Assos – Men’s CENTO EVO Bib Shorts – Black Series

Assos – Men’s CENTO EVO Bib Shorts – Black Series

Updated bib shorts with the comfort to help you go faster, for longer

ASSOS’ Cento bib shorts have evolved (hence the ‘EVO’ now in their name), and are fully loaded with refined details to go along with the proven long-distance-comfort recipe.

Cento is synonymous with long-distance comfort, and the latest iteration of these staple, fully loaded bib shorts further reinforces that link. The shorts are based on ASSOS’ much-favoured T Cento EVO comfort fit platform, but have evolved with the inclusion of an updated insert and refinements throughout.

Against your skin is still the same Type.439 textile in the main panels, as it’s incredibly comfortable against the skin. With two different rates of four-way stretch, it also offers a comfortable yet compressive hold for a smooth, supportive wrap over your thighs. This proprietary fabric provides exceptional breatheability, and it rapidly transfers moisture to its quick-drying outer surface.

As with the original Cento, the fit is a touch more generous around the lower abdominal muscles than ASSOS’ racingFit options, and the shorts feature new raw-cut zeroWaist to ensure a smooth and comfortable hold, whatever your body shape.

The back panel is constructed using the acclaimed Y7 Frame Carrier design and Stabilizator mesh, resulting in a flat, stable structure that lies flat between your shoulder blades for a smooth, supportive hold. The insert is made from ASSOS’ new black CENTO EVO, featuring 10mm of plush memory foam and kukuPenthouse for dependable comfort and support on every ride.

 

KEY FEATURES

Type.439 Diadema: A textile design created with our fabric suppliers to meet our demands of performance, comfort, and durability. Unique within the industry, the weave has two different rates of 4-way stretch, requiring great expertise to maximize the elasticity of the fabric on the cutting table.
CENTO7 EVO: The CENTO elastic interface insert, evolved. New black colorway, and our proven 10mm of memory foam, this insert is nestled at the intersection between comfort and performance.
3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breatheability but keeps weight to a minimum.
goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert’s side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area.
kukuPenthouse: A soft, brushed microfiber layer added to the front part of the insert that supports the male anatomy, eliminates pressure, and increases ventilation.
Y7 Frame Carrier Bib Tech: Wide, flexible bib straps converge at the upper back in a Y-shape design, resulting in a flat, stable structure that disappears between the shoulder blades.
Stabilizator V3: A stabilising reinforced pattern running the down your spine in a solid mesh with limited vertical stretch. Includes updated line graphics.
Ultralight Leg Grippers: A light silicon treatment woven into the leg bands, which reduces fabric bulk and secures the shorts in place without any excessive pressure.
zeroWaist: A raw-cut, tape-reinforced edge for the smoothest transition possible between the body and fabric panel. More comfort with less pressure.
Reflective Bands: Placed on the backs of the thighs for added visibility.
regularFit: Specially shaped for total comfort in the riding position, with a more relaxed cut than ASSOS’ second-skin racingFit.
