For the 2014 edition of the ABSA Cape Epic, ASSOS participated with two powerful ASSOS Werksmannschaft racing teams under the lead of Captain Giuseppe Ribolzi.

After a careful selection process, the following Werksmannschaft riders were chosen: Daniele Nardello, who will head up the two Assos Werksmannschaft squads, and compatriot Luca Zanasca, and our mixed team of Sarah Koba and Karl Zoetemelk.

MANY LITTLE INNOVATIONS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR MTB & OFFROAD APPLICATIONS ARE AT THE CORE OF THIS SHORTS. ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES IS THE IMPACTPADS, SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED FOR THESE SHORTS.

WHAT IS IT? ENGINEERED WITH THE SAME SPIRIT AS THE T.RALLY, WE BELIEVE THIS REPRESENTS THE PINNACLE OF MTB-SPECIFIC HIGH PERFORMANCE TREKKING JERSEYS – LIGHT, ANATOMICALLY PRE-SHAPED AND PROTECTIVE. IT IS THE FIRST ASSOS PRODUCT TO BE SOLD ONLY IN COMBINATION WITH AN ASSOS SKINFOIL_S7 BASELAYER. WHY? BECAUSE THE RIDER NEEDS IT, AND THIS COMBINATION ENSURES MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. ALS CLIMARANGE SUMMER HOW TO USE IT? ALWAYS IN COMBINATION WITH AN ASSOS BASELAYER. NOTE THAT THE BACK PANEL IS AN INNOVATIVE 3-D MESH CONSTRUCTION THAT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES, AS WELL AS ONE CONCERN: REDUCED UV PROTECTION. WEARING AN ASSOS BASELAYER RESOLVES THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. IF THE RIDER PREFERS TO NOT WEAR THE BASELAYER, WE RECOMMEND SUNSCREEN BE APPLIED TO THE RIDER’S BACK. ALS TIPS ON LONG RIDES AT HIGH ALTITUDES, BRING ALONG A SECOND BASELAYER.

THE CONSTRUCTION BASED ON _S7 BUT ADAPTED TO MTB ERGONOMICS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT BIKE AND RIDER POSITIONING, AND THE MTB-SPECIFIC APPLICATION. OFFROADRALLY AEPD THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS CUT WAS THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING, STUDYING IN DETAIL MTB BIKING POSITION AND NEEDS. THE KEY FABRIC CREATING THE ASSOS TYPE.188 FABRIC WAS A LONG AND DIFFICULT PROCESS, BUT ASSOS R&D+R ACCOMPLISHED THE TASK. LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE, BUT MORE ROBUST, AND SPECIFICALLY ENGINEERED AND EXCLUSIVELY PRODUCED BY AND FOR ASSOS OF SWITZERLAND FOR THIS LINE. AN EXCLUSIVE LITTLE MASTERPIECE MADE IN EUROPE. CONCLUSION MOST OF US COULD PROBABLY LIVE WITHOUT AN MTB-SPECIFIC JERSEY, BUT IF YOU DEMAND THE EXTRAORDINARY, THIS IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU. A FUTURE ASSOS ICON.

WHAT IS IT? THE NEW SKINFOILS REPRESENT THE GENETIC EVOLUTION OF THE OUTGOING LINE OF ASSOS SKINFOIL BASELAYERS. BASED ON OUR SEAMLESS TUBULAR KNITTING TECHNOLOGY, ASSOS SKINFOIL_S7 BASELAYERS REPRESENT THE INNER CORE OF THE ALS, THE ASSOS LAYERING SYSTEM. THEY ARE YOUR NEXTTO-SKIN FIRST-LAYER PRODUCT. WITHOUT A PROPERLY FITTING SKINFOIL, THE REST OF YOUR OUTFIT CANNOT PERFORM TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL. WHEN WEARING ASSOS, ALWAYS WEAR AN ORIGINAL ASSOS BASELAYER WITH IT — IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO MAXIMIZE THE ASSOS TOTAL COMFORT EXPERIENCE. ALS CLIMARANGE THE GENERAL DIRECTION IN ASSOS IS TOWARD REDUCING THE SEVEN CLIMARANGE OUTFITS TO FOUR. THIS IS POSSIBLE THANKS TO THE ULTIMATE IN TECHNOLOGY AND INTELLIGENCE, WHICH WE ARE UTILIZING TO INCREASE THE ACTION RADIUS OF OUR FABRICS, CREATING TEXTILES THAT WORK IN A WIDER TEMPERATURE RANGE. THIS NEW ASSOS BASELAYER FAMILY HAS BEEN ENGINEERED WITH JUST THIS REDUCTION IN MIND — LESS IS MORE. HOW TO USE IT? ALONE, DIRECTLY ON YOUR SKIN, UNDERNEATH BIBS AND JERSEY. THE ASSOS SKINFOIL IS YOUR FIRST NEXT-TO-SKIN GARMENT, ENGINEERED TO WORK AS YOUR PERSONAL MICROCLIMA TRANSPORTER BARRIER TO PULL AND PUSH MOISTURE TO THE NEXT OR OUTER SHELL LAYER. NOTE: THE BASELAYER OPERATES OPTIMALLY AFTER IT BECOMES SLIGHTLY MOIST WHEN RIDING. THIS IS A GOOD SIGN! SKINFOIL FIBRES USE THIS HUMIDITY AS AN INSULATOR OR COOLANT TO HELP KEEP YOU COMFORTABLE. ALS TIPS WE NOW HAVE ONLY FOUR MODELS: SUMMER, SPRING / FALL, EARLYWINTER AND WINTER. EASY AND CLEAR. INTEGRATE THESE BASELAYERS PROPERLY INTO YOUR ALS OUTFIT. THE INTENSITY OF SWEATING – AND ITS ASSOCIATED COOLING EFFECT – DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF RIDE, YOUR EXERCISE INTENSITY, YOUR UNIQUE BODY AND YOUR FITNESS LEVEL. SO, PLAY WITH YOUR SKINFOILS, USING THEM IN A HIGHER OR LOWER CLIMARANGE CONDITION UNTIL YOU DETERMINE YOUR PERFECT, PERSONAL ALS.

THE GENERAL RULE OF THUMB IS, THE MORE YOU SWEAT, THE LIGHTER YOU SHOULD DRESS. FOR EXAMPLE, USING THE LS.SPRING/FALL_SKINFOIL_S7 IN COMBINATION WITH THE EARLYWINTER HABUJACKET CAN BE ENOUGH IF YOU ARE A FREQUENT RIDER IN MILD, EARLYWINTER CONDITIONS. BUT ANOTHER RIDER WHO EXERCISES AT A LOWER INTENSITY MIGHT WANT TO TRY A WINTER SKINFOIL IN THIS SITUATION. THE CONSTRUCTION • NEW TECHNOLOGY: TRANSPORT MESH FOR ARTICLE 1.4, SUMMER. INCREASED BREATHABILITY, FASTER PUSH-PULL EFFECT, AND NEW V-CUT NECK TO INCREASE AIR FLOW. • NEW TEXTURED YARN FOR ARTICLE 2.4, SPRING-FALL. REDUCED VOLUME WITH PERFECT INSULATING EFFECT. INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE: OPEN MESH. THE FABRIC WORKS ACTIVELY TO TRANSFER SWEAT TO OUTER LAYERS. • NEW COMPOSITION FOR ARTICLE 3.4, EARLYWINTER, WITH 97% POLYPROPYLENE, PERFECT ELASTICITY AND COMFORT, PLUS LESS VOLUME TO LET BODY DRY FASTER, PROTECTING AGAINST COLD AND HUMIDITY. • NEW DESIGN FOR ARTICLE 4.4, WINTER, WITH A NEW NECK CONSTRUCTION (SOFTER, AND MORE COMFORTABLE WITHOUT ZIP) AND DOUBLE-COLOR SYSTEM BETWEEN SLEEVES AND BODY. • NEW, IMPROVED SOFT COMPRESSION PATTERN DESIGN. CAMPIONISSIMO AEPD THE BEAUTY OF THIS TUBULAR SEAMLESS CONSTRUCTION IS ITS COZY FIT, THANKS TO EXTREME ELASTICITY, WHICH ALLOWS A BASIC REGULARFIT PATTERN DESIGN THAT ADAPTS EASILY TO DIFFERENT BODY TYPES. THE KEY FABRIC WE ARE BUILDING ON THE CURRENT SKINFOIL GENERATION OF FABRICS, AND ADDING MORE. ONE IS POLYPROPYLENE WHICH, THANKS TO ITS NON-ABSORBENT, WICKING PROPERTIES, HELPS TO ENSURE EXCELLENT MOISTURE MANAGEMENT. AS WELL, IT IS ONE OF THE LIGHTEST FIBERS. WE USE IT TO MAXIMIZE COMFORT. AND DEPENDING ON THE GARMENT, WE COMPLEMENT POLYPROPYLENE WITH POLYESTER OR SPANDEX TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED FABRIC FEATURES (ELASTICITY, ETC.) CONCLUSION WITH THE ASSOS SKINFOIL_S7 BASELAYER, WE SIMPLY PERFECTED WHAT WAS ALREADY SUPERB, AND WE MANAGED TO REDUCE COMPLEXITY WHILE INCREASING PERFORMANCE!
