RIVAL Boxing RB1 2.0 Ultra Bag Gloves for Adults - Durable Microfiber, High-density Foam, Breathable Mesh Palm

From the Brand: A Journey of Innovation and Excellence

The Beginning
Established in 2003 by the seasoned boxing trainer and cutman, Russ Anber, RIVAL emerged into the boxing marketplace with a bold commitment to "reinvent the industry." Drawing from over 25 years of experience in boxing, including 13 years dedicated to introducing and marketing international boxing brands in Canada, Russ infused the company with innovative ideas that set the stage for its success.

The Evolution
RIVAL's success story is defined by the exceptional quality and longevity of its products. Remarkably, this achievement has been realized without mimicking or infringing upon anyone’s intellectual property. Since its inception, every premium product launched by RIVAL has stemmed from original concepts and distinctive, groundbreaking designs.

RIVAL in the Ring: Part 1
The roster of fighters who have donned RIVAL's extensive selection of gloves, gear, and apparel is impressive. Among them is Jean Pascal, the former WBC World Light-Heavyweight Champion, who became the first boxer to wear RIVAL gloves in a World Championship fight aired on HBO. Other notable champions, such as Vasiliy Lomachenko and Eleider Beterbiev, have also chosen RIVAL equipment, underscoring the brand's stellar reputation among elite fighters.

RIVAL in the Ring: Part 2
A significant milestone in RIVAL's history occurred during the WBC eliminator match between Tony Bellew and Isaac Chilemba. This event marked the first occasion where two professional boxers faced off while fully outfitted in RIVAL gear and pro fight gloves on foreign soil. Another unforgettable moment was the contest between Oleksandr Usyk and Murat Gassiev, where both fighters showcased their skills in RIVAL gloves for the undisputed cruiserweight championship of the world.

Original RIVAL
Over the years, RIVAL has built a strong reputation as a forward-thinking, technology-driven, and design-focused company, challenging the norms of the boxing equipment industry. This influence has prompted many companies to redesign their products, adopting styles and innovations that mirror RIVAL’s accomplishments. A testament to RIVAL’s enduring legacy is the loyalty of its staff, many of whom have been with the company since 2003.

Visionary? Yes We Are!
Our Innovations Are Changing the Industry, and This Is Just the Beginning.
Ergo-Lace-Track System
To set a new standard in boxing glove design, we introduced the “Ergo Lace Track System.” Featuring X-Lace Tracks integrated into the cuff, this system ensures perfect lacing every time while eliminating lace burns. The 15° angled Lace Track at the wrist guarantees the best anatomical fit.

Wrist-Lock System
Our innovative “Wrist-Lock” strapping system provides superior wrist support and an ideal fit. The reversible strap allows for equal customization on both sides.

Intelli-Shock Technology
The patented d3o Intelligent Shock Absorption material utilizes Intelligent Molecules that flow freely at slower speeds, providing flexibility, then lock together at high speeds to absorb impact effectively. This material far surpasses conventional foams in terms of protection.

Ergo-Strap System
Our unique “Ergo Strap System,” designed at a 15° angle, aligns perfectly with the wrist, offering unparalleled anatomical fit. Available in both single and double strap styles.

Important Warning
Please note: these bag gloves are strictly for bag and punching mitt use and must never be used for sparring or hitting another person, as they feature hard, high-density foam padding not designed for such impacts.

New Generation RB1 Ultra Bag Gloves
As a Rival original, the RB1 remains indispensable even today. We’ve continuously honed this nearly perfect glove, introducing upgraded materials and ergonomic enhancements for comfort and protection. The new RB1 version boasts hyper-resistant microfiber and improved inner padding, while ergonomic adjustments allow for a deeper hand fit, facilitating the perfect fist formation.

The RB1 2.0 Ultra Bag Glove continues to embody RIVAL’s commitment to excellence, making it a top choice for novices and professionals alike. Whether you're training at a high level or just starting your journey in boxing, you can rely on RIVAL for quality and performance that stands the test of time.
