Impact safety

Scaphoid Bone protection: KNOX® Sport SPS (Scaphoid Protection System) Part #301
Scaphoid injury is the most common hand injury caused by the grab effect when the palm of the hand makes contact with the ground.
The Knox SPS works by attaching 2 parts to the palm of the glove, making a bridge over the scaphoid. These plastic parts act as a slider eliminating the grab effect and scaphoid injuries. This has proven to be a very effective system for riders with no loss of flexibility, discomfort or interference with the controls when operating the bike.
Knuckle protection: Impact-On® HERATROM knuckle protectors (South Korea) with foam backing Part #VIK-001 to absorb impact.
TPR hard-protectors for index and middle finger
Foam finger-inserts for ring, pinky finger and thumb
Leather on tips of fingers
