Description
The STREET SPORT collection is dedicated to those who combine comfort and esprit sportiness in their daily use of a two-wheeler, both in and out of town. This is perfectly reflected in the RS range. At the top of the range is the new, highly innovative RS1. Like its "cousin" STUNT EVO2, the RS1 incorporates the helmet-inspired technology adopted for the construction of its AirgoProtech™ Sport metacarpophalangeal protective shell. This offers more rounded lines in keeping with theesprit RS "sport/comfort" theme, while emphasizing the model's dynamic (one might even say "aerodynamic") character. The aesthetic approach differs, but the philosophy remains the same: a hard outer shell to resist impact, and a soft inner element to absorb and diffuse impact energy, whose honeycomb structure allows perfect ventilation. The latter is optimized by the adoption of an additional scoop that channels air towards the interior of the gant. Inspired by the brake scoops used in motorcycle racing and Formula 1, it characterizes the RS1 and will appeal to fans of design and aerodynamics. The flexible, ergonomic inner element eliminates the need for comfort foams (which obstruct air intake) under the shells, as found on most gloves on the market. This new shell, composed of 3 superimposed elements, is the fruit of research by our R&D department, and makes its very first exclusive appearance on RS1. It guarantees optimum safety, as it perfectly covers the main joint and the metacarpals. The construction of RS1 cleverly combines the use of perforated full-grain goatskin leather, for the most stressed or exposed areas, and Spandex, a resistant stretch textile, for areas requiring greater flexibility. The aim is to offer the ideal compromise between comfort and protection, as well as a control feel of premier order. The palm, made entirely of ultra goatskin leather, houses a semi-flexible ERGO PROTECH® honeycomb slider shell to protect the hypothenar without hindering handlebar grip. Grooved neoprene on the outside of the wrist, PullN'Ride™ adjustment tab and TPR + Velcro adjustment tab contribute to perfect fit and optimum support of the gant. The RS1 features TouchScreen on the index finger and thumb, for easy use of GPS and smartphone without removing the gant, including zoom or camera functions. Comfort, safety, practicality, ultra-innovative design, the RS1 really does tick all the boxes, but be warned, it's aimed primarily at the most demanding customers. It's up to you to decide if you're one of them...
