KNOX Handroid Mark 4 Red (Discontinued Model)

Racing hand armor that combines KNOX technology in gloves

Handroid is a racing hand armor that brings together the technology of KNOX, which has been working on protection since 1981, into gloves.

The Handroid's greatest feature is the exoskeleton system on each finger. The skeletal-like pipe-like parts allow for smooth clutch and brake operation, and in the event of a fall, absorbs impact to reduce damage to fingers and knuckles. The palm side of the hand is equipped with an SPS system, which acts as a slider between the hand and the road surface in the event of a fall, reducing pressure on not only the hand but also the arms and shoulders, preventing compression fractures. While this feature is also found in other KNOX gloves, the Handroid's SPS is made even more durable and effective by incorporating MICRO-LOCK.

In actual racing situations, outstanding protection isn't enough; ease of use is also important. The exoskeleton system also improves operability, but the use of the BOA system for wrist tightening also contributes to ease of use by achieving the most comfortable tightening for the user. It tightens evenly around the entire wrist, and when you want to remove it, you can quickly loosen it by pulling the dial, making it very practical.

Racing specs are naturally effective on the circuit, but these items that protect riders are also useful on public roads. These gloves have a design that sets them apart from other gloves in terms of style. Enjoy sports riding with the highest specs on your hands.

Recommended for:

• Those who drive on circuits or winding roads, or who want to drive in the future
• Those looking for gloves that are easy to use on sports bikes
• Those who want the highest level of protection from their gloves

Not suitable for the following people:

• Those looking for gloves with excellent cold weather protection
• Those who want short gloves that reach the wrist (in that case, we recommend the Handroid POD )

Product details

New SPS (Scaphoid Protection System)

This system is realized by two protectors in the palm area. In the event of a fall, the SPS acts as a "slider" to maintain the rider's speed even if the palm of the hand comes into contact with the ground. This relieves pressure on the shoulders and arms, protecting the rider from injuries such as compression fractures (International Patent Technology: EP1594378). Compared to previous models, the SPS incorporates MICRO-LOCK, which provides better shock absorption. MICRO-LOCK is a shock-absorbing material developed exclusively by Knox that is soft under normal conditions but hardens (LOCKs) upon impact.

BOA System

The wrist straps are tightened using the dial-type wire system "BOA." By simply pressing and turning the dial, you can make precise adjustments and the straps are tightened evenly. When you want to put on or take off the straps, you can easily release them by pulling the BOA dial.

Exoskeleton

An exoskeleton is a tubular part arranged like a skeleton on each finger.
The greatest feature of the Handroid Gloves is their protection system. The exoskeleton literally translates to "external skeleton." The parts attached to each finger absorb impact in the event of an accident, mitigating damage to the fist and fingers and reducing friction with the road surface. These pipe-like parts move flexibly and do not interfere with finger movement, achieving both operability and protection.

Kangaroo Palm

Kangaroo leather is used for the grip area of ​​the palm, which is resistant to cuts.

Amara Grip

The Amara grip pad with silicone print improves maneuverability.

Gauntlets

The gauntlets on the cuffs are designed to protect against impact and abrasion.
