While some of our clients may say, "It's about time!" Cadence has decided to add what is arguably the premier cycling apparel brand to our already unparalleled selection of high-end cycling gear. Assos of Switzerland is largely regarded as the very first name in high-end and innovative cycling apparel. Manufactured exclusively in Assos' textiles plant and research facility in Lugano, Switzerland, Assos is a name virtually synonymous with cycling innovation. In fact, back in the 1970s Assos was the first brand to introduce Lycra to the cycling world. So, in a sense, Assos is the trend setter for cycling apparel.
While many apparel brands are content to offer two options for seasonal riding, namely Winter and Summer, Assos offers eight through their Assos Layering System, or ALS. This system includes the following components:
Spring, for temperatures between 57 and 68 degrees
Summer, for temperatures between 75 and 90 degrees
Hot Summer, for temperatures between 84 and 102 degrees
Early Fall, for temperatures between 53 and 64 degrees
Fall, for temperatures between 46 and 61 degrees
Early Winter, for temperatures between 43 and 54 degrees
Winter, for temperatures between 32 and 46 degrees
Winter Plus, for temperatures between 21 and 43 degrees
Assos offers technically advanced apparel systems in which every item is conceptualized and designed to complement one another and function together. These systems allow year-round riding that is relaxed, comfortable, safe, and healthy. With the 8 available climate ranges listed above, Assos' objective of keeping the body's internal micro-climate as stable as possible is achieved while also keeping you warm, cool, and dry under the widest array of conditions. In addition to this, Assos products' longevity and durability is second to none.
Assos Dopo Bici
Cadence Cycling & Multisport Centers is proud to announce the arrival of Assos' hotly anticipated line of apres-bike wear! Cadence is among a handful of elite Assos dealers to secure an advance shipment of this outstanding product and will remain on the front line of receiving DB as it becomes more widely available in the USA.
Assos' new line of apparel is represented by the acronym, DB. DB, or Dopo Bici--literally "after bike"--is the result of 5 years of R&D work at Assos' world-reknowned textiles laboratory in Lugano, Switzerland. The DB line is the first time in the history of the sport of cycling that a pioneering brand like Assos has endeavored to provide cyclists a fashion statement about cycling. Now, cyclists and multisport enthusiats can make a fashion statement about the sports they love in the same manner as skiers, golfers, basketball players, and other athletes.
The DB line is every bit as technically advanced as Assos' traditional riding apparel. Assos, a brand synonymous with and inextricably connected to high-end cycling performance (Assos was the first company to introduce Lycra to the sport!), has always been driven by using technical fabrics to enhance performance and comfort, and to minimize energetic cost by keeping the body cool, warm, and dry depending on the conditions. This same intense thought was brought to the drawing board when DB was first conceived.
The new DB wear from Assos delivers all it's been hyped-up to be: outrageous fashion, style, comfort, and individuality. The DB line of apparel will be equally at ease on the New York club scence, in 5th Avenue luxury shops, or while relaxing on the couch watching your favorite versions of Paris-Roubaix!
Cadence is extremely proud to offer Assos, a brand which-like Cadence-stands for high-quality, longevity, and dedication to the sports of cycling and multisport. Stop in and try Assos apparel for yourself, you may not want to wear anything else!
