DescriptionThe whole story▼
CE EN 13594-certified and built around Knox's most advanced protection architecture, the Handroid MK5 in high-visibility yellow sets the standard for track-day safety without surrendering a single gram of feel or control. This is race-grade hand protection engineered for riders who refuse to compromise.
Key Features
- CE EN 13594 certified — independently verified protection for track and road use
- Exoskeleton finger armour delivers effective impact and abrasion resistance across every digit
- Knox SPS (Scaphoid Protection System) actively reduces the risk of wrist fracture in a fall
- Integrated Micro-Lock system absorbs additional shock energy at the point of impact
- LDPE wrist cuff provides structural stability and extended wrist coverage
- BOA dial-fit closure system allows millimetre-precise adjustment on the fly
- High-visibility yellow finish increases rider conspicuity on both road and circuit
Protection Technology
The Handroid MK5 occupies the very top of Knox's protection hierarchy, and the yellow variant adds conspicuity to that equation. The exoskeleton finger armour wraps each finger in a rigid protective shell that resists both direct impact and sliding abrasion — two of the most common causes of hand injury in motorcycle accidents. Beneath that, the Knox SPS (Scaphoid Protection System) addresses one of the most frequently fractured bones in a crash: the scaphoid. By guiding load away from the wrist on impact, the SPS meaningfully reduces the likelihood of this debilitating injury. The integrated Micro-Lock system works in concert with the SPS, absorbing residual shock that passes through the palm. Underpinning everything is an LDPE wrist cuff that locks the cuff position and resists lateral movement under load. The result is a glove that carries CE EN 13594 certification — not as a marketing footnote, but as the natural outcome of a rigorously engineered protection stack.
Premium Materials for Maximum Feel
Protection architecture only delivers its potential when the glove fits perfectly and transmits handlebar feedback without interference. Knox addresses this with a dual-leather construction: 0.8 mm kangaroo leather on the palm provides an unmatched combination of thinness, tensile strength, and tactile sensitivity, while robust cowhide leather on the outer shell adds durability and abrasion resistance where it is needed most. The overall construction is deliberately lightweight, and the modern hexagon-pattern panelling keeps the glove slim and streamlined so there is nothing between your hands and the bars.
BOA Closure System — Precision Fit
The BOA dial-fit closure is one of the Handroid MK5's most distinctive features. A single rotation of the dial tightens the closure wire system uniformly across the cuff, eliminating the pressure points that buckle-and-strap systems inevitably create. The fit is repeatable, adjustable with a gloved hand, and releases instantly with a single pull. An additional wrist retention strap provides a secondary anchor point for riders who want belt-and-braces security at speed.
Comfort and Practicality
- Touchscreen-compatible fingertips for GPS and phone use without removing the glove
- Slim, close-fit construction improves dexterity and reduces hand fatigue
- Perforated panels promote airflow on warm track days and spirited road sessions
- Extended cuff length provides additional forearm coverage beyond the sleeve line
Fitment and Compatibility
The Knox Handroid MK5 is designed for men's sizing and is available in XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL. The fit is intentionally close and sport-oriented for maximum handlebar control. Intended use: track days, circuit racing, and performance road riding.
