Being the official clothing sponsor of a World Tour Team like BMC is a double edge sword. On one hand, you get consistent feedback from riders putting in more miles than we can dream of that help refine the clothing. On the other hand, pros are used to having their way, so you have to be adaptable and meet their needs. Ultimately, we think we win out, allowing the pros to put in the R&D time while we reap the benefits. Assos' T Equipeshorts S7 Bmc is a slight update to the bib it supplies the team, meeting the requests they asked for. Assos spent six years working closely with its Weksmannshcaft factory team in the development of the T. equipe_S7's, fine-tuning every detail until it was released to the cycling world. The T. equipe_S7's occupy the low-volume race-fit option among Assos' clearly defined _S7 line, crafting a streamlined and precise fit applied specifically while in the riding position. Assos uses its Type. 439 fabric to construct the main body of the shorts, a supportive synthetic material designed to transfer moisture quickly away from your skin as you ride while stabilizing your muscles with a moderately compressive five-panel design. Some degree of compression has become standard amongst top-end kits, and Assos isn't a stranger to its ability to limit fatigue-inducing road vibrations while you're riding for hours. Keep in mind that fatigue comes from riding in the heat too, so Assos chose to finish Type. 439 with an iceColor treatment aiming to reduce the surface temperature of dark fabrics prone to absorbing heat from the sun. This sounds ideal for clothing designed to tackle long days circling France for three weeks in the summer. The five-panel design Assos chose for the T. equipe_S7's is notably more minimal than the standard eight-panel construction adopted by most bib shorts. Assos' reasoning for choosing a five-panel design is that it achieves a slightly asymmetrical compressive hold that stretches more laterally than in a linear dir...
