While the trickle-down effect might fail in the economic world, it holds steady in riding gear. First, the need is determined by bold blooded racers, then the gear is refined for them -- but eventually it finds its way to the common rider with a lowered price and a few styling changes to fit modern fashion. This is how we find the SMX-2. Inspired by motocross needs, Alpinestars gives the common street rider a durable, great-looking glove for a reasonable price.
The SMX-2 boasts a carbon fiber knuckle protector that has gained popularity due to its simple practicality. Clarino synthetic leather covers the palm, but rest assured that there is true, full-grain leather reinforcing it to give you excellent abrasion protection where you need it.
Human hands are equipped with fingerprints for improved traction, so why not deliver the same engineering to gloves? Alpinestars has provided silicone printing on the fingertips of the SMX-2 to give the rider a better grip and prevent slipping.
Short and light, these gloves combine the protection that the harsh world of riding requires and the practical comfort derived from the knowledge that you don't need to go overboard with your PPE. The SMX-2 gloves have a good-looking stitched composite appearance and can be had in black, blue, grey, orange, or an intense red.
