Assos EQUIPE RS Jersey S9 TARGA

When it comes to all-out speed on the bike, the Assos EQUIPE RS Jersey S9 TARGA ensures you remain as aero as possible while its outstanding comfort makes it virtually disappear when you’re in the saddle.

Proven in the heat and hectic world of summer WorldTour races, the EQUIPE RS Jersey S9 TARGA is the next step in the evolution of Assos' aerodynamic S9 range. Like its predecessor, it retains the same slippery aero details and fabrics, but the TARGA gets some tweaks to make it more comfortable than ever.

Assos RacingFit

When it comes to aerodynamic performance, the Assos RacingFit rewards you with a second-skin feel that won't waste watts. The low-drag, compressive fit feels odd off the bike, but adopt your aggressively low position on the bike and it all clicks into place. Compression in all the right places delivers outstanding comfort and support so you can concentrate on your performance.

Fast but Comfortable Fabrics

It's not just the fit that is fast. Fabrics are also chosen for their aero gains, as well as delivering outstanding moisture control and comfort.

To the front Assos deploys their 3D miniCheck Tex knit fabric. This highly elastic textile achieves a close but flexible fit of the body, keeping you mobile on the bike and delivering smooth aero performance as high speeds begin to bite.

Elsewhere, the rear of the jersey sees Assos' featherweight Stabilizer textile deployed. This holds the jersey smoothly in place thanks to its limited vertical stretch, keeping airflow smooth and uninterrupted while also supporting the rear pockets.

Lastly, taking into account a low and aggressive riding position, the raw-cut bonded Push-Pull textile sleeves eliminate any disruptive tape or seams from the leading edge, giving a true lie flat, low drag transition from jersey to skin.

Practical Features

With the focus on performance, the Assos team haven't overlooked those small practical details that you need when training and racing. To the back, the Triple Ramp Pockets are easily accessible and pre-structured for optimal capacity and stability when loaded. A flap also offers extra security, preventing items from spilling out.

An ultralight bonded cam-lock zipper to the front gives you full control of ventilation to the body and a lightweight taped waist keeps bulk low, the fit smooth. And with fabrics offering a range of ultraviolet protection, from UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 25 to 50, this is a jersey ideal for summer racing.
