Alpinestars GP Pro R4 Motorcycle Riding Gloves

Alpinestars GP Pro R4 Motorcycle Riding Gloves

The Alpinestars GP Pro R4 is the most protection-focused glove in the Alpinestars lineup at Himi Leathers. It is built specifically for riders who research what goes into their gear and want the highest level of knuckle protection available in a full-grain leather motorcycle riding glove. The GP Pro R4 delivers that through carbon fibre knuckle protection, a high-grip throttle surface, and a pre-curved racing fit that keeps you in full control at any speed.

This is not a glove for casual riders. The GP Pro R4 is designed for track day regulars, sportbike riders, and performance-focused street riders who push hard and need gear that keeps up. Every detail in the construction reflects that intent, from the carbon fibre armour to the reinforced palm zones built to handle real impact forces.

Key Features

• Carbon Fibre Knuckle Protection: The defining feature of the GP Pro R4. Carbon fibre is lighter than hard-shell plastic and distributes impact force more efficiently across the knuckle surface. For riders who want the best available knuckle protection, this is the material that delivers it.
• Premium Full-Grain Leather Construction: Durable, flexible, and abrasion-resistant. Built for high-performance riding and long-term use through regular track and street sessions.
• High-Grip Surface for Throttle Control: Textured grip zone on the palm improves feel and responsiveness on the throttle and brake lever. A feature that makes a real difference at speed.
• Reinforced Palm and Finger Zones: Enhanced abrasion resistance and grip in the areas that take the most stress during aggressive riding or a fall.
• Pre-Curved Finger Design: Keeps your fingers in a natural riding position from the first ride, reducing fatigue and improving throttle feel on long stints.
• Secure Wrist Closure System: Tight, locked-in fit that stays stable at any speed without shifting or loosening.
• Breathable Perforated Panels: Improves airflow during intense riding sessions, keeping your hands comfortable without compromising protection.

Why Carbon Fibre Knuckle Protection Matters?

Most motorcycle riding gloves use hard-shell plastic for knuckle protection. The GP Pro R4 uses carbon fibre. The difference is meaningful for serious riders. Carbon fibre is significantly lighter for the same level of impact resistance, and it spreads force more evenly across the knuckle during an impact rather than concentrating it at a single point. It also holds its shape and protective properties through repeated use better than plastic, which can crack or deform over time. For track riders and aggressive street riders who prioritise protection without adding weight or bulk, carbon fibre is the better choice.

Who the GP Pro R4 Is Built For?

The GP Pro R4 suits riders who have done their research and specifically want carbon fibre knuckle protection in a full-grain leather glove. Track day regulars, sportbike riders, and performance street riders who ride hard and want gear that genuinely matches that level will find the GP Pro R4 delivers exactly what they are looking for. The high-grip throttle surface and pre-curved fit add to the performance package, making this the most capable motorcycle riding glove in the collection.
