Knox Handroid MK5 Racing Leather Gloves | Men's | Black | 11769404100

A glove that fits as good as it performs is rare — the Knox Handroid MK5 in black is one of those rarities. Engineered for riders who demand all-day comfort alongside uncompromising CE EN 13594-certified protection, the MK5 refines everything that made the Handroid an icon of high-performance motorcycling. Whether you are logging lap after lap at a trackday or pushing pace on a demanding road, the glove stays with you — never against you.

Key Features

• BOA dial closure system delivers micro-adjustable, pressure-point-free fit that can be dialled in or released with one hand, even with gloves on
• Exoskeleton finger armour guards against impact and abrasion without adding unwanted bulk or restricting articulation
• Knox Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) shields the ulnar edge of the hand — one of the most vulnerable zones in a fall
• Integrated Micro-Lock system absorbs impact energy across the palm
• 0.8 mm kangaroo leather palm provides exceptional grip and tear resistance in an ultra-thin, direct-feel layer
• Touchscreen-compatible fingertips keep you connected without removing the glove

Fit That Lasts the Full Session

The biggest upgrade riders notice over a long ride or an extended track session is how the MK5 simply disappears on the hand. Knox achieved this through a slimmer, redesigned wrist cuff that eliminates the bunching common under jacket cuffs, combined with a flatter overall construction that improves hand mobility without sacrificing protection. The new LDPE wrist cuff adds structural rigidity exactly where it is needed, while the additional wrist retention strap locks everything in place under hard braking.

The BOA closure system — backed by a lifetime guarantee — distributes tension evenly across the back of the hand, removing the pressure hotspots that traditional velcro closures create. Dial in your fit on the grid and forget about it for the rest of the day.

Construction and Materials

Knox selected materials for the MK5 with a single principle in mind: every layer must earn its place. The 0.8 mm kangaroo leather palm is among the thinnest structurally reliable leathers available, giving the rider a near-direct connection to the bars. Drum-dyed cowhide covers the outer surfaces, adding durability and lending the glove its distinctive hexagonal panel design — a geometry chosen as much for flex performance as for aesthetics. The result is a glove that resists abrasion during sustained contact with the road surface while remaining supple and responsive throughout a full day of riding.
