Product Information

Full details

The Madison Freewheel Gel Pad Trail Gloves in Black are designed for adult cyclists seeking enhanced comfort, grip, and control on trails. Their key benefit lies in vibration damping and superior traction, especially in wet conditions, while a potential caveat is the single palm lining which some riders might find less padded than multi-layer alternatives. This glove offers a high-performance, entry-level solution for trail riding.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?

These gloves are designed for trail riding in milder conditions. While they offer some protection, they may not provide sufficient warmth for very cold winter weather.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Madison or measure your hand circumference. The adjustable cuff also allows for some flexibility in fit.

Can I use these gloves with gloves on my phone?

These gloves are not designed with touchscreen compatibility. You will need to remove them to operate a smartphone.

What is the primary benefit of the silicone print?

The silicone print provides enhanced traction on brake levers and grips, offering better control and preventing hand slippage, especially in wet or muddy conditions.

How does the single palm lining affect grip?

The single palm lining enhances the direct feel of the handlebars, allowing for more precise control and a better connection to the bike.

What materials are the gloves made from?

The palm is made of 55% Polyamide and 45% Polyurethane. The back of the hand is 96% Polyamide and 4% Elastane.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on palms or fingers

Clean the silicone print areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure gloves are completely dry before use.

Velcro cuff losing adhesion

Clean the hook and loop parts of the Velcro with a small brush to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the surfaces are dry.

Discomfort from heel padding

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider if the padding placement suits your riding style.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip and control, especially in wet conditions.
  • Effective vibration damping for increased comfort on long rides.
  • Secure and adjustable fit via the Velcro cuff.
  • Provides good handlebar feel for better bike control.

Cons

  • Single palm lining may offer less cushioning than gloves with multiple layers.
  • Entry-level design may not suit extreme conditions or highly experienced riders.
  • Focus on grip might mean slightly less overall warmth in colder weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure a comfortable fit by adjusting the elasticated Velcro cuff to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility: The Freewheel Trail Gloves are compatible with all types of handlebars and brake levers commonly found on mountain bikes. They are suitable for use with any cycling apparel.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Hand wash in cool water with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring. Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
