Assos RSR Speed Gloves

While they are optimized for racing, criteriums, and time trials, they are perfectly fine for training if you prefer a minimalist, high-tactile feel. Keep in mind they lack padding, so they may not offer the vibration dampening needed for very long, rough-road endurance rides.

These gloves feature a 'second-skin' fit, meaning they are designed to be extremely snug and compressive. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure you can get them on and off easily without overstretching the fabric.

The padding-free design is intentional to provide maximum bar feel and control, which is critical when you are in an aggressive racing position. By removing bulk, Assos improves tactile feedback and reduces the material that can bunch up while gripping aero bars or drops.

Absolutely. The textile used is specifically chosen for its cooling and breathable properties, making them well-suited for high-intensity efforts in warm weather where airflow is essential.
