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

Promising 100% waterproofing for your kit and kaboodle, this 20-litre duffel bag has a seamless PVC shell with heat sealed stitching. A roll top closure with air release system allows for compact packing, and the soft construction keeps it flexible. It attaches with a universal four point system that should fit almost any bike.
Flip front adventure helmets offer the best of all worlds for tarmac touring, and HJC’s latest modular should be right on the money. It’s certified for riding with the chin bar open or closed and has a drop down sunshade for changeable conditions. The peak has been wind tunnel tested to reduce drag.
Offering exceptional value for money, this lightweight CE AA certified jacket looks to tick all the boxes. Top spec features include level 1 elbow and shoulder armour, a waterproof membrane, removable thermal liner and extensive ventilation ports. Matching pants are available at £129.99.
SHARK has teamed up with comms specialists SENA to produce a range of intercoms for the French helmet firm’s ECE 22.06 range of lids. Available as Mesh, allowing up to 24 riders, or a four person Bluetooth system, they can be purchased in single or duo packs and customised via the SHARK app.
Explore your world both on and off the bike in these versatile adventure boots. Constructed from microfibre, they have a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofing and breathability, plus a heavily treaded ‘Ultratac’ sole for stability and grip. Closure is laces and they have D3O inserts for protection.

Last week’s releases

Combining the livery of 2024 MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin, ECE 22.06 certification and FIM homologation, this version of Alpinestars’ top line lid is about as close as it gets to lining up on the grid as the Martinator.
Motorcycles are rife with nooks and crannies, just waiting to swallow a dropped fastener, split pin or washer. This handy device packs a powerful magnet, four claw grabber and integral LED light to help you retrieve those missing bits.
Add a touch of luxury and plushness to your new GS with these ergonomic seats from accessory specialists Touratech. They’re plug and play, with an integral heating system that is laminated into the base for maximum effect.
Designed for younger pillion riders, this all new hoodie is CE AA certified for abrasion resistance and comes with armour for shoulders, elbows and back. The outer is an Aramid lined heavy duty cotton fleece, and it’s available in sizes XS to XL.
Perfect for cold, wet weather at any time of year, this over jacket has a waterproof shell to keep you dry and a thermal lining for warmth. Matching trousers are also available (£59.99) and both pack down small for easy stashing.
