A fresh take on an old concept, the new Alpinestars Supertech glove offers premium hand protection for motorcycle road racers and track-day riders.

MotoAmerica Superbike racers Cameron Beaubier, Roger Hayden, and Jake Gagne are among the Alpinestars-supported riders who will soon be wearing a brand-new glove. Used in competition this past season by MotoGP riders Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo, among others, the Supertech has been in development for three years.

Said to be the “most technically advanced performance racing glove,” the Supertech is positioned a step above the current top-of-the-line GP Tech and incorporates what Alpinestars claims are groundbreaking construction methods and material technologies leading to enhanced feel and even better protection.

Among the technical highlights:

• Full-grain kangaroo- and goat-leather construction
• Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) dual-density, foam-backed knuckle and wrist protection
• Ergonomically shaped TPU-injected cuff with Velcro closures
• Two-piece “3D Thermo Shaped” finger construction
• Pre-curved finger and thumb “fourchettes”
• Abrasion- and heat-resistant CarbonX fabric on the heel of the palm
• Kevlar-reinforced stretch insert between the thumb and palm
• ARSHIELD aramid reinforcement on the palm and outer abrasion points
• Three-dimensional, TPU-injected finger sliders
• Perforations on the fourchettes and back of the hand
• Leather accordion inserts on the tops of thumb and fingers
• Heat-resistant lining inside top of hand, thumb, and fingers
• Modified patented third- and fourth-finger bridge
• Lateral leather accordion insert
• CE Level 2 certified
• Printed logos
