Palm grip matters more than you'd think on long rides. The RS Endurance Gloves S11 from Assos use a microfiber palm with silicone printing that maintains bar contact when your hands get sweaty or when you're drilling it on rough descents. The padding placement targets the ulnar and median nerve pressure points without adding bulk where you don't need it.

The back panel uses a lightweight mesh that breathes well in warm conditions while the hook-and-loop closure keeps everything secure without pressure points at the wrist. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips mean you can operate your cycling computer or phone without removing gloves mid-ride. Small reflective details add visibility for early morning or evening rides.

These sit in Assos's endurance category, which means the fit prioritizes comfort over a race-tight feel. If you're spending four-plus hours in the saddle and want gloves that won't create hot spots or numbness, the padding density and placement here reflects that intention.
