Alpinestars GP Tech V3, gloves

Comprehensively tested using Alpinestars top MotoGP riders including Marc Marquez, Francesco Bagnaia, Alex Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Fabio Quartararo and Enea Bastianini, the true race-spec GP Tech v3 Glove is a completely new Racing Glove platform. Engineered to perfectly suit today’s aggressive MotoGP riding style and modern racing bikes electronics systems, this glove delivers a significant range of motion for the fingers, thumb and wrist, as well as much faster and more intuitive hand movements.

Features

• New generation race bike crash protection: As lean angles and corner speeds have increased, so have the number of high-speed low sides, while high-sides are now mostly happening at low speed, as a result of more advanced riding electronics. This glove utilizes MotoGP crash data to deliver superior race-proven impact and abrasion resistance protection
• ERGO-DYNAMIC development concept: The GP Tech v3 Glove has been developed starting from a whole new concept of ERGO-DYNAMIC, which combines hand ergonomy with specific movement-dynamic required by racing riding
• Developed and designed in 3D: 3D scan and 3D CAD analysis and design have been extensively used in the development of the glove. This process has resulted in a very distinctive and unique 3D appearance, as well as a perfect racing fit, with superior performance and protection
• Two distinct sections: This glove is divided into two distinct sections; the hand and cuff, which guarantees compete hand mobility, while retaining the highest possible degree of protection in the wrist and cuff area
• Fully stitched external cuff outer protection: optimized for maximum protection, superior stability and enhanced aerodynamic performance

Construction

• Pre-curvature angle between the cuff and hand axis for a more natural riding position, while reducing cuff pressure and increasing mobility
• Mobile thumb construction specifically engineered to operate the complexity of suspension devices, electronic interface buttons and additional brake levers
• The new thumb pattern design guarantees the complete movement range of the articulation, especially in the lateral opening of the thumb
• The fingers have a natural resting position angle, which is the base-line of any opening/closing movement of the hand

Protection

• High grade bovine Flex Plus leather chassis with super fabric reinforcement for very high speed abrasion resistance
• Soft Racing Kangaroo leather Palm with high grip overlay for superior durability and an adaptive fit
• Nucleon PLASMA viscoelastic full backhand protection for optimum impact absorption, with a full hand and thumb aramid lining for race-proven protection against heat transfer
• Overinjected dual density GP Knuckle for maximum impact force management
• Palm and lower cuff protection areas are now designed to work together as a single impact and abrasion resistance system
