  "account": "Assos has introduced a new line of race-focused aero clothing, with the RSR Bolide S11 jersey as its centerpiece. This jersey is designed to be worn on warm, racing days, and is favored by EF Education-EasyPost WorldTour teams. The fabric is tight-fitting, pulling across the shoulders and chest, giving the rider an aggressive cycling position. The Eagle-01 textile provides an aerodynamic base, while the Hawk-01 diamond-patterned fabric boosts breathability and fit. The jersey uses an open mesh structure on the back to aid heat dissipation, and features taped seams to prevent any impact on airflow. The pockets are standard, with no external seams and a fold-over top to avoid items sticking out. The jersey comes in a single colour, white, which helps to reflect heat. Assos claims that this jersey is designed for racing and high-speed riding, and it certainly fits the bill. The AEPD fit reduces material bunching at the front, and the jersey pulls in when you're on the bike. However, it's worth noting that this jersey is quite tight-fitting, and may not be comfortable for riders with a more relaxed style. The price point is also quite high, at over £300, which makes it one of the most expensive cycling jerseys tested to date. When compared to other highly effective aero-focused jerseys, such as the Rapha Pro Team Aero or the Castelli Aero Race 8S, the Bolide S11 is considerably more expensive. Despite its performance benefits, the Bolide S11 may not offer good value for money, especially considering there are other options available at a lower price.",
