Sprint Motorcycle Gloves
78 'Sprint'
The 2nd glove deign in our street series, the 78 ‘Sprint’ gloves designed for the urban Café Racer and classic lover. A glove that provides the toughness of a motorcycle glove with the style, feel and comfort of a high-end fashion glove. The Sprint is befitting of today’s modern vintage motorcyclist who demand gloves to compliment their unique individual style yet offer the quality, comfort and style 78 have become renowned for.
78 travelled to Scandinavia to source the finest natural aniline leathers. Hues inspired by vintage British cars from Dune yellow to Signal red each with their own unique patina and vintage feel. Every pair is cut and crafted by hand utilising the latest stitch techniques to ensure strength should the going get tough. Every pair designed to age and mature with its owner for a perfect personal fit.
The Sprint design consists of 15 CAD designed panels offering a 2nd skin like fit to ensure every aspect of road information is felt through the bars. Sprint features perforated fingers and upper panels to increase airflow yet is padded and lined with satin to keep riders rolling through until autumn. Fully articulated knuckles ensure minimal tension operating the levers and the double-layered padded stitched palm offers abrasion protection without removing feel. Our unique silicone buddy tabs are carried over from the Speed glove providing a simple way to keep your gloves together while offering further protection to the exposed scaphoid common on short glove designs.

I first started riding motorcycles back in 1994, on a RG125 and then in 1996 I stopped. My riding gear then was pretty awful truth be told. Then I met my soon to be wife at University. Over 20 years passed and around 2015 as a 40+ Gen Xer I decided to start riding again. I had zero gear but had a passion for the classic and stumbled across the 78 Sprints. At the time I was an owner of a 1978 Corvette hillclimb/sprint car called ‘Lemmy’ (even my IG handle is @78_outlaw) and so fair to say the 78 ‘Sprint’ glove was a perfect match. My Sprints were there through my CBT, my Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests, when I went down after getting a cone stuck under my front tyre during a speed test, the glove’s palm held up, there riding in the Highlands of Scotland, the passes of the Lake District, up to Mt Tiede in Tenerife, Alicante hills, Italian and Swiss mountains, now 12 bikes later and they are still my go-to glove: cruisers, muscle bikes, classics and super nakeds, the leather has softened, the grain wears a few more scars (like the owner) but the gloves are perfect, with fantastic stitching, very comfortable and timeless, my ride or die!!
These gloves are superb, beautiful leather with wonderful styling delivered on time and wrapped perfectly. These are my second pair of these gloves, my original pair are still in perfect condition I just fancied a different colour.
I now have two pairs of 78 MC gloves and the Havana Tan Sprint pair are my latest. They are beautifully made, extremely comfortable and stylish. You can tell right from the off, that they are of a superior quality and will be equally hard wearing. A great purchase.
Won't ride with any other gloves
Perfect, thanks
