Assos Equipe RS S9 Targa Jersey

Our WorldTour short-sleeve race jersey, refined. The next-gen TARGA iteration is more comfortable than ever, combining aerodynamic speed and comfort that makes it virtually disappear when you're in the saddle.


BEHIND THE PRODUCT

We built a WorldTour jersey. Then we upgraded it for committed cyclists who sponsor themselves but demand pro-tier performance. Now we've upgraded it again. The TARGA generation incorporates the aerodynamic detailing of its predecessor with gains in comfort and structural stability. Performance, comfort, quality-the RS S9 TARGA's excellence is something you feel in the saddle.


TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

FEATURED FABRICS

The jersey combines a body of miniCheck Tex-responsible for the signature ASSOS jersey texture-with a Stabilizer insert to anchor the pockets. The blend resists odor while promoting breathability and cooling airflow. Sleeves and pockets of Push Pull warp knit add a breathable, bi-stretch fit that wraps in stabilizing stretch. The textiles provide UPF 25, 30, and 50+ for the front, back, and sleeves, respectively.

CONSTRUCTION/FIT

The most aggressive, most aerodynamic, most compressive, and - simply - the fastest option in our catalougy, racingFit is built for the WorldTour, so no start line is beyond its scope. The second-skin fit is restrictive while standing, but it clicks into place in the saddle.

ENGINEERING

Bonded seams:
We like our aerodynamic seams bonded, not sewn, reducing bulk, drag, and potential for irritation. A clean finish indicative of engineering expertise and meticulous design.
Triple Ramp Pockets:
Pre-structured to increase capacity and stability while loaded. A flap secures personal effects. and an earphone port in the right pocket keeps headphone or radio wires discreet.
Raw-Cut Sleeves:
Eliminating transitional ridges on the sleeves removes an aerodynamic impediment from the jersey's leading edge. We omit restrictive taping for a truly lie-flat, unrestrictive finish.

WHEN/HOW TO USE IT

Pair with the EQUIPE RS or RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA on fast, hot days for aerodynamics and comfort that exceed WorldTour equipment.
