Custom shop jerseys tend to fall into two camps: genuinely good pieces that happen to carry a logo, or promotional items that spend most of their life at the back of the drawer. The Excel Sports RSR Summer SS Jersey lands firmly in the first category because it's built on Assos's RS Superleger platform rather than adapted from a template. This is the same construction that Assos uses for their own race-weight summer jerseys, with Excel Sports branding applied through their custom program.
The RS Superleger designation signals where this jersey sits in the Assos hierarchy—it's their hot-weather racing cut, designed for days when breathability matters more than anything else. The fabric is aggressively lightweight, with mesh paneling that prioritizes airflow over structure. You get the race-fit silhouette that stays clean in an aero tuck without the cling and compression of their skin-suit-adjacent options. For riders who've dialed in their Assos sizing, this follows the same fit logic as the rest of the Superleger line.
Assos constructs the body from their Type.100 fabric, a lightweight knit that balances wicking performance against durability. The shoulder construction uses bonded seams to reduce bulk under pack straps, and the collar sits low enough that it won't creep up on long days in the drops. Three rear pockets hold the standard jersey load without the sagging that plagues flimsier race-weight options.... Read More
The colorways keep the Excel Sports identity recognizable without turning the jersey into a billboard. White Series runs clean with strategic logo placement, while Blackseries offers the same restraint in a more forgiving shade for mid-ride coffee stops. Both versions use sublimated graphics that won't crack or peel through wash cycles.
One practical note for sizing: Assos race-fit jerseys run trim through the torso, and the Superleger cut expects you to be in a fairly aggressive riding position. If you're between sizes or prefer a slightly more relaxed fit for mixed-terrain days, sizing up is worth considering. The fabric has enough stretch to accommodate, but the intended fit is decidedly racy.
