properties, and protects with UPF 50+.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
RacingFit is an aerodynamic second-skin silhouette developed based on feedback from the WorldTour, where it has proven itself with corresponding results. The micro-adjusted shape envelops the large muscles with compressive support in a racingFit standard length that is slightly longer than the standard length of the regularFit.
ENGINEERING
-zeroPressure Waist: A waistband made of highly elastic material that fits like a second skin while reducing pressure in aggressive riding positions.
-skinGrip Finish: Raw-cut hems with a minimalist anti-slip finish ensure that the pant legs stay in place even without seams, without creating excessive pressure.
-X-Frame: A-frame straps adopted from the EQUIPE RS line. They limit sagging in the lower back and stabilize the seat insert and main panel during high-intensity rides.
EQUIPE R S11
-Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9: Compressive foam in a breathable 9 mm racing platform. Thermoformed molding reduces edges and irritation.
-3D Waffle: A patented, perforated three-layer foam that increases breathability and avoids excess weight.
-goldenGate 2.0: The insert is attached at the front and rear, while the sides and center remain loose. This allows it to move with the body rather than against it. New cutouts on the sides reduce volume and friction when pedaling on the pedals.
