Castelli Rosso Corsa Pro – Competition gloves designed for speed and protection

Professional-level aerodynamics. Dyneema-reinforced palm. Comfort and precision with every pedal stroke.

Discover the Castelli Rosso Corsa Pro Glove, premium short cycling gloves developed for competitors and demanding cyclists.

Designed to optimize aerodynamics without compromising hand protection, they combine the Aero Race 8S Jersey fabric, used on the sleeves of Castelli competition jerseys, with a Dyneema-reinforced palm, which is particularly abrasion-resistant.

The Castelli Damping System (CDS) and targeted padding at the base of the palm provide additional comfort when riding with your hands on the brake hoods.

With their Race fit and extended cuff, the Rosso Corsa Pro are designed for fast races, gran fondos, and long training rides.

Key features of the Castelli Rosso Corsa Pro

• Aero Race 8S Jersey fabric: aerodynamic construction on the back of the hand.

• Dyneema-reinforced palm: increased abrasion resistance in the event of a fall.

• Castelli Damping System (CDS): helps reduce pressure on the median nerve.

• Targeted padding: additional comfort when the hands rest on the brake hoods.

• Extended cuff: better integration with competition clothing.

• Race fit: precise, close-fitting fit.

• Short gloves: finger freedom and direct control of the controls.

• Recommended temperatures of 10 to 35 °C: suitable for riding in mild or warm weather.

• Rosso Corsa range: premium performance-oriented design.

Aero Race 8S: aerodynamics right down to your hands

The back of the Rosso Corsa Pro gloves uses the same aerodynamic fabric as the sleeves of the Castelli Aero Race 8S Jersey.

This stretchy material contours to the hand to reduce excess fabric and unwanted movement at high speeds.

It maintains a precise fit while accommodating changes in position on the handlebars.

For cyclists looking to optimize every detail of their equipment, gloves become a fully integrated part of their competition kit.

Dyneema palm: enhanced resistance

Castelli incorporates Dyneema into the palm of the Rosso Corsa Pro.

This high-performance fiber is renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Castelli claims it is up to fifteen times stronger than steel at a comparable weight.

Its use in the palm is intended to improve the glove's abrasion resistance in the event of a slide.

This enhanced protection is particularly beneficial for competitions and fast rides.

However, it does not guarantee protection from injury in the event of a fall.

Castelli Damping System: less pressure on the hands

The Rosso Corsa Pro features the Castelli Damping System (CDS).

This damping system is based on a carefully considered distribution of materials and padding zones in the palm.

Its goal is to limit pressure on the median nerve and reduce vibrations felt in the hands.

This is a noticeable advantage on long rides, when prolonged support on the handlebars can cause discomfort or numbness.

Targeted padding for riding on the brake hoods

Unlike very thick gloves, the Rosso Corsa Pro features targeted padding at the base of the palm.

This area is particularly stressed when the cyclist rests their hands on the brake hoods.

Castelli thus aims to balance damping, handlebar control, and precision.

A design suitable for both races and long training rides.

Extended cuff: a finish designed for competition

The Rosso Corsa Pro features a cuff that extends slightly up the wrist.

This design allows for a smoother transition between the glove and the jersey sleeve, especially with Castelli's aerodynamic clothing.

It also helps keep the glove securely in position during exercise.

The result is a sleek finish suited to modern competition kits.

A precise, close-fitting Race fit

The Castelli Rosso Corsa Pro features a Race fit.

They are designed to fit the hand precisely, without excess material.

This fit promotes a secure grip on the handlebars and natural access to the brake and gear levers.

To make the most of this fit, it is important to choose the size that matches your hand circumference.

Perfect gloves for spring and summer

Castelli recommends the Rosso Corsa Pro for temperatures between 10 and 35 °C.

They are particularly suitable for road races, gran fondos, fast training rides, long rides, and cycling camps in mild or warm weather.

Their construction prioritizes performance and palm protection rather than thermal insulation or waterproofing.

Rosso Corsa Pro or Rosso Corsa Pro V: what's the difference?

The Rosso Corsa Pro prioritizes aerodynamics with Aero Race 8S fabric, an extended cuff, and a Dyneema-reinforced palm.

The Rosso Corsa Pro V is another version, featuring a Velcro closure, gel padding, and a mesh back.

The Rosso Corsa Pro is therefore particularly suited to cyclists looking for an aerodynamic competition design, while the Pro V offers practical adjustment and more generous padding.
