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.
LS2’s wallet friendly flip front lid has been blessed with four new colourways, including the eye catching ‘Code’ design that’s available in uber-bright yellow or red. Weighing in at just 1650g, it has a drop-down sunshade and comes in sizes XS to 3XL.
If you know about the frustration that comes with trying to get a socket on a hard-to-reach fastener, then this set of adaptors could be right up your street. Designed to be used with a six-point ratchet spanner, it includes ¼, 3/8 and ½ drives.
Protect the vulnerable rear shock and suspension linkage on your Africa Twin with this combined hugger and chain guard from UK based Pyramid. Manufactured from textured ABS for an OE factory finish and supplied with all necessary fixings.
Italian firm Eleveit have added yet another new boot to their 2025 line up, the Venom. Aimed at touring riders, they’re fully waterproof with welded rubber reinforcements for abrasion resistance and should be comfy both on and off the bike.
A simple solution to a common problem, these lightweight neoprene sleeves slip over your grips to soak up unwanted vibrations and provide a more comfortable ride. They can be easily trimmed to fit most bikes and might even smarten things up too.
Offering five heat settings and a maximum operating temperature of over 80°, these compact grips should be perfect for keeping your mitts toasty when the mercury drops. Control is via a thumb operated button with LED indicator, and a built-in management system protects your battery from going flat.
It boggles the mind to think how much bodywork R&G’s bobbins have likely saved over the years, but they’ve just released a new tapered range, so long may that continue. Available for frame, fork and swingarm fitment, the APEX has a clean, contemporary look and will be available in either black or white.
Available in three flavours, Commuter, Touring and Race, the latest versions of Oxford’s reusable earplugs allow you to choose the level of sound you wish to block out. The SNR (Sound Noise Reduction) ranges from 18 to 28 dB, plus they come with a handy holder and connector cord so you don’t lose them.
Topping out the range of HJC’s premium modular helmets is the all-new carbon fibre composite shelled RPHA 91. It’s brimming with all the latest sports touring creature comforts, such as a low-noise interior, multi-step drop-down sunshield and provision for integrated comms. Available in four shell sizes, from XS to XXL.
Three new casual style riding boots have been released by footwear giant Sidi, headed by the moccasin inspired Urbex. Available in Grey or Burgundy, it’s fully waterproof and includes D3O protection. The sole is designed for comfort both on and off the bike, and a traditional lace closure ensures they stay put.
