Shoei Qwest helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Steve Rose for 3000miles RRP: £369.99 Shoei’s replacement for its much loved Raid has been around a couple of years now. The Raid was one of my all time favourite helmets; comfy, quiet, efficient and very affordable. The Qwest does all the above but includes some of the developments trickling down from other…

Reviewed by: Carli Ann Smith RRP: £7.99 (10 x sachets) These handy wipes are great should you need to clean your helmet and visor on the go. I keep a sachet in my jacket pocket and use it when I stop off for a cup of tea on my weekend jaunt. Simply wipe the wet…

Richa X-Street Waterproof shoes review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 1500miles RRP: £119.99 I got these boots specifically for a couple of recent cruiser launches. I’ve always liked the look of them, but lacked the purpose to get some in to test. They arrived just in time for my first trip out to the States and I was pleasantly surprised…

Richa Cloud Jacket review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Carli Ann Smith RRP: £159.99 The Cloud jacket combines everything I look for in my motorcycle clothing: a good fit, a stylish but not overtly ‘girly’ look and a high standard of protection given by strategically placed CE approved armour at the shoulders, elbows and back.

by
Reviewed by: Neil Manson RRP: £299 I had my reservations about this lid when I first got it: The styling is unusual and it was to be the first time I’d worn a motorcycle helmet with a detachable chin guard. However, since using it for the past year it has grown on me significantly for…

Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 10,000miles RRP: Jacket £279.99 / Trousers £229.99 This suit combo’s been the backbone of my riding gear over the last two years.

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…

by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson RRP: Pro Shirt £189 / Pro Pants £159 I’ve only owned this kit a few months, but I’m already a big fan of the product. I’m not one for skimping on protection and with this stuff I feel super safe. The main purpose for getting the kit was to keep me…
