General Performance Features - probiker JAKUTSK Instructions For Use Manual

1.2 | General performance features

The gloves were tested in accordance with the European standard
EN 13594:2015.
EN 13594:2015 specifies two performance classes in respect of the
protection provided. These two performance classes have been defined
in order to introduce certified protection for as many motorcycle riders
as possible. The degree of risk or danger to which a motorcycle rider is
exposed depends greatly on his/her riding style and the nature of any
accident.
"Performance class 1" is the minimum requirement that gloves must
meet in order to provide actual protection in the event of an accident.
"Performance class 1" gloves also have optimum ergonomics for all
riding styles. "Performance class 2" was introduced for cases where
motorcycle riders are at an increased accident risk on account of their
riding style. "Performance class 2" gloves give a higher degree of protec-
tion, but this can make them less ergonomic and therefore they are not
suitable for all motorcycle riders.
