Italian
motorcycle
gear
makers
Alpinestars
unveiled
an
all-new
race
glove,
which
has
been
in
development
for
the
past
three
years
in
MotoGP.
It
is
termed
as
Supertech,
an
evolution
of
the
GP
Pro
glove.
It
comes
with
a
price
tag
of
$399.95
(Rs
27,500).
The Supertech is CE Certified Level 2 racing glove made using full-grain kangaroo and cow leather with a host of improvements including aramid fibre patches (Alpinestars AR-SHIELD material). These patches are used on the palm and thumb areas.
It also has a heat resistant carbon X membrane that delays heat transfer to the palm, thus reducing the chance of burns in an accident. In addition to that, there is also a bridge between the ring and little fingers to stop separation.
The Supertech has no external seams, allowing maximum feel to reach the rider's fingers. This was trialled by Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso over the past year in his testing for Alpinestars in MotoGP.
For a greater range of movement and comfort, there is an accordion stretch panel behind the knuckle protection and a Kevlar-reinforced stretch insert in the palm, between the thumb and index finger. This helps to release the pressure build-up under heavy braking.
There is also an additional layer of shock-absorbing foam on the top of the glove which helps to dissipate energy in an impact. The knuckle protection also has an integrated shock-absorbing foam.
