SHIMANO ADVANCED GLOVES | Lightweight Racing Gloves for Direct Control
These padless gloves offer a bare-hand feel, allowing for more sensitive handlebar control.
The SHIMANO ADVANCED GLOVES are lightweight, short-cuff gloves designed for riders who prioritize direct feedback the moment they grasp the handlebars.
Their main feature is a padless design that eliminates unnecessary cushioning material. This allows riders to delicately feel road conditions and bike movements transmitted through the handlebars, enhancing the sense of unity with the cockpit.
The palm uses Kuraray Clarino™ synthetic suede. Despite its thinness, it offers high grip and durability, ensuring stable control during races and high-speed cruising.
Furthermore, the material composition, which boasts excellent breathability and elasticity, maintains comfortable wear even during long rides. The thin and flexible cuff design also allows for smooth on and off.
Ergonomic design is adopted for the finger crotch, providing a natural fit. Practical aspects such as a water-absorbent towel fabric for wiping away sweat and a central pull-off tab are also well-integrated.
These gloves are a simple yet sophisticated race-oriented pair, emphasizing lightness, operability, and breathability.
