Product Information
Full details
The Knox Handroid MK V motorcycle gloves are designed for sport and street riders who prioritize advanced impact protection and tactile feedback without sacrificing comfort. Featuring the iconic exo-skeleton spines and patented Scaphoid Protection System, these gloves offer elite-level security for both track and road environments. While they provide exceptional safety features, the high-tech, rigid structure may require a brief break-in period for riders accustomed to soft, unarmored gloves.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for track days?
Yes, the Handroid MK V is designed specifically for both high-intensity track use and street riding.
How do I tighten the BOA closure?
Push the dial in to engage the mechanism, then rotate clockwise to tighten. Pull the dial out to release the tension.
What is the benefit of Kangaroo leather?
Kangaroo leather is thinner than cowhide while being significantly more abrasion-resistant, offering superior tactile feedback.
Do these gloves have touchscreen compatibility?
The primary design focus is on protection and feedback, so functionality may vary depending on device sensitivity.
Can I wash these gloves?
Do not submerge or machine wash. Clean by wiping the surface with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner.
How does the Scaphoid Protection System work?
It uses sliders on the palm to prevent the hand from stopping abruptly upon contact with the road, preventing the scaphoid bone from being compressed.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial feels stiff or jammed
Check for debris or dirt around the dial; rotate the dial back and forth several times to clear the mechanism.
Glove feels too stiff initially
Wear the gloves for short periods while off the bike to allow the leather to conform to your hand shape.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the glove on and rotate the BOA dial until the wrist is snug but comfortable; do not over-tighten, as this can restrict blood flow. These gloves are compatible with most modern motorcycle jackets, though the protective cuff works best when tucked under or worn over cuffs that are not overly bulky. For care, wipe the leather with a damp, lint-free cloth after riding to remove road grime. Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple, and avoid soaking the gloves in water. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
