The Knox Handroid MK IV Motorcycle Gloves take a bold step forward in modern design and innovation.
The award winning Handroid set the standard for motorcycle sports gloves a decade ago, due to the unique design and look, including the famous exo skeleton finger spines for impact and abrasion resistance.
The challenge for Knox has always been to continuously improve, innovate and develop the right products. And with the Handroid MK IV Motorcycle glove, to make the design exciting and accessible to urban and sports riders alike.
The result is a new sleek and modern aesthetic, available in more colours than ever before.
The striking exoskeleton spines now have a much lower profile, a softer feel and 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All high points have been replaced by smooth slick mouldings made in strong but soft TPU.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 and supple feel. 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.
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.
The continued collaboration with BOA® has resulted in a huge step forward, improving the overall fit and security of the glove. 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.
Fit and comfort have been significantly improved 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 and have a tradition of producing only the highest quality race gloves.
A 15 test CE approval process gives external verification and covers materials, fit, cut, abrasion resistance, seam and tear strength and impact absorption. EN 13594- 2015
The Handroid MK IV – marks a decade of Knox Hand Armour and the creation of a new class of Handroid, designed to set a new standard in gloves for all riders.

The Boa tightening wheel around my wrist provides a secure feeling too, helping me dial in before going out on the road or preparing for a race. I've crash tested these gloves a few times, the scaphoid protection works extremely well. Buy these gloves if you value quality and safety in your motorcycle wear.
I'll update after I have a chance to get out and circumnavigate Mt. Rainier for 5 hours, or do the North Cascade Loop/Wenatchee/Leavenworth/Seattle route for 9 hours
TL/DR: great service, follow their size advice!
Overall I have no actual complaints.
Giving this glove 5 stars!!
Love them!!
Sizing runs a little small. I wear an XL in Joe Rocket and Scorpion and picked up a 2XL and my hand fits snug. Just realize you need to have decently long fingers to fill out that size glove. Nothing needs to be said about how awesome they look...All around fantastic gloves! An investment no doubt, but fingers and wrists are worth keeping intact.
I expect this pain to dissapear with more use because i like them too much...
The built quality and fit are excellent, and the stitching is perfect.
The Boa system works very well and easy to get used to.
Hand mobility is easier than expected, given the hand support on the back of the gloves.
I expect that the gloves will stretch over time as they get worn, and I may be able to fit the Cold Killers (M size) inners for winter.
My hand measured 230cm, so I bought the large (245cm), and the glove fits snuggly, so buying the bigger size - as recommended by Knox - must be heeded.
I look forward to my first ride to get a complete picture of their performance and comfort on the bike.

Fast delivery, will be ordering more from Knox!
Looking forward to breaking the gloves in this season and picking up more Knox goodies.
The most important part for me is the scaphoid protection (I broke my scaphoid before and it sucks), apart from that the kangaroo leather is top notch for abrasion resistance and the exoskeleton is revolutionary protection system.
Let’s not forget the BOA system for tightening the gloves that is more convenient to use that the traditional Velcro.
All in all those gloves are the best investment for hand protection!

I can't comment on the crash protection yet as I haven't fallen off while but im sure they will work fine.
I just lowsided in these gloves and not only did they save me from rash/a broken wrist, they are barely scuffed up. I bet I could crash in these 10 more times before needing to replace them.
Needless to say, Handroids are the only glove I want to wear. I recommend them to everyone. You will not be disappointed with these gloves!

Will let you know if I put a wheel wrong and really need the protection factor.
I research all of the high end brands and their flagship gloves and decided I needed to try on some.
The handroids fit perfectly and the kangaroo palm allows you to feel more connected to the bike and there is no restriction from the Exo skeleton design.
I could right an endless review on how good these are but I would advise anyone looking to actually try them on and purchase them.
Much higher protection than I've ever had previously. Very reassuring. Definitely would recommend for anyone after max protection.
They looked almost l...More
They looked almost like a bionic extension to my arm which gave a confidence in them that I didnt feel with my old gloves. It helps I guess that they look like they will live up to the expectations I have for them. The armour on the fingers is so unobtrusive that you don't even remember it is there when the gloves are on, and the adjustable gauntlet makes them incredibly comfortable whilst keeping the protection in place. The wrist action is totally free from obstruction and the kangaroo palm gives fantastic feedback. The small vent holes are good but I would perhaps like them to give a bit more airflow on the hotest days.
All in all, I would recommend these gloves to any rider and will buy more of the same when I need to replace them.
Annual Mileage: 15,000
Ride type: Commute/Pleasure
Bike: Sports Tourer
I would not wear any other gloves at the TT or other street circuits. The external armor on the fingers provides better protection than anything else on the market. I actually had a broken finger from a stone kicked up by a bike in front of me at the TT 4 years ago...while wearing a lesser brands glove. Ever since then I only wear Handroids as they would've saved me from that simple yet frustrating injury!
The Handroids hold up over multiple crashes and protect your hands in every instance. On top of that they are comfortable from the first time you slide them on and I have found them to not need to be broken in.
