Engineered for the high‑octane demands of sport and hypersport motorcycles, the SPIDI CARBO 5 blends Italian‑tanned cowhide leather (0.6‑0.8 mm thick) with a vented leather shell to deliver a rigid yet responsive hand cage. Reinforced with Keramide fabric for abrasion‑resistant palm protection, the glove incorporates Superfabric® textile panels that resist cuts and intrusion, while carbon‑fiber knuckle shields add a lightweight, impact‑deflecting layer. Clarino suede microfiber overlays further enhance durability without sacrificing the glove’s sleek, race‑ready silhouette.
Designed for precision fit and climate control, the CARBO 5 features a dual‑fastening wristband and an accordion‑style sleeve that lock the glove securely while allowing micro‑adjustments for individual hand geometry. The vented leather construction promotes airflow, helping to regulate temperature during aggressive riding, and the lightweight 0.4 kg profile reduces hand fatigue on long track sessions. Strategic padding on the back, side, and palm zones works in concert with the glove’s ergonomic contour to maintain comfort without compromising protection.
Safety is validated by EN 13594:2015 Level 1 certification and CE compliance under EU Directive 89/686/ECC, confirming that the CARBO 5 meets rigorous European protective standards. Warrior shields on the external hand side, high‑resistance Keramide palm support, and carbon‑fiber knuckle guards provide multi‑directional impact mitigation, while the layered padding absorbs shock during real‑world sport riding. This combination of certified engineering and performance‑oriented materials ensures riders receive premium protection without sacrificing the tactile feedback essential for high‑speed control.
