Knox Biomech - A long term review

Knox Biomech Gloves - A long term review


Having owned the Knox Biomech gloves for over two years we are in a pretty good position to offer a long term review. We've thrown everything at them, except some tarmac and they have done brilliantly so far.



The Biomech glove is a summer/racing glove with some of the best impact and slide protection we've come across. Super strong and tear-resistant 'Kangaroo' leather covers the inside palm and fingers. The unique Knox 'Boa Lacing' system makes them easy to get on and off - which is a real bonus on those hot summer track sessions. 


They are one of the only gloves to date that offer maximum feel, making track days and fast riding so much easier. There's nothing worse than a thick glove that offers no feedback when pulling the brake lever.

If you get caught out by the rain, you can expect the dye to stain your hands. We found his out the hard way, but the gloves haven't lost any colour and some warm soapy water got rid of the staining on our hands.



Because we like a glove with feel, these have covered well over 10k miles and are still holding up well. They have even suffered the cold of last winter - but we won't be making that mistake again this year, now we have the Dainese Ergotour Gore-Tex glove.

Apart from the usual discoloring the only major wear to these gloves has been to the leather on the corner of the palm slider. It hasn't worn all the way through but we think they would be due a replacement end of next year.


If someone could make a waterproof, thermal glove as comfortable as these, with as much feel, they'd be flying off the shelves. They are available online for around £100 now, since there are new versions out, but we think they are a worth while investment if you're after a race/road summer glove
