It's fitting that, after winning 'Best gloves' for the tenth consecutive year in the Motorrad Magazine awards (The World's biggest selling bike mag) that arguably the best road racer on the planet, Michael Dunlop, has chosen to wear Held motorcycle gloves this season. The Titan Gloves are not newcomers to TT success- Gary Johnson wore them in 2014 during his TT winning ride!

Michael's Gloves, The Held Titan Evo, RRP £249.99

These gloves are all about safety for racers- and road riders: There's heaps of protection, dare we say these may be the most protective motorcycle gloves ever. There's a new titanium knuckle, new and improved from the old Titan, new wrist slider with titanium insert, carbon and gel protectors on sides of hand! There is also DuPont Kevlar at the necessary zones including the finger bridge which is designed to stop your fingers separating and breaking in the event of a slide. If you were going to slide, you'd want to be wearing Titan Evo's! The best just got better.
