Now anyone can buy the Assos kit worth €7,000 designed for the Paris Olympics

The Fenoq time trial suit developed by Assos, supplier of the Tudor team and Swiss Cycling, takes the pursuit of performance and wind resistance to the pinnacle with a garment that is fully customized for each cyclist and will be tested in the track and time trial competitions of the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, whose cycling events will take place between July 27 and August 11.

Assos launches the exclusive time trial suit that Swiss cyclists will use in Paris 2024

Speed has a price and the one provided by the new Assos Fenoq time trial suit amounts to no less than 7,000 €, a garment that concentrates all the technology of the Swiss brand in order to achieve the best possible wind penetration.

For the manufacture of this Assos Fenoq suit, wind tunnel tests, body maps and the use of latest generation fabrics have been carried out in order to scrape every gram of resistance. A fabric that has a grid pattern, called Twin Deck that optimizes aerodynamics.

However, the big difference is that this Assos Fenoq is specifically made for each cyclist, totally custom, adjusting it to their exact position on the bike, a meticulous work for the construction of each garment that justifies the 7,000 € that each one costs and which also include a pair of aerodynamic shoe covers in which similar fabrics to those used in the suit are used.

Although this Assos Fenoq is now coming to light, it is very likely that it already forms part of the equipment of the Tudor team cyclists, whom the brand sponsors. The best Swiss time trialist of today, Swiss Stefan Küng, would have also used one of the prototypes of this Assos Fenoq in the last world championships in Glasgow.

Obviously, Assos does not expect to sell many units of this Fenoq, however, UCI regulations require that any equipment used in track tests be available to anyone so its release for sale is an indispensable condition for Swiss Cycling cyclists to take advantage of the benefits of this new aerodynamic suit in the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.
