Assos TACTICA Spring Fall Bib Shorts T5 - black series

The changeable conditions in the transitional period present a special challenge in the terrain. That's why we developed the TACTICA Spring Fall Bib Shorts T5, where we combine technologies from the road-oriented MILLE GT line with robust versatility for rides beyond the asphalt. The RX EVO textile forms a highly insulating, breathable barrier against bad weather and is suitable for comfortable rides in spring and autumn on trails and gravel. Two thigh pockets provide additional storage for essential items and provisions for longer exploration tours. The proven rollBar technology secures the gravel-optimised TACTICA T5 insert, which dampens bumps and allows you to glide smoothly over trails.

Featured Fabrics 
RX EVO is a breathable, thermoregulating textile with a water-repellent ECO finish and a soft, brushed inner side. The elastic elements are consistently black and do not turn white when the material stretches. The pockets use panels made of K-Net, a breathable mesh in tricot binding that stabilises and securely envelops the contents.

Construction/Fit
The movement-promoting Tactica T5 fit is less aggressive than our racing fit and strikes a balance between sleek aerodynamics with low volume, comfort over many hours, and less restriction when you are not in the saddle.

Engineering
rollBar: A patented reinforcement design that we adopted from the Racing Series. It stabilises the insert and keeps it in position when you shift your weight during sprints, climbs, and cornering.

zeroPressure Waist: A waistband made of soft, highly elastic material that improves comfort and hold in the waist area without pressing or pinching.

PILtec Plug-In: The leg opening is equipped with a lightweight, ultra-breathable textile band. The externally invisible micro-point silicone treatment stabilises the fit and provides grip even when wet.

Tactica T5 insert
Shock-Absorb Damping Mono: A single breathable, 11 mm thick layer that ensures comfort off-road by dampening micro shocks and vibrations on gravel paths and singletracks.

goldenGate 2.0: 
The insert is attached at the front and back, while the sides and the middle remain loose. This allows it to move with your body rather than against it. New cutouts on the sides reduce volume and friction when pedalling.

3D Waffle: 
A patented, perforated three-layer foam that enhances breathability and avoids unnecessary weight.
