Freewheel MTB XT Bike Glove

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I ride in the Freewheel XT Gloves for everything from tech climbs to fast descents. The silicone grip and stretch fit give me total bar feel, and the DuraPrint protection is no joke—these hold up after slides and scrub-outs without falling apart."

Engineered for high-performance trail riding and rugged terrain, the Freewheel MTB XT Bike Glove combines durability, dexterity, and breathability in one purpose-built package. Outdoor Research crafted this glove using bluesign®-approved stretch fabric that delivers abrasion resistance and mobility in equal measure, while DuraPrint™ overlays reinforce key areas prone to wear and impact.

The synthetic suede palm is highly breathable and perforated for ventilation, with silicone prints strategically placed to improve bar feel and control. The index finger is precurved to eliminate common failure points, while touchscreen compatibility allows mid-ride GPS checks or playlist changes without removing your gloves.

A hook-and-loop closure and snug cuff design keep the fit secure, even during aggressive cornering or long days in the saddle. Built to keep pace with technical descents, changing trail conditions, and sustained climbs, the Freewheel MTB XT Bike Glove is your grip-first, fail-last glove for every ride.
