The S11 generation of RSR Speed Gloves represents the culmination of extensive wind tunnel testing, rider feedback, and real-world WorldTour performance. Specifically engineered for criteriums, time trials, and high-speed racing scenarios, these gloves are designed with one purpose: reduce aerodynamic drag while offering seamless comfort and durability. The glove’s minimalist design includes raw-cut edges and a padding-free palm that eliminates bulk, allowing for direct bar feel and maximum control when sprinting or maneuvering through tight corners.
At the heart of the construction is the 550CX warp-knit textile—a new generation of aerodynamic fabric that molds precisely to the contours of your hands. As one of the body’s leading edges during racing, your hands are critical to reducing drag, and the 550CX material delivers with inherent aerodynamic properties that smooth airflow across the glove’s surface. The fabric also maintains breathability and cooling, keeping your hands dry and ventilated even during intense efforts in summer conditions.
The glove panels are precisely oriented to optimize aerodynamics when you're in the drops or stretched out on aero bars. This not only boosts performance in time trials but also adds efficiency in road races and sprints. The updated construction improves durability, especially in time trial cockpit setups where contact with hook-and-loop strap closures is common. By using a more resilient textile and eliminating excess seams, the S11 Speed Gloves are built to last while remaining ultralight and race-ready.
Fit is governed by Assos' aerodynamic racingFit philosophy. There are no fasteners, zippers, or silicone grippers—just the natural cling of the high-stretch material, which holds the gloves securely in place without compromising comfort. This clean design ensures uninterrupted airflow and an ultralight, barely-there feel. The S11 RSR Speed Gloves are for riders who demand pro-level details and performance gains at every contact point with their bike. Whether it’s slicing through the wind or gripping the bars with precision, these gloves offer the edge needed at the highest levels of the sport.
