The Knox Handroid gloves are probably the most unique looking gloves to come in to the Riders Discount office in quite some time. The exoskeleton spines running up the fingers and across the top of the hand were the first thing to catch my attention. These look like they should be the gloves for Bane carrying a fluorescent green fluid... Next was the wrist closure mechanism. Where there normally would be a Velcro closure on the gauntlet was instead, a Boa Lacing System. On the rest of the glove you'll find a full range of safety and technical features such as Kangaroo leather, external stitching, double layers of leather in impact areas and more we'll go over in this review. Retails at $269.95 First up, these are not yet listed on the website but we have these available to order. If you would like to place an order or have any questions, feel free to give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804. Is email more convenient? Send us a message through this forum or write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! The exoskeleton spines - While these do look very cool and enough for any curious enthusiast to start a conversation with you, they do serve a very real purpose. These spines are attached to a fixed point on the middle knuckles and move in and out of the top armor via hidden springs. These take a load off of your hand by helping to maintain the curve around your grip and serve as protection for your knuckles in the event you go down. External armor - Everywhere you look there is armor to protect your hand. The most crucial area and a common impact zone is the outside of your palm. Knox have added two sliders here along with an additional layer of leather along the pinky. Knox have also added a palm slider for even more protection. Knox really went above and beyond the "usual" amount of armor found on gloves. This armor position does not get in the way of your handlebar grip and you do not notice it's there. Boa Lacing System - Snowboarders, hikers, hard core runners and bicyclers, will have seen this system before. It's a high-tech replacement for Velcro and offers micro-adjustability. Basically turn the dial until the gauntlet is secured to your liking. When you're done, simply pull the dial out to release the tension. Available in black/white (pictured here), red, white, or all black. These fit true to size and are available today. Give us a call to place your order!

Spidi has been producing gloves since the 1970’s and their 35+ years of experience means that they are no strangers to designing gear that performs at the highest level. The Italian brand used all of this experience, plus input and data from world-class riders like Andrea Dovisioso to bring us their latest and greatest pair of gloves – the Spidi Carbo Track. Available from Riders Discount, the Spidi Carbo Track gloves are full grain cowhide gauntlets that are held together with sturdy Kevlar thread. Multiple layers of leather cover vulnerable areas like the fingers, while synthetic Clarino is laid over it to reinforce the palms. The gloves are also bristling with other protective materials that work with the high-end leather to keep your hands safe. Like many gloves, you will find carbon fiber guards over the knuckles and back of the hands, but there are also multiple layers of energy absorbing materials underneath these pieces that help keep impact force to a minimum. The most noticeable feature of the Carbo Track gloves, however, has to be Spidi’s Warrior Tech system. These are the panels of rubbery, plastic-like material that run from the wrist to the pinkie on the outside of the hand. The material itself is highly abrasion resistant, has excellent impact absorbing properties, and works as a slider to deflect energy away. It is separated in to cube shaped pieces within each panel that allow it to flex extremely well without reducing the amount of protection it provides. Spidi’s Carbo Track gloves are both track ready and comfortable enough to be worn on the street, so they make a great option for any rider that is looking for high-end gloves that provide excellent protection and build quality. You can order a pair by getting in touch with MIKE through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804. If email is more convenient, feel free to send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! The Spidi Carbo Track gloves are shown here in the Dovisioso replica graphic, but are also available in White/Black, Black, Black/Red, and Black/Yellow. The palm is reinforced with Clarino and Spidi’s Warrior Tech panels act as palm sliders. From the opposite side you can see how the Warrior Tech panel wraps around and covers the outside of the palm as well. Carbon fiber protects the knuckles and back of the hand. Multiple layers of energy absorbing materials are stacked underneath to keep impact energy to a minimum.

Since I pre-registered for once and since TRMN8TR is so not on top of it, I guess I will post this thread. Come one, come all to play on saturday and sunday in beautiful Wampum, Pennsylvania. BeaveRun/PIRC is a great track and motoseries is a great org to race/ride with. It is on September 14 and 15, the track day being on the saturday the 14th. Most of us will get there friday night, and hang out saturday night to ride go karts and drink and skull fuck hollywood's bike. I will be there to ride in Advanced on satuday (probably not coaching, though I may give the occasional tow around in Intermediate if anyone needs one) and racing on sunday. Post up if you're going, wanna go, have questions, not sure, and generally need to be peer pressured into going.

SOLD.

This is going to take a slightly longer time table to sort, post and send out CD's. With Joe helping me shoot I have nearly 70 gigs of images to go through! Please be patient as this will take quite some time and I have two other clients I am taking care of this week as well. Thank you.

Come one, come all! Watch, as I trample over TRMN8TR's dreams of being the thread starter for all the moto series weekend events. June 29th is the track day, June 30th is the race day. post up if you're coming, are thinking about coming, want to come but don't know how to get it up, and post if you're not coming so we can ridicule you into coming. As far as I know, trmn8tr and myself will be there. I hope to see the new noob racers there for this round, since we missed you last round.

After loosing the last file, here is the updated version. Event Flyer.pdf https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=KlfJK0jSw0Z6Fc9WYIKV2g

You may not be able to walk into a dealership and leave with a MotoGP prototype bike like Jorge Lorenzo’s Yamaha YZR-M1 or the Honda RC213V of Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa, but you can give Riders Discount a call and have the same suit worn by some of the best riders in the world delivered right to your door (minus the custom fit, of course) - the Alpinestars Race Replica. The Alpinestars Race Replica is the brand’s flagship suit. It is constructed using their premium, full grain, 1.3mm leather for the highest level of abrasion resistance and durability. The leather pieces are sewn together into an aggressive race fit using multiple-stitched main seams that are extremely resistant to tearing. Perforation is abundant on the large leather panels, but it is not found everywhere. Alpinestars carefully thought out the layout of the perforations in order to provide a great deal of ventilation without reducing the strength of the leather by punching too many holes in it. For this reason, you will find that there are no perforations next to the seams, or in high risk abrasion zones. In addition to high-grade leather, a variety of armor types beef up the protection provided by the Race Replica. Starting at the top of the suit, the shoulders have hard, thermoplastic molded shoulder protectors that not only provide a great deal of impact protection, but also vent air through the open channels in the shell. Alpinestars has been involved with top riders for years, and this means that they have a gathered a lot data from numerous crashes. This data, combined with their own research means that they are very familiar with the parts of the body that touch down first and most often in a crash. This is why they beefed up the elbows and forearms by using a seamless leather construction with external PU protectors on top. These take the brunt of the impact and slide instead of catching the pavement. Impact energy is further mitigated by the CE certified armor and energy absorbing foam found underneath the leather. Inside the torso, Alpinestars provides a CE level 2 back protector and a chest protector. The chest also has pockets that allow you to easily add the Bionic Chest Guards if you choose to do so. Continuing down the suit, you will find the tried and true knee protectors that will be familiar to those that have worn the previous generation suit. Alpinestars did not carry these over to the new suit because they are cutting corners, they did so because they are highly effective. External TPU armor wraps around the knee and CE certified protectors with energy absorbing foam backs it up underneath. One unique aspect of these knee protectors is the is the soft grip patch found on the inner surface of each of each leg that helps give you better contact with the bike. All of this protection means that the suit isn't exactly lightweight, but this doesn’t mean it’s uncomfortable. The new Race Replica is a stiff suit at first and many think it is too small when they first try it on, but it stretches and conforms to your body very quickly thanks to the abundant leather and Kevlar stretch panels. Torso mobility is aided by the new leather stretch panels encircling the shoulder and connecting to the collar. These same panels branch off and run down down the side of the body to the waist. The lower body is flexible due to the use of Kevlar stretch material in the crotch and back of the legs, but this ends at the knee. Leather stretch panels take over again at that point to surround the knee armor and cover the entire calf. The calf is another area that generally feels tight the first time the suit is worn, but it stretches to your size quickly. One of the reasons that you find the additional stretch panels in the upper body is the optional Tech Air airbag system. This system is a great piece of technology that Alpinestars has been developing for more than 10 years. It uses sensors and a computer to constantly monitor rider movement so that it can determine if a crash is imminent by recognizing movements that deviate from the norm. In the event that a crash is going to happen, the airbags can be deployed in less than .05 seconds to protect the shoulders and collarbones. The Tech Air Airbag system is not available through dealers at this time and must be purchased directly through Alpinestars themselves. The Alpinestars Racing Replica suit is the best mass produced suit on the market, whether you use the airbag system or not, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. You can inquire about yours by getting in touch with MIKE through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804. If email is more convenient for you, feel free to send one to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! This suit is available in Black, White/Red, and the Black/White/Yellow shown here. MSRP $2899.95 The front of the suit is perforated heavily, but it is broken up by solid sections so that it doesn't reduce the strength of the leather. Notice how the perforations don't reach the seams. Leather stretch panels make this a flexible suit and give the additional expansion room necessary for the optional Tech Air Airbag system. The collar is soft for comfort and it lets air flow right through it. The hump also catches air and sends it down your back to help keep you cool. The forearm features GP-style protection through the elbow, plus a seamless piece of leather that covers the padding underneath. Shoulder armor serves double-duty by protecting and channeling air into the suit. The knee armor serves a dual-purpose as well. It not only protects, but also helps you grip your bike. The grey portion shown on the inside of this knee is the softer grip pad.
