Built for Performance Since 2009

Arc-On began in 2009 with a clear focus on high-performance motorcycle gear. From the start, the brand concentrated on designing and manufacturing premium racewear, with a strong emphasis on innovation, safety and rider performance. Over the years, Arc-On developed a reputation for producing technically advanced gear tailored for serious riders.

Early Innovation and Recognition

Arc-On quickly stood out in the racing world thanks to its willingness to push boundaries. The brand was among the first to integrate advanced body armour materials into gloves, improving protection without sacrificing comfort. Their commitment to quality and performance earned industry recognition, including “Best Buy” awards from leading motorcycle publications.

A Focus on Gloves and Technical Excellence

As the brand evolved, Arc-On refined its direction and focused specifically on motorcycle gloves. This allowed them to specialise deeply, investing years into developing race gloves that combine comfort, protection and control. Their designs incorporate advanced materials such as abrasion-resistant textiles, impact-absorbing armour and high-performance leather to meet the demands of track riding.

Innovation Through Material Technology

Arc-On continues to lead through material innovation. They introduced advanced textile armour linings that offer high resistance to abrasion, puncture and tearing while remaining lightweight and breathable. Combined with adaptive impact protection systems, these materials allow gloves to deliver serious safety while maintaining flexibility and feel.

Proven on Track and Trusted by Riders

Arc-On gloves are developed in collaboration with professional riders and tested in real racing environments. Their products are used in competitive series such as British Superbike and endurance racing, reinforcing the brand’s focus on real-world performance and reliability.
