GLOVE TECHNOLOGY - AUTUMN & WINTER | SHIMANO APPAREL & ACCESSORIES

EXTREMITIES NEED
EXTREME TECHNOLOGY.

The hand is among the most complicated of body parts, with 27 bones and extreme ranges of motion on every plane. Cyclists’ hands are also positioned at the leading edge of the bicycle, where they absorb shock and vibrations, and receive the brunt of wind and chill. Cold hands can compromise shifting and overall comfort, cause debilitating numbness, and a result in a poor riding experience.

SHIMANO takes the rider-to-bike control interface very seriously. And, just like we design our shifting levers starting from the complex ergonomics of the hand, we do exactly the same when designing SHIMANO FUSION CONCEPT gloves.

We have updated our Advanced 3D shape to better conform to the natural curve of the human hand. Less fabric, no bunching — a more secure, form-fitting control levers interface.

DETACHABLE INNER GLOVES

New Polartec ˝Power Stretch˝ for heat retention, superior fit, and high stretch;
with an elegant and luxurious design

SHORT SLIP-ON CUFFS

These thin, convenient gloves feature short cuffs for moderate temperature use;
functional and easy to slip on and off.

CUFF LENGTH VARIATIONS

On select models, extra-long cuffs with Velcro tab closures hold warmth in at low
temperatures.

SILICONE GRIP

Non-slip silicone and stretch gusset ensures confident handling.
The new synthetic leather makes the gloves feel as good as they look.

BETTER GRIP, CONTROL, AND COMFORT
The new 3D Anatomic pre-curved glove patterning provides a stable fit for greater bike control while reducing wrinkles and excess material on the palms.

ANATOMICAL PALM DESIGN
Elegant, embossed-textured synthetic leather palms with stretch gussets provides easy finger motion and bike control.

HIGH MOBILITY WRIST
Bike handling starts with the hands, and maintaining wrist range-of-motion for power and control is critical with the added bulk of insulated gloves. SHIMANO FUSION CONCEPT Anatomic 3D design factors in materials to create a seamless riderto- bike connection, even in cold-weather applications.
