The Assos Mille GTO Bib Shorts S11 featured here at Escapa offer maximum comfort on long rides: they feature a friction-free grip on the leg panels, a more comfortable construction that reduces weight, and a super-padded chamois that wicks away heat. Available in two inseam lengths: standard and long (3 cm longer).
The GTO line is synonymous with luxurious comfort in the saddle, and the latest generation continues to build on its reputation. This model is more comfortable from the shoulders—which feature new, lighter, and more breathable straps—all the way down to the hem, where the traditional silicone grip has been replaced by one integrated into the fabric itself. The cranKio Tec gussets in the hip area eliminate fabric bunching that can occur while riding, while the front panel features our ultra-stretchy and ultra-breathable LOSANGA fabric.
Additionally, our classic kukuPenthouse construction on the front of the chamois dramatically increases airflow to wick away heat. Our proven OSSIDIA fabric wraps the large muscle groups in a material with gentle compression, and the GTO S11 Insert pad—the world’s most comfortable long-distance model—stays in place thanks to the stabilizing rollBar straps.
The product’s finest details
The main OSSIDIA fabric offers a perfect balance between friction-free comfort and muscle-supporting compression. Its warp-knitted structure incorporates ultra-fine elastic threads: this provides gentle compression to reduce fatigue, while also enveloping large muscle groups in a comfortable, elastic layer featuring body-mapping technology. A LOSANGA fabric insert in the crotch panel relieves pressure and increases airflow to wick away heat.
Fit
This model, the perfect example of our regularFit cut, offers total comfort on the longest rides. The GTO design has been updated with cranKio Tec technology, a localized shaping in the hip area that eliminates fabric bunching while riding.
Roll Bar
Patented straps, adapted from the Racing Series. Their design stabilizes the chamois and holds it in place when body weight shifts during sprints, climbs, and turns.
INject Leggripper:
A silicone grip integrated into the back of the seamless leg panel, which reduces friction, maintains a secure fit, and is protected from the sun and sweat.
CranKio Tec:
Reduces wrinkles on the front of the hips while pedaling to eliminate movement and friction between the fabric and the rider.
ZeroPressure Waist:
A soft, highly elastic waistband that provides greater comfort and support without feeling tight or pinching.
GTO S11 Insert. Shock-Absorb Damping System Twin:
This 21 mm thick, double-layer chamois features additional support under the sit bones.
GTO S11 Insert. Golden Gate 2.0
The pad, secured at the front and back, remains loose at the sides and in the center, allowing it to move with you without resistance. The new cutouts on the sides reduce both bulk and friction throughout the entire pedal stroke.
GTO S11 Insert. kraterCooler:
Perforations along the front edge of the pad promote airflow through it to maintain breathability and a cool, dry microclimate.
GTO S11 Insert. whirlKrater::
Strategically distributed perforations along the pad create a vortex of air rather than a unidirectional flow to dissipate heat.
