The ASSOS T.neoPro_s7 was released in mid-2014 as part of the first generation of the _s7 shorts family. It served as the entry-level model of the new range, replacing the T.Uno_s5 and introducing multiple innovations derived from the ASSOS FENOMENO project and the London 2012 Olympic chronosuit.
Overview[]
From the archived Assos.com description (2014):
They’re ASSOS, so they use the exact same high-quality materials and technologies as the higher levels. But they have a simpler construction, they’re more essential, though plenty good enough for most applications. T.neoPro is the spiritual successor of the Uno _s5, just better, offering less weight and more performance. Simply an amazing pair of shorts! You need them!
Intended use[]
Designed for frequent riders and newcomers to the ASSOS comfort system. Recommended for daily training, commuting, or club-level performance riding.
Key technologies[]
- aeroPatterningFenomeno1: Result of wind-tunnel testing developed for the ASSOS FENOMENO chronosuit used by the Swiss National Team at the 2012 Olympics. Minimal-seam patterning provides improved aerodynamics and comfort. (Mod. Dep. & Patent Pending)
- Y7 frame carrier bibTech: Redesigned Y-shaped bib construction ensuring wrinkle-free positioning and stable fit.
- superFlat grippers: Ultra-light elastic leg grippers with calibrated stretch return, securing the shorts without excess pressure.
Main textiles[]
- A:E:M:T. (asymmetrical elastic module tech): Calibrated textile with directional elasticity for muscle support and movement stability.
- muscleStabilizer: Higher spandex content to reduce vibration and fatigue.
- odourControl: Antibacterial fiber treatment to slow fabric aging and reduce odor.
- abrasionProtec: Enhanced abrasion resistance compared with previous _s5 shorts.
Seat insert[]
- memoryFoam
- Originally introduced on the FI.13 _s2; returns to its shape after pressure release, adapting to rider movement.
- ASSOS goldenGate (Patent): Floating pad construction interrupting stitching between the legs for 3-D freedom of movement and reduced friction.
- ASSOS waffle (Patent): Perforated multi-layer foam replacing monolithic padding, reducing weight and increasing breathability.
