With the hands leading the way as you power through the air, it's an area ripe for making some aerodynamic gains. The RSR Speed Gloves have been created to complement the rest of the WorldTour proven EQUIPE RSR racing equipment and get you as many aero gains as possible. Those aero-gains begin with the use of the Windchannel Stripes material. This Lycra® blend warp knit gives an incredibly snug and smooth fit of the hands with little to no creasing. It's carefully deployed to reduce drag, particularly effective when you're on your aero-bar extensions during a time trial. Assos also give the gloves longer fingers and cuffs, further consolidating the aerodynamic second-skin fit. The bi-stretch property of Windchannel Stripe also offers light compression for greater comfort during high exertion efforts. The unpadded, high-grip palm offers a secure and natural feel on the bars while reducing weight. Lastly, raw-cut edges provide smooth transitions between glove and skin, enhancing streamlining and adding comfort.
