A-Lock Engineering: S9 racingFit system comprising new textiles and technologies working in harmony to stabilize the shorts and secure the insert in place. Butterfly Pattern: The primary textile panel fully wrapping the lower back and legs, coming together in the rear. Fewer seams leads to a more uniform hold, less weight, and greater comfort. Type.701kompressor: A patented woven textile developed specifically for compressive hold and second-skin comfort. 160g/m2, UPF 50+, dyed-through yarns with infused odorControl, maximum abrasion-resistance, friction reduction, hydrophobicity, and heat management. Tuned elongation in front panel for added comfort. ergoBox: A square pattern construction that effectively frames the insert in the back, boxing it in for added stability. Carbon Xbib: A single section of elastic materialfolded over on itselfforming a supportive A-frame that delivers limited vertical stretch in the rear. Above the X junction, a more flexible material is employed, incorporating an antibacterial carbon weave, to wick moisture and lay flat in the front. zeroWaist: A raw-cut, tape-reinforced edge for the smoothest transition possible between the body and fabric panel. More comfort with less pressure. Ultralight Leg Grippers: A light silicon treatment woven into the leg bands, which reduces fabric bulk and secures the shorts in place without any excessive pressure. 30% Seam Reduction: Flatter seams throughout, with fewer overall, translates to more comfort and lower overall weight (160g). mod.Dep S9 Basalt: Antibacterial microfiber booster top sheet in 3D basalt colorway. Pays homage to the lava stone that gives us strength, stability, and courage. superAir microShock foam:A lightweight open cell foam with a shock absorbing composition that returns to its original position, filling the gap every time pedalling position is changed in the saddle through the shift of weight. 3D waffle: A patented, three-layer perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight. Surface Reduction Design: Insert footprint reduced from previous Equipe Evo pattern to shed extra grams. goldenGate: A patented technology that interrupts the stitching along both of the insert's side panels, allowing a more three-dimensional freedom of movement in this sensitive, rotational area. Horizontal Stabilizer: a patented central stitch that secures the rear of the insert to the outer textile, eliminating shifting while pedalling out of the saddle. kraterCooler: System of small holes in the front of the insert that increases airflow so that your sensitive areas are kept cooler. <video controls="controls" width="500" height="500"><source src="https://cdn.assos.com.filoblu.com/media/video/insert_11.10.191.18.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>
