About this item

• Recommended Use: cyclocross, gravel, road cycling

Hoods lead a life full of danger. Concrete, asphalt, even our hands (or gloves, depending on your preference) provide constant abuse to the poor little silicone stalwarts. Wear isn't necessarily an enemy, though—after all, well broken-in hoods can be a comfort after a season or two of use; however, when the wear comes from an untimely crash, it certainly is. Shimano's STI Lever Hoods let you erase the seasons of damage done to your hoods, ensuring grip and comfort for another few seasons to come.
