Although J certified (for jet/open face) under ECE 22.06 homologation, Schuberth’s testing has shown the J2’s minimal chin bar can withstand the same frontal impact as a full face lid. Key features are small overall size, light weight and low noise, plus it comes pre-fitted with speakers, wiring harness and a microphone for an intercom system.

Billed as ‘Twenty Travellers’ Tales from the most Diverse Continent on Earth’, this collection of inspirational stories captures the essence of exploring the world by motorcycle.

The latest version of Daytona’s popular heated hand warmers features an integrated control switch to the left-hand grip, doing away with a bulky separate unit.
