Dainese 4 Stroke 2 An Evolutionary Upgrade

The Dainese Four-Stroke 2 gloves replace the previous Four-Stroke model, which was hugely popular among riders. So, this newest iteration had big shoes to fill!

At first glance, the changes from the earlier Four-Stroke glove appear subtle. But Dainese added some clever touches that make these premium gloves even more comfortable and protective:

  • Enhanced Knuckle Accordion: An elastic accordion panel stretches across the knuckles, increasing flexibility when gripping the bars.
  • Extended Wrist Pull Tab: A grippy pull tab makes it easier to tug the gloves on in a hurry.
  • Beefed Up Wrist Enclosure: chunky Velcro and extra overlap at the wrist provide a super secure closure.

While the upgrades seem minor, they add up to a supremely comfortable glove perfect for everyday riding.
