Assos CS.speedfire Chronosuit S7 review

Assos CS.speedfire Chronosuit S7 is the Swiss brand's time trial skinsuit

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Assos CS.speedfire Chronosuit S7 is a very high-quality item. Our testing suggested there are faster skin suits available, but the Assos is the most comfortable. Something to factor in if you're going to be competing in longer events such as time trials over 50 miles. Although expensive, if looked at from a cost per watt saving, the Assos suit makes far more economical sense than a £5,000 top-end TT frame.
