The ASSOS Endurance Gloves S11 are lightweight endurance-focused cycling gloves designed for warm-weather riding, long-distance comfort, and improved bar feel.
They replace the previous GT Gloves C2 with a more breathable and ergonomic design optimized for daily road cycling and endurance use.
Key Features
Ultrabreathable Mesh Palm
The biggest update is the switch from a traditional microfiber palm to:
- Durable mesh construction
- Faster drying performance
- Improved airflow
- Better sweat management
This helps reduce:

The result is a more secure and responsive grip on the handlebars.
Ergonomic Endurance Fit
The gloves are engineered for:
- Natural hand positioning
- Reduced pressure points
- Long-duration comfort
Their regular fit balances:
- Flexibility
- Stability
- Ease of movement
Light Vibration-Damping Padding
Redesigned Padding Profile
The padding is tuned to:

- Absorb micro-vibrations
- Prevent hand fatigue
Unlike heavily padded gloves, the S11 maintains:
- Precise handlebar feedback
- Better control
- More natural steering feel
This makes them especially suitable for endurance road cycling.
Reinforced Contact Zones
The palm includes reinforcement in high-contact areas to:
- Improve durability
- Resist wear from frequent riding
- Maintain grip performance over time
Warm-Weather Performance
These gloves are optimized for temperatures above 21°C and prioritize:
- Ventilation
- Moisture management
