Shoei GT Air Wanderer TC-5 helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Carli Ann Smith RRP: £469.99 This is my new lid from Shoei – the GT Air. It’s the first in the manufacturer’s range to feature an integrated sunvisor which offers 99% UV protection. Often with this ‘integrated’ items, they are a pain to try and open/close/move with your gloves on – but not…

KTM Performance Jacket review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson RRP: £89.92 I picked this jacket up mid-January. The weather was pants, so its usage was relentless. And it’s still getting a hammering six months on. I love it. Without a doubt, my favourite jacket of now. It’s super light in weight, looks fantastic and does a good job of keeping…

BMW Function 3 Rucksack review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 2000 miles RRP: £105 It’s rare I go a day without lugging a rucksack around, which explains why I’ve got through so many over the years. But none of them have proved quite as well thought out as BMW’s Function 3. When I first got the bag, I had no idea of…

Goodridge Braided Brake Lines review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Nigel Hole RRP: Front standard brake lines (three lines) – £82.76 Rear standard brake line (one line) – £27.59 It’s hard to describe what a difference a set of braided hoses does for your motorcycle until you’ve tried them. My 1991 Honda CBR600FM was an aged girl when I bought her off an internet auction…

Arai RX-7GP Takahashi helmet review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 20,000+ miles RRP: 699.99 To be honest, I got this helmet more based on its looks than its specs. I’ve worn Arais for the past six years and never once have I questioned their performance. Maybe the visor changing system isn’t the smoothest of operations, but that aside, they really are awesome…

Hagon Z550 Shocks quick review
Posted
by
RRP: £205.50 I got these shocks for my Z550 project bike. The originals were beyond repair and these were an affordable alternative. They were straightforward to mount and have performed well on test. Despite lacking any real adjustability, they damp well and have transformed the bike’s handling. More info: www.hagon-shocks.co.uk

Rev’It Air Jacket review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson RRP: £119.99 I really rate this jacket. To be honest, I don’t get to wear it that much in the UK, but on the odd occasion when the weather perks up, there’s nothing better for keeping you cool, comfortable and feeling safe. I’ve probably used it more off- road than on Tarmac,…

Forcefield Limb Tube Knee Protectors review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Tony Carter for 2000 miles RRP: £54.9 I don’t know about you, but I quite like wearing bike jeans and a jacket when the weather’s decent. And as great as bike jeans are, they’re often made uncomfortable by poor fitting knee armour, which is why I invested in Forcefield’s Limb Tube Knee Protectors. They’re a fantastic…

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…
