Description
WHAT IT IS
The entry into our Race Series, EQUIPE R combines technology from the EQUIPE RS system with simplified, everyday utility.
BEHIND THE PRODUCT
The EQUIPE R is built with our signature A-Lock Engineering construction that adapts technologies from the WorldTour-proven EQUIPE RS. It maintains racingFit stability with a muscle-wrapping butterfly panel and the new Type.443 textile, which compresses and breathes like the EQUIPE RS, but with a deeper black color. Monofilament elastic in the bib straps reduces weight and dries faster than dual-layer models, and the shorts are equipped with our core racing insert.
WHEN/HOW TO USE IT
For training and racing alike, the EQUIPE R equips riders with pure speed combined with everyday utility.
FINER DETAILS
FEATURED FABRICS
Type.443 is a compressive, abrasion-resistant warp-knit similar in weight and compressive stability to the Type.441 in our EQUIPE RS line. Ultrabreathable and ultra-supportive with a deeper, richer black color and UPF 50+. CONSTRUCTION/FIT
Our racingFit is a second-skin, aerodynamic silhouette designed with WorldTour feedback and proven with WorldTour results. Micro-adjusted shaping wraps the large muscles with compressive support in a standard leg length.
ENGINEERING
- zeroPressure Waist: Highly elastic waist construction that conforms with a second-skin fit while reducing pressure across the abdomen and sensitive areas.
- Ultralight Leg Grippers: Lighter than anything outside of the Racing Series, with compressive elastic bands and the security of silicone microdot grip.
- X-Frame: A-frame suspension inherited from the EQUIPE RS line. Limits sag on the lower back, stabilizing the insert and main body panel during high-intensity riding.
EQUIPE R S9
- Shock-Absorb Damping System Mono 9: Compressive foam materials in a breathable 9mm racing platform. Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation.
- 3D Waffle: A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight.
- goldenGate: The stitching pattern anchors the front and back but lets the insert’s body float, allowing the chamois to move with your body rather than against it.
