Uh, no. Moto gloves are much thicker and don't have snot/brow wipe material on the thumb. It's really sweaty in the South and moto gloves are ok on a moto, but thin mtb gloves with terry cloth on the thumb are way better on the mountain bike. However I do love moto gloves for dirt jumping where I am frequently using a shovel while riding.
Not that I've found, comparing the gloves side by side for year. You "can" find moto gloves that are much thicker, but I've always been able to find ample supplies of ones that are the same. They grip about the same size bar BTW. Plus, these are more expensive and don't have a nose-wiping pad:
You don't like their clipless pedals?? I'm finding their Mallet pedals pretty good... have E's and DH's. Their Highline dropper post is pretty good too. No complaints about mine.
Whoops, super tired when I wrote that.
Suits you Sir?
Isn't this just another what's wrong with the industry thread?
I forgot about that thread. I blame lack of sleep and long work day.
Catching them in our mouths swirling a bit of our flem in with that lovely wretchy sound and launching them right back at you while BOOSTING past is next level.
Gimmick is lightweight for piss poor reliability. Much of their stuff has been gimmicky as heck and sucked balls, their wheels, their cranks (and their name has the word “Crank” in it!), etc.
Uh, BTW I do know since I've had a few motos. I wasn't referring to palm thickness. I was referring to weight of the material. In average, moto gloves have roost protection on the fingers and some kind of across the top of the hand. It's almost always rubber and in 90 degree/humidity that just doesn't breath during an mtb ride. Yep, there are offerings that don't have rubber roost protection. I know this (BTW) because I bought them for when I rode moto, on my motorcycle. Still thicker and less breathable than the thin MTB offerings.

Training accessories have become huge in recent years. Find a few instagram trainers and you will see them training with stuff that makes Southpark penis bike look reasonable so I'm not surprised this was released.
People are wimps, when it gets just a little cold or rainy, they'd rather be inside watching a TV on a "trainer" so they can check their phone and shit. When it's like this, I may not be able to ride the mountain bike trails, but I can definitely ride the bike paths and still have fun, if I spend that money on clothes that I'll actually use.
There is a gofundme campaign for Jared Graves, set up by his wife and two others to deal with the income shortage due to his cancer.
That's the least I'd expect from them, and for that matter it's just a corporate tip. It doesn't change the fact their bikes are overpriced for what they offer, as with many other now fashionable brands. Call me when your currency exchange rate to USD is 40:1 and rising and you still want to donate some money.
I didn't say that no one has made them, just that no one has made them as well as non-inverted singlecrowns. Structurally, it's a much less efficient design that requires far more weight or exotic engineering to approach the strength and stiffness-to-weight of a non-inverted design (torsional and lateral being the big issues), both of which if applied to a non-inverted design would make it far superior. Basically no point. Gimmick.
