assos - CENTO Evo

The evolution of ASSOS' iconic Cento, fully loaded with refined details and its proven long-distance-comfort recipe. The latest iteration of this staple, fully loaded bib short takes that sentiment a step further - with an updated insert. The next evolution in comfort: the CENTO Evo Bib Shorts by ASSOS ASSOS began with the Type.439 textile for the main panels, as it's incredibly comfortable against your skin. With two different rates of four-way stretch, it also delivers a nice, compressive hold for a smooth, supportive wrap along the thighs. This proprietary fabric provides exceptional breathability, and it rapidly transfers moisture to its quick-drying outer surface. As with the original Cento, the fit is a touch more generous around the lower abdominals than ASSOS' racingFit options, and they added the new raw-cut zeroWaist to ensure a smooth and comfortable hold on a variety of body types. The back panel is constructed using their acclaimed Y7 Frame Carrier design and Stabilizator mesh, resulting in a flat, stable structure that disappears between the shoulder blades for a smooth, supportive hold. In terms of the insert, it’s the new black Cento Evo, featuring 10 mm of plush memory foam and kukuPenthouse microfiber layer for dependable comfort and support on every ride.

The pad, now in black, is equipped withASSOS Waffle , a unique three-layer foam used in the ASSOS inserts with perforations. Instead of using monolithic linear foam as the middle layer, S7 is equipped with a perforated foam resulting in a reduction of weight and increased breathability. In addition the pad featuresASSOS goldenGate : A patented technology which augments the performance of the insert by allowing the most fluent movement with the body. Before the S7 generation, all cycling shorts inserts have been fastened (sewn or glued) to shorts all the way around.goldenGate interrupts the sewing in the area between the legs, creating 3 dimensional freedom of movement right in the most sensitive area. No seams, hence reduced friction – basically non existing. This unique upholstery is completed bykukuPenthouse : An innovation on the front part of the upholstery that envelops the male anatomy and offers protection and optimal temperature control. Perfect for long days in the saddle! regularFit A body mapped performance fit that is a little less aggressive than ASSOS' racingFit. The best of both worlds, wearability and speed converging. A balance between the more compressive racingFit and the looser comfortFit. AEPD (Advanced Ergonomic Pattern Design) Stand for the company's know-how, experience and philosophy on how a garment should be tailored to function in the cyclist's position. ASSOS garments are designed to perfectly fit and adhere to the body, in other words, to respect the anatomy of the cycling body. High-tech fabrics are pointless if cut "wrong"! ALS (ASSOS Layering System) Less is more. The entire ASSOS collection is conceptualized around this technology. ASSOS apparel is engineered with minimum volume, taking advantage of the body's natural heating/cooling capacities by insulating intelligently through pro-active layering. Both fabrics and garments have chain functions and are cut to complement each other. Everything fits like a puzzle; technically as well as aesthetically. It is up to each cyclist to follow the climate range guidelines and to experiment with the different ASSOS garments in order to find the perfect personal outfit for each specific riding season.
