The ASSOS Mille GT C2 Bib Shorts are endurance-oriented performance bib shorts designed for committed riders who want a balance of comfort, support, durability, and everyday versatility.
Compared to the higher-end GTO series, the Mille GT C2 focuses on delivering premium comfort and performance at a more accessible level for daily training and long rides.
