The Mille GTS Spring Fall Bib Shorts S11 are designed for riders who want confident performance in cool, variable weather conditions without compromising the balanced comfort the Mille series is known for. Built around a two-season concept, these bibs provide the transitional insulation and adaptive breathability needed for early spring, late fall, and unpredictable shoulder-season rides. The S11 evolution introduces refined panel shaping, an updated support structure, and the next generation of the GTS dual-density chamois, all working together to stabilize the body, regulate temperature, and deliver long-distance comfort when conditions are neither warm nor cold.
At the heart of the system is the Mille GTS Insert S11, a dual-density pad engineered for extended endurance efforts. Its upper layer provides micro-shock absorption while maintaining a low, supportive profile that resists deformation over time. Beneath it, a second stabilizing layer improves structural integrity during high-cadence efforts or long periods in the saddle. The insert is integrated using GoldenGate 2.0, allowing natural rotation and fore-aft movement while minimizing friction in key contact zones. This combination enhances freedom of motion on climbs and transitions while maintaining the grounded stability needed for longer rides.
The bibs are constructed from Ossidia S11, a soft yet firm warp-knit textile developed to deliver smooth compression and lightweight thermal regulation. The fabric’s subtle insulating effect manages cool air while releasing excess heat during harder efforts, creating a consistent temperature zone across fluctuating spring and fall conditions. Its breathable, lightly brushed interior increases comfort directly against the skin while accelerating moisture transport, reducing the chill that accompanies cooldowns or shaded sections of a route. The panel configuration reduces vertical stretch and maintains core stability without restricting body movement. ... Read More
A redesigned X-Frame suspension system stabilizes the primary shorts structure and keeps the insert locked into position during accelerations, shifts in cadence, and varied terrain. The straps themselves are flexible and lie flat across the torso, ensuring even distribution of tension with no pulling or twisting. Raw-cut leg hems create a smooth, secure hold that adapts to muscle movement while preventing ride-up, reinforced by low-profile silicone micro-grippers integrated directly into the fabric laminate.
Additional seasonal refinements include reflective detailing for low-light visibility, especially useful during early starts or dusk returns common in shoulder-season training. The fit is slightly more supportive than the standard Mille line, bringing the GTS platform closer to a performance-forward profile while maintaining the signature comfort and stability that define the Mille experience. The result is a bib short engineered for riders who frequently train between temperature extremes and expect consistent performance during windy, variable, or cool-to-warm transitional days.
