In keeping with the current weather, KinetiXx is launching two new gloves for particularly hot days: the Ledri short-finger model is aimed at road cyclists, whilst the Lajos long-finger glove is designed for mountain and gravel bike riders.
Cycling is arguably one of the most popular sports in these sweltering temperatures. After all, when you’re cycling, the breeze acts as your very own air conditioning. Sometimes, though, even cycling can make the sweat break out on your forehead – and on your hands. To ensure that active cyclists always have a firm grip on their bikes, two new glove models from KinetiXx are designed to provide good ventilation for dry hands and a constant grip on the handlebars: the super-thin model, aimed primarily at drop-bar cyclists, Ledri short-fingered gloves, as well as the sporty, highly breathable Lajos Summer Model for Thieves, which is aimed primarily at mountain bike and gravel bike enthusiasts.
Ledri: Light and airy
The ultra-lightweight Ledri summer cycling glove features a highly breathable mesh material on the back of the hand. This comfortable ventilation is said to be particularly beneficial in high temperatures or on physically demanding routes. It is also said to stand out thanks to its high level of comfort and ergonomic cut extending over the knuckles. Thanks to this fit, there is no need for a Velcro fastening at all. An integrated pull-on and pull-off aid also ensures easy handling.
The palm is made from high-quality, soft and non-slip micro suede. This breathable material is also perforated to keep your hands dry. Another bonus for uneven terrain is the lightweight foam cushioning, which noticeably absorbs shocks.

Lajos: Full control and protection
For all mountain bikers and gravel enthusiasts who prefer off-road riding and don’t want to go without long-fingered cycling gloves even in summer to protect against injury, KinetiXx presents the sporty Lajos. The breathable mesh upper is designed to be particularly sturdy and hard-wearing, whilst also offering a high degree of breathability. Perforations on the palm ensure good ventilation, and the fit is designed to be particularly ergonomic.
The glove is deliberately cut slightly longer at the wrist, and the palm is unpadded. The soft micro-suede material, combined with silicone printing on the fingers, is designed to provide a good grip. The model also features a handy touchscreen function for operating mobile devices.
