R Riders Kids Hard Knuckle Gloves – Quick Overview
Best for: young riders wanting full-finger gloves with additional knuckle coverage.
Knuckles: hard, carbon-look knuckle protector.
Palm: padded GO-SHOCK™ palm for additional handlebar comfort.
Upper: flexible Lycra material for unrestricted hand movement.
Interior: super-soft lining for a comfortable fit.
Our view: a practical performance glove combining hard knuckle coverage with the comfort and flexibility needed by younger riders.
The R Riders Kids Hard Knuckle Gloves have been designed with smaller hands in mind, providing young riders with additional knuckle coverage, palm comfort and full-finger protection.
A hard, carbon-look knuckle protector provides additional coverage across a vulnerable area of the hand, while the padded GO-SHOCK™ palm helps keep smaller hands comfortable on the handlebars during longer riding sessions.
The flexible Lycra upper allows the hand and fingers to move naturally when operating the throttle, brake levers and other controls. A super-soft inner lining completes the comfortable, rider-focused design.
These gloves are a practical option for young riders using Revvi electric bikes, balance bikes, BMX bikes and off-road machines.
My Take
These are the more protective-feeling option in the R Riders glove range. They retain the padded palm and flexible upper of the Long Finger Tech Gloves but add a hard, carbon-look protector across the knuckles.
That makes them particularly appealing for confident young riders who want more substantial hand coverage without moving into an excessively heavy or restrictive glove.
For Revvi riders, electric bikes and regular off-road use, these offer a useful balance of knuckle coverage, palm comfort and freedom of movement.

Additional Knuckle Coverage
The hard protector adds a more substantial layer over the knuckles than a standard fabric riding glove.

Kids & Youth Hard Knuckle Glove Size Guide
For the best fit, measure across the widest part of the rider’s palm and from the wrist to the tip of the longest finger.
Use the hand measurements rather than age alone when selecting the most suitable glove size.
Size Age Guide Palm Width Hand Length 2–3 Ages 2–3 7cm 11.5cm 4–5 Ages 4–5 7.5cm 12.5cm 6–7 Ages 6–7 8cm 13.5cm YS – Youth Small Ages 8–9 8.5cm 15cm YM – Youth Medium Ages 10–11 9.5cm 16.5cm YL – Youth Large Ages 12–13 10cm 17.5cm YXL – Youth Extra Large Ages 13+ 10.5cm 18.5cm Age ranges are a guide only. We recommend using the palm-width and hand-length measurements when selecting the most suitable size.
How to Measure for Riding Gloves
1. Measure the Palm Width
Measure straight across the widest part of the palm without including the thumb.
2. Measure the Hand Length
Measure from the base of the wrist to the tip of the longest finger.
3. Compare Both Measurements
Use both measurements to identify the closest size in the table above.
Between sizes? If the rider’s measurements fall between two sizes, the larger option will usually provide the more comfortable fit and additional growing room.

Important Protection Information
Please note: the hard knuckle section, full-finger construction and padded palm provide additional hand coverage but cannot prevent every injury. These gloves should be worn alongside an approved helmet and other protective equipment suitable for the activity.
The knuckle section has a carbon-effect appearance and should not be assumed to be made from genuine carbon fibre.
Before riding, make sure the gloves fit correctly and that the rider can comfortably operate the throttle, brake levers and all handlebar controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gloves suitable for Revvi electric bikes?
Yes. They are a practical option for young Revvi riders, provided the correct size is selected and the rider can operate all controls comfortably.
Are the knuckle protectors made from carbon fibre?
The hard knuckle section has a carbon-look finish. It should not be assumed to be manufactured from genuine carbon fibre.
What is the GO-SHOCK™ palm?
It is a padded section positioned on the palm to provide additional comfort where the rider’s hand contacts the handlebar.
How should I choose the correct size?
Measure the rider’s palm width and hand length, then compare both measurements with the size guide. Measurements are more reliable than choosing by age alone.
Are these full-finger gloves?
Yes. The long-finger design provides coverage across the palm, back of the hand and fingers.
How are these different from the Long Finger Tech Gloves?
Both options include a padded GO-SHOCK™ palm and flexible upper. The Hard Knuckle Gloves add a hard, carbon-look protector across the knuckles for additional coverage.
