Product Information

Full details

The Knox Handroid MK V motorcycle gloves are designed for performance-oriented riders who demand high-level impact protection for both street and track environments. These gloves offer a unique blend of safety, featuring signature exo-skeleton finger spines and patented scaphoid protection, providing the rider with peace of mind during aggressive maneuvers. While they offer superior abrasion resistance and a precise fit through an advanced closure system, new users may initially find the structural design more rigid compared to standard leather riding gloves.

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, these gloves are constructed from high-quality leather and are designed for breathability and impact protection; they are not waterproof.

Can I operate a touchscreen with these gloves?

The Handroid MK V focus is on track-level protection; they are not equipped with dedicated capacitive touch-sensitive fingertips.

What is the benefit of the exo-skeleton spines?

The spines provide a rigid outer shell that absorbs and distributes impact energy, protecting your fingers without restricting their natural range of motion.

How do I maintain the BOA system?

Keep the mechanism free of grit and dirt. If the lace becomes frayed or damaged, contact authorized service centers for a replacement kit.

Can these be used for daily commuting?

Yes, they provide excellent protection for commuting, though their aggressive safety features make them most effective for spirited and high-speed riding.

What does the Scaphoid Protection System do?

The SPS acts as a bridge between your palm and the ground, forcing the hand to slide forward during a fall to prevent the scaphoid bone from snapping due to sudden impact or 'grabbing' the road.

Troubleshooting

BOA dial feels stiff or gritty.

Clean the dial housing with a soft brush and use compressed air to remove trapped dirt or debris.

Gloves feel too tight across the knuckles.

Ensure the BOA wrist dial is fully released before pulling the glove on, and allow for a 5-10 hour 'break-in' period for the leather to soften to your hand shape.

Loss of tactile feel while operating controls.

Ensure the internal liner is properly seated and the gloves are not too large, which can cause internal slipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading impact protection through exo-skeleton spines
  • Precision fit provided by the integrated BOA dial system
  • Patented SPS palm sliders offer critical scaphoid injury prevention
  • Durable construction suitable for high-speed track use
  • Sophisticated geometric aesthetic

Cons

  • May require a break-in period due to protective structure
  • Heavier than traditional non-armored leather gloves
  • BOA system requires consistent maintenance to remain debris-free

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your Handroid MK V gloves, verify the size by measuring your palm circumference to match the brand sizing chart. When putting the gloves on, fully unwind the BOA dial before inserting your hand, then tighten until the glove feels secure but does not restrict circulation.

Compatibility note: These gloves feature a mid-length cuff design intended to fit under or over most leather race suits and textile touring jackets.

Care instructions: Keep the leather clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth after rides. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. To keep the BOA closure system functioning smoothly, occasionally blow out any dust or grit from the dial mechanism using compressed air.
