MILLE GTO Bib Shorts S11 Long

Assos of Switzerland MILLE GTO Bib Shorts S11 Long

The pinnacle of endurance comfort, refined with a frictionless, infused leg gripper, a construction that sheds weight while increasing comfort, and an ultraplush insert that’s as cooling as it is comfortable. Available in two leg lengths: standard and long (+3cm).

Behind the product
GTO is synonymous with luxury comfort in the saddle, and the latest generation does nothing but improve on that reputation. Comfort increased from the shoulders – where new, lighter bib strap construction increases breathability – to the leg openings – where the traditional silicone grip is replaced by low-volume, open-structured rings to maintain grip and improve airflow. The cranKio Tec darting at the hips eliminates material that might bunch during the pedal stroke, and a front panel of ultra-elastic, ultrabreathable LOSANGA textile is matched with our classic kukuPenthouse construction on the front of the insert, drastically increasing cooling airflow through the insert. Our proven OSSIDIA textile wraps your large muscles in silky-smooth compression, and the GTO S11 Insert – the most comfortable endurance model in the world – is locked into place by the stabilizing rollBar bib strap construction.

Technology overview
The finer details

FEATURED FABRICS 
The primary textile, OSSIDIA, strikes the ideal balance between frictionless comfort and muscle-supporting compression. Its warp-knit construction incorporates ultrathin elastic yarns for gentle, fatigue-reducing compression and body-mapping elasticity that wraps your large muscle groups in silky-smooth comfort. An insert of LOSANGA on the crotch panel eliminates pressure and increases cooling airflow.

CONSTRUCTION/FIT 
The epitome of our regularFit, engineered for total comfort on the longest rides. The GTO model is upgraded with cranKio Tec, targeted shaping on the hip that eliminates bunching during the pedal stroke.

ENGINEERING
rollBar:
A patented bracing design adapted from the Racing Series. Stabilizes the insert and locks it in place as your weight transfers while sprinting, climbing, and cornering.

ENGINEERING
INject leggripper:
Silicone grip infused through the back of the raw-cut leg opening, reducing friction and protecting the grip from sun or sweat damage while maintaining a secure hold.

ENGINEERING
cranKio Tec:
Reduces wrinkling across the front of the hips during the pedal stroke to eliminate movement and friction between the textile and the rider.

ENGINEERING
zeroPressure Waist:
A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.

GTO S11 Insert
Shock-Absorb Damping System Twin:
A dual-layer, 21mm construction with additional support beneath the ischial bones.

GTO S11 Insert
goldenGate 2.0:
The insert is attached at the front and rear, letting it float to move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.

GTO S11 Insert
kraterCooler:
Perforations in the insert’s leading edge draw intercooling air to maintain breathability and a dry, cool microclimate.

GTO S11 Insert
whirlKrater:
Perforations are strategically distributed throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow instead of just a unidirectional breeze.
