The Assos Uma GT Half Shorts S11 Women’s Cycling Shorts featured here at Escapa are ultra-minimalist cycling shorts designed for comfort during daily rides or indoor training. They’ve been refined with a new fabric, a more breathable chamois, and an updated grip at the leg opening, reducing weight and lengthening the leg for a more modern silhouette.
Casual trips to the café, indoor training, or days that are too hot for bib shorts: the Assos Uma GT Half Shorts S11 Women’s Cycling Shorts are designed for specific situations where bib shorts are an unnecessary hindrance. The S11 generation updates Riders’ favorite design with a lighter, more durable main fabric, featuring a deep, authentic black. At the waist, a Sens AIR front panel adds stability, support, and breathability without restriction. The hipClick design wraps around the entire waist to secure the shorts in place with secure comfort. Despite the changes, breathability remains high, and the new Insert enhances cooling thanks to the addition of an ultralight front panel.
Product Technology
The new QUARTZ fabric is a lightweight, breathable warp-knit mesh with permanent odorControl. The true-black color does not turn white or become transparent when stretched during normal use, and 80% of its composition comes from pre-consumer recycled polyamide. A Sens AIR band at the lower abdomen eliminates pressure during aggressive pedaling positions.
Pattern / Fit
Our streamlined regularFit and body-contoured design minimize seams, eliminating friction for total comfort and easy layering.
PILtec Plug-In: A lightweight, ultra-breathable fabric band at the leg opening. The microdot silicone treatment—invisible from the outside—stabilizes the fit and maintains grip in both dry and wet conditions;
HipClick: A waistband construction that combines elastic and mesh layers with a high, non-restrictive rise to stabilize the panels and keep the insert in place;
ZeroPressure Waist: A soft, highly elastic waistband construction that enhances comfort and support without pressure or pinching.
GT S11 Insert
Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono12: Layers of compressive foam on a 12mm endurance platform. The thermoformed shape reduces pressure points and irritation;
3D Waffle: patented three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates unnecessary weight;
goldenGate 2.0: a free-floating construction that moves with the body rather than against it. New cutouts in the wings reduce friction throughout the entire pedaling cycle.
