Assos Equipe RS S9 Targa jersey

Performance, comfort and quality: the characteristics that make the Equipe RS S9 Targa jersey stand out in the saddle


The new Equipe RS S9 Targa short-sleeved race jersey is the latest generation version that is more comfortable than ever: the combination of aerodynamics and comfort makes you forget you are wearing it when you ride. Assos has developed a jersey for the WorldTour, which was created for determined cyclists who sponsor themselves but demand professional performance, and has been totally improved: the Targa generation incorporates the aerodynamic details of the previous jersey, but brings greater comfort and structural stability.

Technology

Featured fabric
Assos has combined Check Tex (the traditional Assos jersey fabric) with Stabilizer to ensure stable pockets. This fabric combination controls odour, facilitating breathability and airflow. Sleeves and pockets in ladderproof Push Pull fabric provide breathability and stable, two-way stretch. Fabrics provide UPF 25 sun protection in front, 30 in back and 50+ on sleeves.

Construction/fit
AeroFit, the most aggressive, aerodynamic, compressive and fast cut, is designed for the WorldTour. So it meets the demands of any finish line. The aerodynamic fit may feel tight when you're standing, but it's perfect when you're riding.

Bonded seams
Assos prefers the seams to be taped, rather than stitched, to reduce bulk and chafing: it's a clean finish, indicative of engineering expertise and meticulous design.

Triple Ramp Pockets
Three compartment pockets with preformed construction for increased capacity and stability when loaded. A strip of fabric closes the pockets and secures your belongings from falling out, and the right pocket has a hole for the earphone cable to pass through.

Raw-Cut Sleeves
With no sewn-in hems, these raw-cut sleeves eliminate a key obstacle to the aerodynamics of the jersey: the heat-taping has also been eliminated for a truly smooth hem and unrestricted finish.
