Handroid Gloves MK4
£115.00
| Colour: Black / White |
The latest version of the award winning Knox Handroid long cuff glove, is the Mk4. Due to its design these are the most striking motorcycle gloves ever made. The design includes features such as the scaphoid protection system as well as the eye catching exo skeleton finger spines which cover the tops of the fingers for impact protection as well as a unique closing system which always ensures a perfect fit.
Now the latest Handroid takes all of these features and refines them. The finger spines are now softer and of a lower, more aerodynamic profile, yet no less effective when it comes to protection. The body of the glove is made from drum dyed Korean leather. This has been chosen for its feel, light weight and strength. Complementing this is 0.8mm kangaroo hide which is used on the palm. While the strength and feel offered by this hide is exceptional it’s still responsibly and ethically sourced.

While the strength and feel offered by this hide is exceptional it’s still responsibly and ethically sourced.
A new SPS impact system is the most recent development of the Knox patented Scaphoid protection system. This now has Micro-Lock armour incorporated into the design of each slider. Because the BOA® Fit System is so effective the Handroid now no longer needs a second Velcro strap on the wrist. Box construction of the fingers makes for an even more comfortable glove that fits even better than previous models.
The CE testing for the Handroid covers 15 different tests. As a result independent testers have given the gloves a CE EN 13594- 2015 rating. This covers so much including the materials used, the fit, the cut of the glove, its abrasion resistance, the all-important seam and tear strength as well as impact absorption.
Separate tests were conducted for design and construction as well as tests on the materials used. This included checking features as detailed as the pH value of the leather as well as its chromium V1 content. In addition to the sizing dexterity the cadmium content and even the water vapour transmission were also measured. Strength tests included the Handroids’ restraint tear strength, the seam strength, cut resistance, abrasion resistance and, of course the impact resistance and the size of the protective area. The Handroid passes all with flying colours.
The Handroid is available in two sub models, the ‘Long Cuff’ and the short cuff ‘Pod’. The Long cuff is available in four different colours; black, black with white, red or blue. The Pod is available in 2 colours Black and Black/Sand The range of sizes runs from XS all the way to 3XL. The Boa fit system now comes with a lifetime guarantee and the whole glove is CE certified to EN 13594.

Technical Information
BOA® Fit System
Delivering fit solutions purpose-built for performance, the BOA® Fit System consists of three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial, a super-strong lightweight lace and low friction lace guides. The MK IV no longer relies on a secondary retaining wrist strap, but is now a simple 1 step process activated entirely by the BOA® Fit System for a fast, effortless, precision fit.
Metacarpal & Exoskeleton
The striking exoskeleton spines now have a much lower profile, a softer feel and are more aero dynamic than before, yet just as effective.
The metacarpal protector covering the back of the hand houses a gel lining for impact absorption.
Scaphoid Protection System
The new SPS Impact is the latest development of the Knox patented Scaphoid protection system and has the added benefit of MICRO-LOCK impact protection incorporated into the slider.
Kangaroo Palm
Sustainable 0.8mm Kangaroo hide has been selected for its superior strength and enhanced feel on the palm and 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.

Palm Circumference (A): Palm circumference is the total measurement around the widest part of the palm and over the knuckles. Put the tape around your palm and make a fist, then note the measurement.
Hand Length (B): Measure from your wrist crease to the end of your middle finger.
Measure your hand length and width and choose size the closest to your measurements. This should fit your hand correctly. If your hand fits one measure but not the 2nd, or if you prefer a looser fit, we would advise choosing the next size up.
| Men's Hand Size | S | M | L | XL | XXL | XXXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Palm Circumference (mm) | 215 | 230 | 245 | 260 | 275 | 290 |
| Hand Length (mm) | 186 | 193 | 200 | 207 | 214 | 221 |
HAND ARMOUR
Hands are one of our greatest assets, vitally important for gripping, holding, feeling, and modulating. In short, they’re worth protecting!
HANDROID GLOVES
The Handroid has been the Pinnacle of the Knox Hand Armour collection since 2010, and the 4th generation Mk4 is still the ultimate in motorcycle sports design.

(verified owner)Extremely happy with the build and fit of these gloves. I have had a pair of the Pods for about a year and have already been a quite pleased with those. These Handroids are sure to do the same, with the added sense of security of the full coverage these armoured gauntlets give.

(verified owner)fine work on a good product. i probably have to exchange for one size up due to my hands being wider around the thumb and i cannot get it on my hand, but other wise i am happy with product.
David Hewson
(verified owner)Having tried many race spec gloves over the years, these are the best by far. The fit is snug but correct, the protection is top notch (I’ve tested a previous set) and the feel is great. There is a reason I keep coming back to these, they do everything I want!
Pontus Nordin
(verified owner)The fit is awesom! Feel safer with this glove on, then all my other gloves! A must have for the track or the streets! Buy!
Sean Downham
(verified owner)Very impressed with the quality and feel of these gloves. Echoing what others have said: Hands feel secure and well protected in these, some great features. The boa system is excellent, I discovered unless you pull the tab on the wire the glove can still be too tight around the wrist. Don’t remember seeing this on the leaflets instructions?! None the less a fantastic pair of gloves, the best I have owned to date.

Bought a pair of Mk4s after a crash took out my trusty Mk3s. By comparison the 4s are slightly thicker in the finger pads—good news for those who ride in the cold, little less so for hot weather riders—and the BOA closure extending to the wrists now took some learning but makes total sense once you get the hang of it, but overall these are the same bulletproof gloves the Handroids have always been. The touchscreen-friendly fingertips are an extremely welcome upgrade, and the overall fit and finish looks a little better than past versions, but just like before, I’ll never trust my hands to any other pair of gloves.
Dave Williams
(verified owner)I’ve been a wearer of Alpinestars gloves for over 20 years but decided to try these and I’m glad I did. They are super comfy, everything feels secure and the fact that you can adjust the cuff fastening the way you can feels so much better than a velcro fastening.
My only gripe, and it is me being very picky, is that the index finger spine armour on the left glove isn’t long enough. When I clench my fist the spine pops out but I have to add that this does not happen when the hand is on the bike grip so in no way does it hinder the ride
