ASSOS Tactica T5 Gravel Bib Short - Grey

Off-road bib shorts blending performance and durability for competition and touring alike, refined with integrated storage, a more compressive textile, and a simplified, weight-saving construction.

FEATURED FABRICS

Type.911 is a warp-knit textile with a silky-smooth, abrasion-resistant texture that provides stabilizing compression in a deeper, fuller black than the previous model. It's also hydrophobic and dries quickly, preventing weight gained through lingering moisture, and is equipped with odorControl properties and UPF 50+ protection. The pockets are created with panels of K-Net, a supportive, breathable warp-knit mesh that wraps contents in stabilizing security.

CONSTRUCTION/FIT

The TACTICA T5 mobility-enhancing fit is less aggressive than our racingFit, balancing streamlined, low-volume aerodynamics with multi-hour comfort and less restriction off the bike.

ENGINEERING

rollBar:
A patented bracing design adapted from the Racing Series. Stabilizes the insert and locks it in place as your weight transfers while sprinting, climbing, and cornering.

zeroPressure Waist:
A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.

PILtec Plug-In:
A lightweight, ultrabreathable textile band across the leg opening. The microdot silicone treatment is invisible from the outside but stabilizes fit and maintains grip while wet.

Integrated Storage:
Two triple-ramp thigh pockets securely stow ride essentials with easy access while the gravel or the trail demands full attention.

TACTICA T5 Insert

Shock-Absorb Damping Mono:
A single, breathable layer of 11mm of off-road comfort, engineered to absorb the micro-shocks and vibration of gravel and singletrack.

goldenGate 2.0:
The insert is attached at front and rear with floating sides and center, letting it move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.

3D Waffle:
patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
