Assos T.tiburus7 Bib Shorts Men's

Autumn riding is fraught with peril. We don't mean sudden storms, buffeting winds, and less daylight. Rather, we're talking about the dangers of over or under dressing for a bike ride.

The insert is the same featured in the race level T. equipes7 shorts. It boasts the same eight millimeters of memory foam, which fill the gaps while your body moves through the pedaling motion, and it incorporates the perforated waffle layer, which provides ventilation and a more forgiving ride. It also has the goldenGate feature, where the center sides of the chamois aren't stitched to the shorts' body. This...
