Arai X-Tend helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Marc Wheeler for 6000 miles RRP: £349.99 Cards on the table, I’ve long been an Arai man and I’ve also had several of the brand’s jet style SZ range, doing many thousands of miles in them over the years. So when the X-tend was launched at last year’s Milan show I had to…

Posted
by
Reviewed by: Dave Bell RRP: £314.99 I’ve fallen for this helmet; the fit is fantastic, the styling superb and the quality top spec. This lightweight helmet has numerous features including the Pinlock Maxivision system. This is my first encounter with Pinlock and I must say I am very impressed by it. The Speedview no-fog internal…

by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 15,000 miles RRP: £104.99 I’m a crasher. Always have been and probably always will be. Which is why I need good quality kit that I can depend on, like Forcefield’s L2 Back Protector. Call me tight, but I’ve had this protector for more than four years now. And I definitely…

by
Reviewed by: Steff Woodhouse for 3 1⁄2 years RRP: £295 There are things in life that are just great, and the Karcher pressure washer is one of them, I have had the K4 model pictured for many years and to say it has been used is an under statement. On average I guess these machines are designed…

Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 2000miles RRP: £229 If there’s one thing I hate, it’s an ill-fitting glove.

Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 2000miles RRP: £249 Gimmicks. The world’s full of them.

Reviewed by: Tony Carter for 1500 miles RRP: £169.99 I’m no wimp, but every year my hands suffer when the weather gets cold – especially when I’m out on a big ride. I got these gloves just in time for the start of this past winter. I’ve dabbled with heated gloves before but I’ve never found a…

Motomod Assen Jacket review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 100,000miles RRP: £199 I can’t believe I’m still wearing this. The carbon panels look as naff today as they did in 1999 when I first got it. But the fact is that no other jacket has yet come close to being as comfy or easy to use. It’s the attention to…

BMW Motorrad sunglasses review

Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson RRP: £72 These are awesome. I’m of a forgetful nature and I have to hold my hands up to having been caught out by nightfall on quite a few occasions in the past. In the summer, the last thing you think about is carrying a spare clear visor everywhere you go, but…
