Gloves According to Bike Type

Mountain Bike Gloves

Mountain bike gloves are usually long, very durable, and offer a higher level of protection, but depending on what the rider is looking for, they will have different characteristics.

If the rider wants better feel, sensitivity, and grip, they will choose gloves without padding in the palm; if they are looking for better cushioning, protection, and vibration absorption, the ideal choice would be gloves with more or less thick gel or foam inserts in the palm, as is the case with enduro, cross-country, all-mountain, or freeride practices. They usually feature knuckle protections, usually made of D3O, and TPR inserts in the finger phalanges for better impact protection.

Road Bike Gloves

Road cycling gloves usually offer greater sensitivity, grip, and comfort, with fewer protections. In this practice, the hands remain more static, making them more sensitive to the cold, so these gloves are usually made with thicker materials.

Triathlon Gloves

Triathlon gloves are typically designed to provide high levels of breathability and a perfect feel and grip on the handlebar. Their characteristics are very similar to road cycling gloves, but in this case, they are used for triathlon competitions.

Urban Bike Gloves

In urban cycling gloves, comfort prevails; they should be lightweight gloves with minimal protection and very practical as they will be used daily, often on short trips, so putting on and taking off the gloves should be quick and easy.

Questions About Bike Gloves

What are the recommended gloves for MTB?

The ideal gloves for mountain biking are those made with very durable materials as the hands are in direct contact with elements that can cause tears, burns, and greater wear on the gloves.

Most of them have protections on the back of the hand, specifically in the knuckles and finger phalanges, to offer greater protection since the outer part of the hand is in direct contact with natural elements.

Palm protections are also useful as they are what we instinctively use to break a fall. When we become unbalanced and fall off the bike, the first thing that touches the ground is usually the palms of our hands. These protections also have another function, as the padding and gel inserts help absorb bumps and vibrations, providing a more comfortable ride. Some MTB gloves do not have these types of protections as they aim to offer perfect feel and good grip on the handlebars to handle and control the bike correctly at all times.

What are the differences between MTB and road gloves?

The main difference between road and mountain gloves is the level of protection. Mountain gloves offer more protection on the knuckles and finger phalanges since the terrains are more challenging and getting scratches is much easier. Another difference is the palm design, which in the case of mountain biking, features gel or foam inserts for proper shock absorption and a more comfortable ride.

On the other hand, road gloves have little to no protection on the back or palm since the terrains are much more stable and consistent. In this case, having good sensitivity for an optimal grip on the handlebars is crucial.

Why should you equip yourself properly for MTB?

Riding on a road with asphalt, few bumps, and nothing around that can harm you is very different from riding a bike on a narrow trail with lots of bumps, stones, trees, and bushes around you.

MTB can be more dangerous due to the many stimuli that the rider has to face, so the risk of falling or simply getting small scratches is higher, making gloves and good gear advisable.
