Crosstown™ Urban Motorcycle Gloves

The Crosstown™ is an urban motorcycle glove built for the ride to work and the Australian summer. Air mesh on the back of the hand, genuine leather reinforcing the palm, a hard knuckle protector under a stretch panel, and the X on the cuff.

Independently tested to EN 13594:2015, Level 1 (KP), the European motorcycle glove standard NSW learner and provisional riders need.

Why we made it

Since 1 July 2026, NSW learner, P1 and P2 riders must wear motorcycle gloves made to EN 13594:2015. Go looking for one and the price climbs fast, and below that most listings don't say what standard a glove meets, if any.

So we built the glove we wanted to find: short, light and cool enough to wear every day, tested to the standard, at a price a first-time rider can manage. That's the Crosstown™.

Built for heat, built where it counts

A good summer glove puts the airflow on the back of the hand, where nothing touches the road, and the toughness on the palm, where everything does. The Crosstown™ is built exactly that way.

• Air mesh back. Polyester micro mesh across the back of the hand, fingers and thumb, so air moves through at riding speed.
• Hard knuckle protector. A rigid PVC shell over 4 mm foam, under a four-way stretch panel, so your hand still closes naturally around the bar.
• Leather-reinforced palm. Synthetic suede palm with a genuine cow leather reinforcement patch and side reinforcement, over 6 mm padding, where you land first.
• Padded fingers. Leather accordion panels over 4 mm padding on the fingers and thumb.
• Accordion back. Stretch accordion panels for flex through the knuckles and wrist.
• Breathable fourchettes between the fingers.
• Touchscreen index fingertip, so you can use your phone at the lights.
• Short cuff, hook-and-loop strap. Sits at the wrist, under or over a jacket sleeve, quick on and off.
• The X. The Motrox X on the back of the cuff. Looks as good off the bike as on it.

The standard, and the label

The Crosstown™ is independently tested to EN 13594:2015, Level 1, KP. "KP" means the knuckle protector was tested too.

Every pair carries a permanent label on the glove showing the motorcyclist symbol, EN 13594:2015, Level 1 and KP. That label is what NSW Police check for on L and P plate riders. More on the rule: NSW Motorcycle Glove Requirements.
