Behind the product
Of the S11 changes, the addition of the rollBar suspension system, adapted from the Racing Series S9, is the most impactful. The new construction increases vertical stabilization and allows a less restrictive waist construction. Coverage across the stomach and lower back also increased, providing more supportive, breathable comfort around the waist while accommodating aggressive riding positions. The butterfly-wrap paneling returns for S11, enveloping your muscles in micro-adjusted, fatigue-reducing compression that balances long-distance comfort with competitive aerodynamics. Updated for S11, the latest GTS insert radically increases cooling airflow, and the dual-layer 13mm construction adds 4mm of targeted support to the 9mm base of microshock-absorbing foam.
Technology overview
The finer details
FEATURED FABRICSVolkano is a proprietary textile that faces in with silky-smooth compression and faces out with abrasion resistance, UPF 50+, and a rich, matte black color. Mineral Tec incorporated into the yarns grants permanent odorControl.
CONSTRUCTION/FITSituated between a pure endurance fit and a second-skin racingFit, the GTS regularFit is our most streamlined MILLE silhouette, providing aerodynamics with long-distance comfort. Available in two leg lengths: standard and long (+3cm).
ENGINEERING
rollBar:
A patented bracing design adapted from the Racing Series. Stabilizes the insert and locks it in place as your weight transfers while sprinting, climbing, and cornering.
PILtec Plug-In:
A lightweight, ultrabreathable textile band across the leg opening. The microdot silicone treatment is invisible from the outside but stabilizes fit and maintains grip while wet.
zeroPressure Waist:
A soft, highly elastic waist construction that improves comfort and hold at the waist, minus any pressure or pinching.
GTS S11 Insert
Shock-Absorb Damping System Twin:
A dual-layer, 13mm construction of fast-drying, high-density foam materials in an endurance cycling platform. One layer absorbs shocks, the other damps micro-vibrations.
GTS S11 Insert
3D Waffle:
A patented, three-layer, perforated foam that increases breathability and eliminates excess weight
GTS S11 Insert
kraterCooler:
Perforations in the inserts' leading edge draw intercooling air to maintain breathability and a dry, cool microclimate.
GTS S11 Insert
whirlKrater:
Perforations strategically distributed throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow instead of just a unidirectional breeze.
GTS S11 Insert
goldenGate 2.0:
The insert is attached at front and rear with floating sides and center, letting it move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.
kukuPenthouse:
An ultrasoft panel in front of the insert that allows direct aircooling and eliminates pressure, allowing a more aggressive fit across the entire garment.
