The Assos MILLE GT Half Shorts are designed for riders seeking endurance-level comfort in a waist-short format, offering a practical alternative to bibs for warm-weather riding, indoor training, and shorter to medium-distance efforts. They prioritize breathable support, stability, and long-ride comfort while maintaining a simple, versatile design.
Constructed with Assos’ QUARTZ warp-knit textile, these shorts deliver lightweight breathability, light compression, and built-in odor control for sustained freshness during intense or prolonged rides. The fabric is engineered to maintain opacity and structure even under stretch, while also incorporating recycled polyamide content to reduce environmental impact.
The waistband system is designed to provide secure hold without pressure or restriction. A high-rise construction combines elastic and mesh elements to stabilize fit around the waist, while a soft front panel reduces abdominal pressure in aggressive riding positions. This ensures the shorts remain secure without the discomfort often associated with traditional waist shorts.
At the leg openings, a stabilizing grip system with silicone microdot treatment helps keep the shorts in place across both dry and wet conditions without excessive compression. The overall regularFit cut is shaped for long-distance comfort, reducing seams and friction points for smoother movement on the bike.
The GT S11 insert provides long-ride support through a 12mm endurance foam platform with multi-density construction for vibration damping and pressure relief. Its 3D waffle structure improves breathability and reduces weight, while the goldenGate 2.0 design allows the insert to move with the rider rather than against them, minimizing friction throughout the pedal stroke.
