Clothing Innovation of the Year 2010
Knox Handroid Hand Armour - Gloves
We Said: The Knox Handroid was hotly anticipated and with very good reason, not only do you get the expertise of the Knox armour specialists but also a totally new way of looking at hand armour and protection, with never before seen technology on motorcycle clothing the whole protection is impressive and more importantly its totally functional, one area I enjoy reviewing is in the gloves market and I get to view and eventually review a large amount of products and until now my favourite glove of them all has been the aforementioned offering from Spada - however there is a new king in town and it is called the Handroid!
For anyone's money it is seriously worth a look if you can justify the high end price tag that goes with it.

We Said: In use the Esystem was flawless and out of the chain oiling products we have tested at Bikechatter it is the one we would all pick if we had the choice, fitting is simple and non-technical and overall it appears to be a very convenient product.
Price wise we are starting to see deals pop up over the net which is good, at £210.00 RRP it is quite costly if you have not used one and have no first hand experience of the hassle it will save, that said for everyone who has used it the cost seemed to dwindle into a moot point.
Some people will be staunchly against spending above £150 for a lazy way to lube their chain but when you factor in the time it save you for both oiling the chain manually and also cleaning up the fling from your wheel and then base that on a number of years using the Esystem it surely pays for itself - we are all sold on it and it seems across the intertubes a lot of other journo's are too!
