Knox Scaphoid Protection System
The first glove protection system from Knox. There are an estimated 100,000 Scaphoid injuries per year
in the UK alone. The injury is common amongst bikers and the healing process is slow and often complicated. It occurs because of the “grab effect” of leather gloves on a road surface.
In an accident the glove palm grips the tarmac but the rider is thrown forward. This puts a strain on the Scaphoid that often results in a break due to hyper extension. The Knox SPS eliminates this grab effect allowing the palm to slide forward, reducing the risk of Scaphoid injury.
Several leading brands of gloves now incorporate Knox SPS.
