{"product_id":"assos-mille-gt-half-shorts-s11","title":"Assos Mille GT Half Shorts S11","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAssos Mille GT Half Shorts S11\u003c\/strong\u003e exist for specific circumstances: indoor training sessions, early-morning coffee rides, and days hot enough that bib straps become an unnecessary complication. They're not trying to replace the Mille GT Bib Shorts — they're the answer for the rides when you want the same insert performance and fit quality without the shoulder straps. The S11 generation refines the formula with a new QUARTZ body textile, a more breathable insert, an extended leg length, and a lower overall weight than the previous generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe QUARTZ textile is a lightweight warp-knit fabric built with permanent odorControl and 80% pre-consumer recycled polyamide. The true-black color holds its depth under stretch — it won't turn translucent during a ride — and the construction prioritizes breathability and quick-drying performance (rated 5\/5 by Assos) to match the warm-weather conditions these shorts are built for. A front panel of Sens AIR adds targeted support and ventilation across the lower stomach, eliminating pressure in aggressive riding positions where a solid panel would restrict movement. The waist system combines hipClick construction — elastic and mesh layers with a high, unrestrictive rise — with a zeroPressure waistband that holds securely without pinching. At the leg openings, PILtec Plug-In provides grip through a microdot silicone treatment embedded in an ultrabreathable textile band, invisible from the outside but effective in both wet and dry conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe GT S11 insert runs 12mm deep and brings Assos's full endurance padding stack to the half shorts format. Mono12 compressive foam provides a thermoformed base that reduces ridges and friction across long efforts. The 3D Waffle layer — a patented three-layer perforated foam — manages heat and moisture while cutting unnecessary weight. goldenGate 2.0 sits at the center as a free-floating construction that moves with your body through the pedal stroke rather than resisting it; updated cut-outs on the wings further reduce friction where it matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Textile:\u003c\/strong\u003e QUARTZ — lightweight warp knit | permanent odorControl | 80% recycled polyamide\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Panel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sens AIR — breathable, supportive panel across lower stomach\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert:\u003c\/strong\u003e GT S11 | 12mm | Mono12 + 3D Waffle + goldenGate 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist:\u003c\/strong\u003e hipClick + zeroPressure Waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeg Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e PILtec Plug-In | microdot silicone | wet and dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e regularFit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;69.8°F \/ 21°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreathability:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\/5 | \u003cstrong\u003eQuick-Drying:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/5 | \u003cstrong\u003eRide Intensity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e blackSeries\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS–3XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eQUARTZ Textile with Sens AIR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      QUARTZ is Assos's latest body fabric for the GT lineup — lighter and more durable than what it replaces, with a true-black color that doesn't bleed under stretch. The 80% recycled polyamide content addresses sustainability without compromising the performance properties Assos demands. The Sens AIR front panel adds a second layer of intent: ventilation where the shorts are in closest contact with your core, and enough support to keep the waist system stable without added bulk.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eGT S11 Insert\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The same insert technology that goes into the full Mille GT Bib Shorts S11. At 12mm, it's an endurance-depth pad designed for multi-hour sessions, not just short efforts — which is exactly what indoor training and long warm-weather rides demand. The goldenGate 2.0 free-floating construction is the detail that separates this insert from cheaper alternatives: it moves independently rather than dragging against your skin, which compounds into real comfort over time in the saddle.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Assos","offers":[{"title":"Blackseries \/ XS","offer_id":45360470589484,"sku":"11.10.316.18.XS","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blackseries \/ S","offer_id":45360470523948,"sku":"11.10.316.18.S","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blackseries \/ M","offer_id":45360470491180,"sku":"11.10.316.18.M","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blackseries \/ L","offer_id":45360470458412,"sku":"11.10.316.18.L","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blackseries \/ XL","offer_id":45360470556716,"sku":"11.10.316.18.XL","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blackseries \/ 2XL","offer_id":45360470392876,"sku":"11.10.316.18.2XL","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blackseries \/ 3XL","offer_id":45360470425644,"sku":"11.10.316.18.3XL","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/ASSOS-MILLE-GT-HALF-SHORT-S11-BLACKSERIES-1_f4ee6fcc-40de-470f-b7d6-e256e34a0839.jpg?v=1772750695","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/assos-mille-gt-half-shorts-s11","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
