Assos F1 Cycling Shorts

Assos offer some of the best cycling shorts on the market. If you want to get the best possible comfort, it is worth looking at the popular F1 Range.

I have tested the Assos F1 Mile shorts. They are very comfortable and give a unique experience in the saddle. The dimpled ergonomic padding, helps to ease pressure points and the airflow is good for avoiding a build up of sweat. As long as you get the right size, they will fit effortless on the body, without creating any wind resistance.

Assos F1 UNO

The cheapest in the F1 series. This will still set you back £113. But, for the investment you will get a very comfortable ride. Fits very nicely and helps to cushion your ride, with multiple layers of padding designed to Swiss perfection.Once you get into the riding position the carbon fibre mesh insert helps to keep everything in place.

Assos F1 Mille

The mid series short at £150. Featuring the newly developed ASSOS Type A.360 sensitive compression Spandex F1 Mille

The Assos F1 13 S5 Bib Short.

At £215, it’s not entirely clear what you get for the astronomical price tag. The thing is that their (relatively) cheaper F1 series shorts are very comfortable, so it’s pretty hard to improve on them. They even have carbon fibre (3%) in them. They are designed for the serious racer, and they are so clinical that they are not designed to last forever, so it may be worth saving them for when you will really appreciate it.
