The Honda SP-8 V3 Leather Gloves carry MotoGP-derived racing DNA in a premium road glove with Honda branding. Full-grain goat leather and synthetic leather construction delivers the abrasion resistance and durability that premium road riding demands, and the MotoGP-derived SP dual density knuckle protector provides high-level impact protection. An extended cuff with an elasticized integrated wrist closure gives a secure, personalised fit and greater coverage than a short cuff alternative.
Alpinestars’ patented third and fourth finger bridge prevents seam failure and finger separation in an impact, and an anatomically profiled grip insert on the palm and thumb provides confident control feel and security. AR Shield reinforcement on the palm slider adds further abrasion resistance, and perforated cuff and finger sidewalls improve airflow. Pre-shaped anatomical fingers with half inner/half outer external seams deliver comfort and exceptional feel, and touchscreen fingertips on index and thumb cover device access.
