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.
Chunky indicators can often look out of place on retro, classic or custom rides, however these road legal replacements from Oxford should give you a more subtle rear end. E-marked and fully waterproof, with amber lenses and bright LEDs.
An updated version of Dainese's race boots, the Torque 4 claims to offer enhanced protection with their D-Axial system, which is designed to protect the malleolus from twisting and crushing on impact. They’re also available with a perforated upper for additional ventilation.
The Dragon is LS2's latest premium lid, made from high-grade 6k twill-weave carbon fibre. Available in three shell sizes, it's claimed to be aerodynamically optimised to help with stability at speed, and features an optically correct A-class visor, with Pinlock included, and a quick release visor system.
Pyramid moto now offer a twin-guard for Triumph's Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X bikes. Made from high-impact ABS plastic, the set protects the rear suspension components from road crud, and stops the chain from flinging water or freshly applied chain lube all over your backside.
Part of a new range of sports-focused kit from Richa, the Stradale jacket is constructed from 1.3mm cowhide and comes with D3O shoulder and elbow armour. Matching trousers (£249.99) and a one-piece race suit (£599.99) are also available.
If you find the average top box lacking in load space, then the new 55 litre DUSC-XL may be just what you’re looking for. Formed from 3mm ABS and reinforced with an aluminium frame, it’s fully waterproof and is capacious enough for two full face XL helmets.
Bringing track honed tech from racer to road rider, SHARK’s new Aeron is essentially their FIM homologated helmet minus the adaptive aero. Features include a full carbon shell, Optical Class 1 quick release visor and a high flow ventilation system.
It’s mad to think that Knox’s exo-skeleton equipped sports glove has been with us for 15 years now, but they’ve marked the occasion by releasing 400 pairs of this limited-edition colourway. Details include white stainless-steel BOA lacing and a unique printed number.
Now with CE AA certification and level 2 shoulder and elbow armour, Oxford’s wax riding jacket melds classic looks with modern protection. A breathable and waterproof lining keeps you dry, and it has a detachable thermal liner just ready to remove for summer.
With a water repellent outer and Reissa waterproof lining, the Mason jean could be the ideal choice for a typically British summer. CE certification is AAA, and they pack D3O protectors for hip and knee. Available in blue or black and sizes from 30 to 42.
