ASSOS 2026 S/S TACTICA BIB SHORTS T5

Multi-use cargo bib shorts blending gravel and road performance

ASSOS TACTICA T5 are highly durable, high-performance off-road bib shorts designed for everything from racing to long-distance touring.

Building on previous models, these shorts feature enhanced lightness, breathability, and optimized compression, further improving performance on gravel and singletrack.

The Type.911 textile derived from our racing series and the rollBar construction provide a stable fit and support even during intense rides. Additionally, thigh pockets with increased storage capacity and the latest shock-absorbing insert ensure a comfortable and smooth ride, even on rough terrain.

[FEATURE]

• Type.911
  A warp-knit fabric that combines a silk-like feel with excellent abrasion resistance. It comes in a deeper black color than previous models and provides stable compression. Features hydrophobic properties, high breathability, odorControl, and UPF 50+ UV protection. The pockets utilize K-Net, a warp-knit mesh that combines support and breathability to hold stored items securely.
  
• Tactica T5 Fit
  Less aggressive than our racing fit, it achieves a high-level balance between aerodynamic performance, long-ride comfort, and ease of movement when off the bike.
  
• rollBar
  A brace construction derived from our racing series. It stabilizes and securely fixes the insert in place during sprinting, climbing, and weight shifting while cornering.
• zero Pressure Waist
  A soft, high-stretch waist construction that provides excellent hold while minimizing pressure and digging in.
• PILtec Plug-In
  A lightweight, ultra-breathable textile band placed at the leg openings. Features a micro-dot silicone finish that is invisible from the outside and maintains grip even when wet.
• Shock-Absorb Damping Mono
  An 11mm-thick single-layer foam designed for off-road use with built-in breathability. Effectively absorbs the micro-vibrations and impacts typical of gravel and singletrack riding.
• goldenGate 2.0
  Fixed at the front and back, the floating structure allows the insert to follow the body's movements. New side cuts reduce bulk and friction during pedaling.
• 3D Waffle
  A patented three-layer, perforated foam that reduces unnecessary weight while increasing breathability.
