Thanks for watching,

Love my Knox gloves, wouldn't swap to any other brand.
Thanks so much for the feedback!! 👍
Cool to see mk4 - the Knox handroids have been with my through 5 crashes in a 6 year period and I’ve never tried another glove- and have saved my hands time and time again. Scaphoid protectors work brilliantly, the exoskeleton system also is great and during the worst crash that left me in hospital in 2016 the only damage to my hand were my pinky and ring finger as the bar end pinned my hand at about 50mph. That first pair of gloves lasted me through two accidents, then another through two, and I’m still wearing a set that are three years old now- could do with an upgrade but still going strong! Now just make them waterproof with the same feel and I’ll be even happier ;)
Thanks John, thats really great feedback appreciate it! So glad they protected you! The waterproof issue is pretty difficult due to the construction of the glove we're afraid. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
I'm glad you listened to our criticism of your last video, this one is good, thanks!
Thanks Steven! Aaron, Knox
I love these gloves. The slider works so well along with the stitching that doesn't fall apart. I've gone down twice with these gloves and they still holding up.
I'm not gonna lie.... I low key want to build a motorcycle channel just so that I can review this companies products. They are so elegant and just fing cool.
As someone who has experienced the protection of the MkI first-hand, the introduction of the MkIV is incredibly exciting!
Thanks so much for the feedback!! Aaron - Knox :)
The best gloves out there! TIP: Want these to last, use a glove dryer like PEET after using. Knox, if you continue servicing the warranties on these, I am pretty sure people will keep buying it. On my MK4, I've had some stitching issues on the pull tab
Well i have buy them. Good right out the box but they started to hurt for my second ride. Im afraid to have a sizing too low despite the thumb is too long. I will give them a second chance and ride a maximum this weekend then i will decide if i keep them or sell them.
Update : finally after a break-in, they fit good
Wow these are some serious gloves.
Thanks!! :)
2 pairs, I'm that confident after this wkends Tester , all Black is a Must & seeing the Superb Workmanship ". .
Aww! Just gloved up with two pair on sale over the holiday, of the previous version. White, black and red and a black pair of Zero 3, covers me for a while for bikes in California and black previous version/Zero 3 for bike in Michigan. The used red mechanics I bought used ten years finally split at the flap gusset and I replaced the Boa mechanism on the left once after a full years use. These are awesome, sturdy, protective and worth every penny expensive! That's right, five pair!
Great video, have been waiting months for these was hoping to see them last year at the NEC but was disappointed they werent ready. Cant wait to order these, hopefully will give positive feedback 👍.
Thanks Mr Hulk Hogan!! 😁
These look awesome. I might get the pod version. Do they have touchscreen capable fingertips and a screenvisor for rides in the rain?
Hi, awesome! No, they don't feature touchscreen sensitive material or screen visor. Thanks, Aaron, Knox.
Excellent update review. Love my Handroids!
Thank you guys so much for the blue, ordering soon!!
I'm super fussy with my gloves and comfort, but these seem extremely comfortable, the only reason i don't own a pair is the thumb being far too long. I can't believe i'm alone on this? Any chance of any change here?
I had exactly the same issue. That and it took forever with the pure BOA system now instead of the hybrid which was way better. I've returned mine, keen on hoping for a fix for Mk5's or I'll be changing brands (unfortunately as I loved my MK1's)
Just to make sure, the scaphoid protectors have a hard plastic layer enclosing the microlock material, not rubber, right? Just making sure they'll still act as sliders rather than just impact absorption.
Hi, yes absolutely, that is the whole idea of Knox SPS. The SPS impact has hard plastic on the outside for the sliding effect and them microlock on the inside meaning you have impact protection and sliding. Hope that helps, Aaron Knox.
@@KnoxArmour awesome, that's what I thought, just had to make sure. Thanks!
Need more handroids in my collection 🏆🤙 to test the new one is a honor 🏁
It doesn't offer touchscreen sensitivity on the finger tips, right?
So, you're discontinuing the MK. III? :(
Hi yes Mk3 is discontinued, Mk4 is the new version! Thanks Aaron Knox
Has any improvement been made to the inner stitching and/or inner lining? That is the biggest difference I've felt in my Handroid mk3 vs gloves from Held and so on - they are incredibly comfortable to wear, whereas the handroids tend to chafe at some pressure points.
Hi, thanks for the comment. The Handroid MKIV is the best fitting and most comfortable Handroid glove we have ever and all our testing has shown significant improvements overall. Thanks, Aaron, Knox.
Where can I bought new wire to gloves?
Hi, please email us on sales@planet-knox.com and we can help. Thanks, KNOX
These look great and will be a too contender next time I buy gloves.
Thanks, they are literally the best! Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour they look like the best I have seen in any review and will check them out at motorcycle live if I don't see them before.
Finally thumb protector. I destroyed my right one in an accident with a car hit me from side so i want the max right now
Cool. Brown leather please. 👍
I want them like now
i've the Mk3 version, they're incredible but the new model seems to be even better!
Sorry not a fan, coming from the original MK1's that fit perfectly and had an awesome system, the MK4's are just terrible. Thumb is too long (like many people complain about) and the new BOA system is TERRIBLE. It is fiddly enough getting the first glove on yet the 2nd glove having to keep pulling those wires and keep twisting the dial is a nightmare and takes ages. Also the dial was better on the original as well.
Lastly the stitching I never felt on my MK1's were constantly annoying and really uncomfy on the tips of my fingers in this glove, unlike the MK1. Really disappointed overall, I sent them back. On top of all this there was a price rise for what it felt like a huge downgrade in many areas.
This is the first time I'm having to go elsewhere for another brand, hopefully MK5 addresses these issues.
Which MotoGp riders use these?
None currently, but loads of pro and non pro racers do use them. Thanks, Aaron Knox.
i wish i had them on my hand and maybe i would not need surgery to put together my scaphoid bone from 4 to 1 piece =/
Ouch sorry to hear that! Hope you recover well. Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour oh, i hope too, Aaron. Thank you. If i will continue riding after recovery, i will definitely get a pair of Handroids.
Dude I wanna be a beta tester soooo bad
Somehow, my next pair will have a GPS.
Nice idea!! Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour last pair twas lifted! So i gotta be prepared! Those short cuff are muah(insert chef kissing fingers)
MKIII version looks better
