after the first ride on my duke125 (20 km) occurred before the first signs of wear. The gloves are comfortable to wear and also well ventilated palms hold just not much. Here the fabric rubs on. These commitments would, of course these are very rough, the handles of KTM also. So if you have smooth or foam grips will keep you safe longer the gloves. My how I fear not even experience the 1000km service.
