Assos MILLE GTC KIESPANZER Bib Shorts C2

Assos MILLE GTC KIESPANZER Bib Shorts C2

Created for the adventurous cyclists seeking new places to explore, the Assos MILLE GTC KIESPANZER Bib Shorts C2 give you extra storage options, durable fabrics and a high-quality pad created for the demands of rough gravel roads and trails. 

Escaping the city, heading off-road to avoid the hassles of dealing with traffic and getting to discover new places by bike, be it just for a few hours or on a multi-day tour; this is where the MILLE GTC KIESPANZER Bib Shorts C2 are most at home. 

While you may have a mix of frame-, handlebar- and saddle-bags for storage the KIESPANZER offer more immediately accessible storage space. Rather than delving into bags, the thigh and lower back mesh pockets allow easy access even on the move – ideal for snacks, essential spares and smartphones for documenting your ride. 

Fo long days in the saddle, Assos has also given the shorts reflective stripes, ensuring you’ll be visible during an early morning start or for those last few kilometres to camp/hotel where the sun has long but disappeared and darkness cloaks the landscape. 

Built Tough. And Comfortable. 

With a focus on off-road and multi-day bike packing, Assos have used a combination of Type.429 fabrics and ‘Bunny Hop’ side panels. The ‘Bunny Hop’ panels fit and feel like a regular performance textile, thanks to its woven polyamide/elastane blend, but it’s highly abrasion-resistant too, fending off pulls and scratches from trail-side overgrowth. 

Meanwhile, Type.429 fabric delivers a snug flexible fit to ensure you enjoy a streamlined and flexible fit. It’s also highly breathable, perfect for high summer rides and durable to resist the abuse of countless kilometres on the saddle. And with light compression, helps push back fatigue as your venture further and further into the wilds. 

Assos AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Regular Fit 

Finding the perfect harmony of long-ride comfort and smooth, flexible fit, the Assos AEPD Regular Fit isn’t so compressive as their RaceFit but it’s certainly not going to slow you down. Tuned for comfort in the saddle and mobility off the bike. 

At the legs, the Silicone Leg Grippers are a robust version of their Superlight grippers. These provide a solid hold of the shorts, even across rough trails, and grip without the need for bulky grip applique

MILLE GTC C2 Insert

Tuned for the extra demands of rough off-road riding, the MILLE GTC C2 Insert features the Shock-Absorb Damping Twin system. This consists of MicroShock and FilterFoam in two layers and a total of 19mm of bump-absorbing gravel comfort. An odour-resistant top sheet also keeps you fresher when on the bike.

3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation and thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. The kraterCooler design also sees perforations across the leading edge of the pad, drawing in cool air and boosting breathability. 

Lastly, there’s the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to ‘float’ allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.
