Innovation is always on the horizon in the motorcycling world, and that means there’s no shortage of new kit being released, but how can you keep track of everything when it’s moving so quickly?

We’ve scoured every corner of the motorcycle industry for all the newest kit releases, so you can stay up to date with the latest and greatest every week – right here, with MCN’s New Kit News.

New kit this week

Best known for their riding jeans, Brit-based Roadskin have just released a new version of their popular Easyrider hoodie designed specifically for the female figure. It may look casual, but safety is serious with a CE AA certification and level 2 armour for shoulders, elbows and back.
New to the race rep grid is this tribute to three times TT winner Dean Harrison, which adorns Shoei’s range topping sports helmet, the X-SPR. Barring a couple of sponsors, it’s identical to Dean’s current lid, with a fully customisable interior for a perfect fit.
Available with matching pants (£69.90) for a complete base layer system, Furygan’s 37.5 moisture wicking thermal gear is designed to regulate body temperature, thus keeping you dry and comfortable whatever the weather. In sizes XS to 2XL.
Replacing your own drive chain can save you a bundle, and this kit makes the job a doddle. Everything’s included to break your old worn chain and rivet a shiny new one together, with different sized punches and anvils to suit various applications.
The latest release from Italian bootmaker Eleveit is aimed firmly at the touring market, and the all season Antelao looks like it’ll hit the mark. Waterproof and breathable, it has a lightweight microfibre construction and easy to operate micrometric closure at the back.

Last week’s releases

A new entry at the top of Keis’ comprehensive range of heated kit, the goatskin G901 Extreme gloves have a sportier, more flexible design than previous models. They’re waterproof, breathable and insulated, with a heating element that includes fingertips as well as the back of the hand.
Whether you’re in the shed for a tinker with your toys or on kitchen duty prepping a slap-up meal, this hard-wearing apron is just the thing to prevent oil and grease from getting on your threads. It has five pockets on the front for a quick draw on tools, and adjustable straps for the perfect fit.
You can still look cool when it’s cold out with this latest addition to Brit brand Merlin’s Heritage collection. It’s fully insulated to keep the warmth in and has a water repellent outer so that pesky raindrops bead up and roll off. CE AA certified, with low profile D3O shoulder and elbow armour.
One of the best looking tie-ins from HJC’s Disney series, this colourful graphic features the cute alien exile from Lilo and Stitch. It adorns the i71, a lightweight sports touring helmet with a polycarbonate shell, drop down sun shade and quick release visor. It comes in 3 shell sizes, covering XS to XXL.
Price: $38.44
Everyone has an adjustable spanner in their toolkit, but it can often be difficult to get a precise purchase, especially on a worn fastener. This clever bit of kit incorporates a locking mechanism to ensure it attaches securely, so you can confidently employ elbow grease without further damage.
