Assos Tactica Kieskäfer Gravel Bib Shorts T5 2025

Off-road bib shorts blending performance and durability for competition and touring alike refined with integrated storage a more compressive textile and a simplified weight-saving construction. Gravel and singletrack performance upgraded – the TACTICA KIESKÄFER T5 replaces the GTC KIESPANZER C2 with a lighter more breathable and more compressive construction. The key upgrades are the Type.911 textile and the stabilizing rollBar which are adapted from the Racing Series bringing high-intensity road performance to off-road riding. The thigh pockets are also larger granting expanded storage for easy access to ride essentials and fuel. For the T5 generation we also updated the insert with more shock-absorbing foam muting chatter and smoothing repeated impacts on gravel and trails.
