Bickle Racing Glove Special

[Bickle Racing]

We have a special on our latest edition to Bickle Racing.
Our Race II Glove is Premium cowhide aniline leather. With knuckle and wrist protection
as well as reinforced palms.
When money is tight and gloves get thinner and thinner along with more "bling,bling" the price just keeps going up!.
We have spent five years working to find a manufacturer that will build us an "old school"
glove. Today UV rays and sweat are the hardest thing on gloves. Also, the thinner the leather the
quicker they wear out. So if you buy an exspensive pair of gloves they usually wear out well before you get your money out of them
So we looked for good cowhide and basic protection where you need it.Back to basics! Internal seams to help protect them.
These gloves currently fit a size smaller. So if you were to normally take a large in most gloves I would suggest an XL.
Regularly $129 on for $89.
We also have a model with slightly less wrist protection regularly $99 on for $69.

By "less wrist protection", do you mean shorter cuff?

They are very close in design, just a little less padding on the cuff and fore finger

I've been wearing these all summer. You do need to be fit a size larger IMHO as John says.



The gloves are well made, well stitched and the leather is good and thick. Having crashed in a set of cheap (actually, they were the same price as Bickle's!) gloves at Calabogie I can tell you that it's important. I wore right through a knuckle guard, leather and into my left pinky finger in that crash with a lesser glove and don't want to repeat that experience, as I will bear the scar for life.

Do you mind if I repost this to the Track Fanatics pages, John?

[Jayv]

Yep they are nice gloves.

Buying a pair from John to use for 2013.

Dave had some of these in stock the last time I was there and they look like well made gloves.

How hot would these be in the summer for street use? Are there perforations between the fingers?

[Wingboy]

Hey John.Will you have any at the Jan show?I'll find my size and buy a pair for track use.

[Shaman]

These gloves are definitely track-focused but you could wear them on the street (I have). Personally, street or track I want a good quality glove. People that wear gloves without proper wrist protection (gauntlet) mystify me.

No they don"t have any perforations between the fingers.Reason being that would be designing them to fail. The more seams the more holes the more bling,
the more that can go wrong. MY opinion anyway.

Comparing the gloves is not something one can really do. Only becasue these have no cuff and are well ventalated. So depending on which side of the fence you stand,, would depend on which style you would use, or not use. Regardless of whether you street ride or track ride,,,your hands are usually the first to hit the ground. Gravity does not care if you ride on the road or track. I see more guys that hit the ground in one year then most do in a life time. So I lean towards the gauntlet style.

As of right now,, I'm not sure where I might be.
I usually go up on the Saturday. But unsure of where I will be hanging out.
But we can sort something out,,for sure.

Great, but would probably be very warm in the summer. Thanks anyways,

I have a pair of the SMX-2 Carbon (I bought a used bike and they were thrown in for free). Do yourself favour and buy decent gloves (ie. non of the ones you posted). I wear Alpnestars GP Pro both on the street and track. I've had John do work for me on a few pieces and I fully trust him if he says his gloves are good. You won't find a better deal than he's posted.

[Shaman]

FWIW, the Bickle gloves fit me better than the GP Pros. I gave mine away because they were biting into me along the top row of knuckles after an hour. YMMV.

[Bickle Racing]

FYI,,, Just sorted out some women's sizes and will have a few sets hopefully in January.

any chance I canget a blue and white
