Spidi STR-6 Sport Motorcycle Leather Gloves | Men's | Black/White | A221011

Crafted from 0.6–0.8 mm goatskin and reinforced with carbon-fibre knuckle protection, the Spidi STR-6 gloves are built to a standard that genuinely justifies the word premium. Every material choice — from the high-resistance Velour microfibre panels to the variable-density polyurethane impact shield — reflects a deliberate engineering brief: race-derived protection in a glove light enough to wear all day on the road.

Key Features

• 0.6–0.8 mm goatskin outer shell delivers exceptional abrasion resistance without sacrificing the tactile feedback a sports rider demands at the throttle and levers
• Carbon-fibre knuckle inserts paired with a dual-density polyurethane impact shield absorb and disperse impact energy across the most vulnerable part of the hand
• High-resistance Velour microfibre reinforces the highest-wear zones, adding longevity where the leather alone would face the most stress
• Accordion stretch inserts between the fingers allow a full, unrestricted range of motion without compromising the glove's structural integrity
• Double Velcro wrist closure with adjustable strap creates a secure, personalised fit that stays put through aggressive riding
• CE-certified to PPE EN 13594:2015 Level 1 and compliant with EU Regulation 2016/454 — independently verified protection you can ride with confidence

Construction and Materials

The STR-6 is the product of Spidi's long-standing involvement in motorsport, translated into a glove that is equally at home on a weekend canyon run or a fast B-road blast. The goatskin shell is sourced at a precise 0.6–0.8 mm thickness — thick enough to resist road surfaces in a slide, thin enough to let you feel every input through the handlebar. Reinforced leather zones are layered over the palm's outer edge and the back of the hand, creating a graduated shield without adding unwanted bulk.

The Velour microfibre panels are placed surgically in the areas where repeated contact with controls and tank causes the fastest wear. Combined with the accordion stretch inserts at the finger joints, the glove moves with the hand rather than fighting it, reducing fatigue on longer sporting runs.

Protection Architecture

Protection in the STR-6 is structured across multiple layers. The carbon-fibre knuckle guard provides a hard outer shell, while the variable-density polyurethane shield beneath it compresses progressively to absorb impact energy rather than transmitting it directly to bone and joint. Palm padding on the inner hand and reinforced cushioning across the back of the hand add secondary protection at the points statistics show are most commonly injured in a fall. Multi-layer leather reinforcements at the principal impact zones complete a system that earned the glove its EN 13594:2015 Level 1 certification.

Ergonomics and Fit

The STR-6 is cut specifically for a forward, sporty riding position. The pre-curved construction reduces hand fatigue by putting the glove in the natural grip position before you even reach for the bars. At an average weight of only 0.2 kg per pair, there is no sense of wearing protective equipment — just a glove that stays where you put it. The double Velcro closure system allows fine adjustment at the wrist, preventing any movement or bunching under a jacket cuff during hard acceleration or braking.

Sport Road Use

The black and white colourway is a timeless choice in motorcycle sport — equally suited to a full leather race suit, a textile sport jacket, or a naked-bike setup. The STR-6 is sized for men across a full six-size range, from S through to XXXL, ensuring the precise fit that makes the difference between a glove that protects and one that merely covers.
