DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Knox Handroid MK5 in Black/White delivers race-level hand protection that transitions seamlessly from the morning commute to an afternoon trackday — without sacrificing the comfort or practicality that everyday riding demands. Averaging just 0.4 kg, it is one of the lightest full-protection racing gloves available, so your hands stay fresh lap after lap or mile after mile.
Key Features
- Exoskeleton finger protectors provide effective impact and abrasion resistance across all fingers
- Knox Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) guards the vulnerable outer edge of the hand in a fall
- Integrated Micro-Lock system adds a further layer of shock absorption at the palm
- LDPE wrist cuff reinforces wrist stability without adding bulk
- BOA dial closure system allows micro-precise fit adjustment — even with sweaty gloves on
- Touchscreen-compatible fingertips mean you can use your phone or sat-nav without removing the gloves
- CE-certified to EN 13594 for verified protective performance
Materials Built for Feel and Longevity
Knox specifies 0.8 mm kangaroo leather on the inner palm — one of the most tensile natural leathers available — delivering exceptional throttle and brake feel with minimal material between your hand and the bar. The outer shell uses durable cowhide leather, chosen for its abrasion resistance, while the modern hexagon-pattern detailing stitched into the leather adds structural rigidity without adding weight. The result is a glove that stays light, breathable and responsive across long stints.
Precision Fit via BOA Closure
The BOA dial closure is the standout everyday convenience feature of the Handroid MK5. A single turn of the dial tightens or releases the glove in micro-increments, delivering a secure, even fit free from pressure points. An additional wrist strap locks the cuff firmly in place. Getting the gloves on and off — even mid-session with damp hands — takes only seconds, which makes the MK5 as practical at a trackday morning briefing as it is on a Sunday morning ride.
Comfort and Ventilation
- Slim, streamlined construction improves finger dexterity and reduces fatigue on long journeys
- High ventilation for a comfortable internal climate in warm conditions
- Extended gauntlet cuff increases wrist and lower-arm coverage
- Touchscreen-compatible fingertips for everyday device use
Care Instructions
- Do not wash
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
- Air dry in the shade
- Do not iron
- Do not dry clean
Fitment and Compatibility
Designed for male riders seeking a sport-fit glove suitable for track and road use. Available in men's sizes XS through to 3XL. The sport-close fit is intentional — size up if you prefer a more relaxed feel over long rides.
