    Overview It kind of all started with 1993’s ‘The Big-1’. Powered by a CBR1000 motor, the name was (thankfully) soon dropped, as the rumour was that ‘Big- 1’ was a registered trademark of an American brand of toilet cleaner… Despite the fact that the renamed ‘Super Four’ failed to shift in big numbers in the…

    Waterproof and warm is the key for happy winter riding feet. There are plenty of waterproof boots on the market now that feature a Gore-Tex inner lining and decent levels of protection (normally the same as most midrange race boots offer). Styles vary, but the range from traditional touring to sportier looking. Some boots that…

    Riding with a misted-up or badly scratched visor is never pleasant. Colder weather make the inside of your visor much more likely to steam up – you can open your chin vents to help but your eyes will suffer a cold blast. Rain can also reduce visibility if your visor isn’t treated with a water-beading…

    A decent textile jacket/trouser combo is essential. Leathers don’t provide as much warmth, aren’t waterproof and you can’t wear your office clothes underneath them. A good set can be pricey, but look on them as an investment: they’ll last you many years if looked after and you can rewaterproof them with readily available sprays each…

    Arguably one of the most, if not the most important bit of winter riding kit. If your fingers are frozen, wet and you can’t feel anything, you can’t operate your bike’s controls safely. Winter gloves need to be waterproof, warm, not too thick and still offer good levels of impact and abrasion protection as well…

    Some riders never ride without one, even in summer, and not wearing one in winter is just plain mad. Neck tubes not only keep draughts and rain out of your jacket, they can also reduce the amount of noise getting into your helmet. Aside from standard tubes, there are ones specifically designed for winter use.…

    Base layers are a must. Simply layering Tshirts and jumpers under a jacket won’t keep you as warm and can be too bulky, restricting movement. The best option is a technical thermal base layer: these work by having a multi-layer construction, with the top layer designed to keep the cold out and the rest of…
