Race-Inspired Performance for the Everyday Rider

The Alpinestars SP-9 Leather Glove is a performance-driven road glove that bridges the gap between track-derived protection and daily riding comfort. Constructed from durable full-grain goat leather and high-performance synthetic materials, this glove features a MotoGP-derived SP-R divided knuckle for superior impact resistance without compromising flexibility. Its long double-closure cuff and anatomically designed grip ensure a secure fit and precise control during technical manoeuvres.

Key Features

• Goat Leather Construction: Provides an optimum blend of high abrasion resistance, long-term durability, and supple comfort.
• SP-R TPU Knuckle: Optimised for finger flexibility and range of motion to eliminate pressure points during gear changes and braking.
• Street Finger Bridge: Alpinestars' patented system prevents finger separation and twisting while reinforcing outer seams during a slide.
• Perforated Backhand: Strategically placed perforations ensure consistent airflow for temperature regulation during warmer rides.
• Palm and Side Reinforcements: Features an SP-R TPU palm slider and synthetic overlays for maximum protection in high-impact zones.
• Aramid Fibre Reinforcements: High-strength material integrated into the finger bridge and palm slider for enhanced abrasion performance.
• E-touch Fingertips: Integrated conductive material allows for the seamless operation of touchscreen electronic devices.
• Dual Closure System: A long cuff with double fasteners provides extended coverage and a personalised, secure fit over riding jackets.

Advanced Ergonomics and Protection

The SP-9 is engineered with a focus on dexterity, featuring accordion panels on the first two fingers and a 2L stretch membrane around the thumb base. This construction reduces tension during clutch and brake use, while multi-thickness foam and EVA padding across the fingers and cuff provide proven impact absorption. The result is a precise, performance fit that minimises material bunching and maximises rider feel.
