The Knox Handroid Pod MK IV motorcycle glove is the new short cuff version of the award winning Handroid. It is a bold step forward in modern design & innovation. Set to become the new “go to” style for every rider preferring an easy to where shorter style. The award winning Handroid set the standard for motorcycle sports gloves a decade ago, due to the unique design & look, including the famous exo skeleton finger spines for impact & abrasion resistance. The challenge for Knox has always been to continuously improve, innovate & develop the right products & with the Handroid MK IV Motorcycle glove, to make the design exciting & accessible to urban & sports riders alike. The result is a new sleek & modern aesthetic, available in more colours than ever before. The striking exoskeleton spines now have a much lower profile, a softer feel & are more aero dynamic than before, yet just as effective. All high points have been replaced by smooth slick mouldings made in strong but soft TPU. The metacarpal protector covering the back of the hand houses a gel lining for impact absorption. The Handroid still uses only the very highest quality materials. Lightweight 0.8mm drum dyed leather from Korea chosen for its light weight, strength & supple feel. Sustainable 0.8mm Kangaroo hide has been selected for its superior strength & enhanced feel on the palm & fingers. By weight, it is still stronger than any other leather. This continues to be sourced from the same Australian family business that have been experts in their field since 1891. The new SPS Impact is the latest development of the Knox patented Scaphoid protection system & has the added benefit of MICRO-LOCK impact protection incorporated into the slider. The continued collaboration with Boa, to improve the wrist closure system has resulted in a huge step forward. The MK IV no longer relies on a secondary retaining wrist strap, but instead is a simple one step dial in system that is much more secure. Fit & comfort have been significantly enhanced with a box construction of the fingers, making this the most comfortable Handroid ever. Meticulous attention is given to the construction. Knox use the same manufacturer who have been crafting the Handroid glove for the last decade. This factory are experts in their field & have a tradition of producing only the highest quality race gloves. A 15 test approval process gives external verification & covers materials, fit, cut, abrasion resistance, seam & tear strength & impact absorption. EN 13594- 2015 approved. The Handroid MK IV – marks a decade of Knox Hand Armour & the creation of a new class of Handroid, designed to set a new standard in gloves for all riders.
