TheAssos Men's Tactica Bib Shorts T5 Black Seriesareoff-road cycling bib shorts designed for gravel and trailriding. They are engineered for performance and durability, featuring a compressive, breathable textile and a revised insert for enhanced shock absorption.
Key features
Off-road design: The Tactica T5 is the replacement for the GTC KIESPANZER C2 bibs and is specifically designed to handle the demands of gravel paths and singletrack trails.
Compressive fabric: The shorts are constructed with Type.911 textile, which provides a compressive yet smooth and abrasion-resistant finish. The fabric is also hydrophobic and fast-drying.
Updated insert: The T5 generation features an updated, more cushioned insert with shock-absorbing foam to dampen trail chatter and absorb repeated impacts.
GoldenGate 2.0: The chamois is attached at the front and back but left unstitched at the sides, allowing it to move with the body to reduce friction.
3D Waffle: A patented three-layer, perforated foam construction in the chamois increases breathability and reduces weight.
Integrated storage: Two large, triple-ramp thigh pockets made from a breathable K-Net mesh provide secure storage for essentials.
RollBar technology: Adopted from Assos's high-intensity road racing line, this system stabilizes the insert to keep it properly positioned during sprints and cornering.
Comfort fit: TheTACTICA T5 bibshave a less aggressive cut compared to Assos's racingFit, providing a balance of aerodynamics and long-ride comfort. The zeroPressure Waist further enhances comfort by using a soft, highly elastic material.
