HJC R-PHA Max helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Wayne Tempest for 2000miles RRP: £359 I was very impressed with the long list of specifications that the HJC R-PHA Max boasted, and was eager to see whether it lived up to my expectations. HJC claim that it has a very strong, but lightweight shell due to its carbon fibre, Aramid and glass…

Schuberth SR1 quick review
Posted
by
RRP: £649.99 I’m new to Schuberth, but already I’m a big fan. I got this SR1 a few months back and have enjoyed its quality feel and great fit for a good few hundred miles to date. The ventilation is top notch and the visor mechanism is really easy to work. It’s noisy, but what else…

Knox K-Pack Rucksack review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson RRP: £49.99 This rucksack’s fit for purpose. In the few months that I’ve known it, it’s proven itself to be a great motorcycling companion, but the love stops the minute I dismount. Sounds crazy, but all the features that make this bag suitable for motorcycling in my opinion, work against it…

RST One-Piece leathers review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Malc Wheeler RRP: £399.99 RST has built an enviable reputation for making a product that is the match for much more expensive lines and being able to sell at an affordable price. Just £399.99 for a leather suit of this quality has to be a bargain. Made from 1.1 to 1.2mm cowhide, the suit is double…

TCX X-Street Waterproof boots review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Malc Wheeler for 2000 miles RRP: £89 What a great idea these TCX boots are. They look like normal, everyday, baseball boots and yet they offer far more protection than you would get from your normal trainers. And they are waterproof. Honest, they really are. Mine have just ‘enjoyed’ a week at the Manx Grand…

Shoei XR1100 review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 50,000 miles RRP: £419.99 It’s my favourite helmet right now because it fits me the best and stays comfier for longer. The lining is still snug, all the vents still work (it’s like switching on the air-con when you flick ’em open) and the visor seal is still perfect after 50,000 miles. Shoei claims it’s…

Harley-Davidson FXRG Textile suit review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Malc Wheeler for 10,000+ miles RRP: £807 This could be a very short feature. The Harley-Davidson FXRG textile two-piece is, without doubt, the finest all weather riding gear I have ever used. There I’ve said it. It arrived in 2008, along with the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra that was my long-term test bike…

Arai Viper GT helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 80,000 miles By rights, this helmet should have been retired a long time ago. Four years old and with somewhere around 80,000 miles covered, you can see by the scuffs and scrapes that it hasn’t had an easy life. But the thing is, I can’t stop wearing it. This Viper GT…

BMW Streetguard suit review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 8000 miles RRP: Jacket £630/trousers £495 Yes, it’s expensive and yes, as you’d expect from BMW it’s made from all manner of high tech materials that keep you warm in winter and cool in summer with a bamboozling spec that means little to any of us, other than posting the question……

Richa Moscow heated glove review
Posted
by
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…
