Assos Equipe RS Jersey S11 review: Continuing to set the standard

When it comes to our list of the best cycling jerseys, Assos is a given for inclusion. That’s not a fact I need to dance around and tease out. While it’s not impossible next year’s jersey will be a fall from grace, it’s highly unlikely. The brand has been a stalwart option for cycling clothing at the highest level for as long as I’ve been paying attention. Among those options, the Equipe Racing Series (RS) line is the brand’s most focused on going fast and it’s been a while since it’s gotten an update. 

After a two-year drought, Assos has a brand new Equipe RS Jersey S11 available for summer riding. Like previous options, it’s meant for going fast and it’s best suited to time on a bike not cafe stops. Also like other Assos clothing, it aligns well with the way I ride a bike and it has several features that appeal to me. It won’t be for everyone though. 

If you are looking for a high-performing summer jersey, it’s always worth considering the latest Assos option. Now that I’ve had a chance to spend time in it, I’m ready to share my thoughts. As you consider what to wear this summer, keep reading to see what’s new with the Assos Equipe RS Jersey S11 and what makes the right choice for you, or not.
