Knox have introduced an all-black version of their multi award-winning Handroid gloves and increased the size range in response to public demand. Available in five colour options, the designs have all been updated for 2013 and now come in a choice of seven sizes, from XS- 3XL.

Instantly recognisable thanks to the distinctive exoskeleton that covers the fingers and offers abrasion resistance, the latest designs in the Handroid range also feature the newest version of the patented KNOX Scaphoid Protection System (DC SPS), constructed with a combination of LDPE (Low density Polyethylene) and TPR (Thermo plastic Rubber) for increased performance and comfort. LDPE has a self-lubricating property, helping to reduce friction and a soft cushioning TPR gives added comfort for the rider.

Extra impact absorption is provided by a comfortable gel pad on the back of the hand that covers the metacarpals and the Handroid is protected on all sides with wrist and cuff sliders. Manufactured from Japanese race quality drum-dyed aniline hide, with a full kangaroo skin palm, Handroids are held firmly in place with second generation patented Boa closure system, with a lower profile micro-adjustable dial.

Handroids are available in five colours – all-black, black/white, white, blue and red, retailing for £159.99 (including VAT). Visit www.knox-armour.co.uk
