One of the most popular gloves by IXON are the RS Tempo Air which is designed for summer riding and hitting the track. Luca had them on at the recent six-hour bucket enduro.

These gloves feature a perforated fabric construction and a breathable lining, which helps to keep hands cool and dry in hot weather. They also have a pre-curved finger construction, which helps to reduce fatigue on long rides or races. Some special features touchscreen compatibility, Reflective elements for increased visibility and adjustable wrist strap.

The RS Tempo Air glove work as good as they sound. The first aspect I appreciate was trying them on for the first time, normally gloves can be tough and cause blisters when breaking them in but I found immediate comfort from the get go.

The breathing holes all around the glove work well as I found out in the 6 Hour race and have the design set out perfectly, they allow most of the palm to breathe cooling down when it gets a bit sweaty. On the top side of the fingers and around the knuckles it’s plain leather with cushions around the finger knuckles, this protects them from the harsh wind when riding in winter, so you don’t get stiff joints!

Luca wore the IXON gloves in the Pheasant Wood 6 Hour. Stay tuned for his review on the leathers.

Most importantly, they are safe! IXON use a high quality leather (made from 63 per cent goat leather) so the gloves will protect the whole hand to the bottom of your wrist, riding around on the streets and even giving it some on the track. The outside of your hand is definitely the most vulnerable to injury when crashing, so IXON have that extra layer of leather to protect in and around the pinky finger.

“For $139.95 iRRP t’s definitely worth it to buy and stay protected while looking schmick.”

I love the red and black leather! They work well together it gives off an intimidating, fierce, sophisticated look that works well on motorcycles in general. For $139.95 RRP it’s definitely worth it to buy and stay protected while looking schmick.
