The incredible new Knox Hand Armour range is now available at Streetbike...
Featuring a host of patented innovations, including exoskeleton protection, SPS and the exclusive BOA lacing system, Knox Hand Armour looks radically different to existing motorcycle gloves and this British technology has taken glove design to the next level.
Since producing the first back-protector in 1982, Knox has been a leading innovator of impact protection and has continually looked at other areas of the body where they felt they could make a real difference and offer much needed development.
Three years ago Knox turned their attention to hand protection, patenting the SPS (scaphoid protection system), which for the first time gave riders effective protection against common scaphoid injuries to the bone connecting the thumb to the wrist. Realising that glove development in the market was limited and could be improved, Knox spent two years developing new systems for the hand, looking not only at protection but also at rider comfort and fit, which are synonymous with the Knox brand.
Other new Hand armour concepts include honeycomb gel impact protection and wrist guard shrouds. Initially four models of Knox Hand Armour will be available; the full track specification HANDROID, sports-rider orientated BIOMECH, classically-styled RECON and waterproof ZERO.
One of the first buyers of the top of the range Handroid was Streetbikes own marketing man Carl who knows a great piece of technology design when he see's one.
Carl comments "These are without doubt the best pair of gloves I've ever owned and worth every penny. I've always had trouble with gloves digging into my wrists and bunching in my palms in the past and these just don't plus no more numb tingly fingers - real easy to get on and off once you've got the hang of them and, of course, they look incredible"
