FAQs
What is the primary function of the exo-skeleton?
The exo-skeleton spines provide essential abrasion resistance and energy absorption for your fingers in the event of an impact.
Can I use these gloves with a touchscreen?
While the focus is on protection and grip, standard operation of touchscreen devices may be limited depending on the interface; the focus of these gloves remains motorcycle control.
What is the Scaphoid Protection System?
The SPS is a patented Knox feature that includes sliders on the palm to help the hand slide on the road rather than gripping, which prevents hyperextension and scaphoid injury.
How do I maintain the BOA closure system?
Keep the dial free of grit and ensure the lace is seated correctly in the spool. Do not force the dial if it feels obstructed.
Are these suitable for winter riding?
These gloves are primarily performance-oriented and do not feature thermal insulation, so they are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn riding.
How should I store these gloves?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and material degradation.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial feels stiff or sticks
Check for debris or dirt around the dial mechanism and clean gently with a soft brush.
Gloves feel overly stiff during first use
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner and wear them for short durations to allow the leather to soften and conform to your hands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the BOA dial by pressing it down and rotating clockwise until the cuff feels snug but not restrictive. For care, keep the drum-dyed leather clean by wiping away road debris with a damp, soft cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and the structural integrity of the protective spines. If the gloves become saturated with rain, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking.
