Bike Stop's View:
The SP-1 V2 leads the line of long cuff sport riding gloves for the road from Alpinestars. What it does best is take the essentials of control, protection, and comfort packed into a well priced package. What we really like is that in V2 form Alpinestars new more substantial knuckle guard, extensive padding, landing zone protection, and the trusted third to fourth finger bridge bring something robust enough to take out as a starter on the track whilst still having the all round comfort for everyday road use.
