‘Slice’ is one of the titles to be released from RST for the new 2012 range, with leathers, textiles and gloves – it is sure to be an acclaimed name for motorbike gear. The RST Slice Gloves are incredibly stylish, available in black, blue, red, white, green, you’ll find any pair to match your outfit.
With the word ‘slice’ placed on the index finger,the visible carbon fibre knuckles, visible finger joint protection and the silicon power grip on the palm and fingers, this really does make for a sharp and slick glove which has all the features to protect your hand skillfully.
With a double wrist and cuff closure these gloves really do fit..like a glove? Cheesy I know. But when trying the gloves on at the preview we had for the new RST range, the name of Slice instantly appealed and the gloves fit perfectly. The manufacturer understanding the uniqe shape of everyones hand and allowing the material to mould (the pre curved fingers providing a great support).
At JUST £49.99 this is a bargain price for gloves constructed from grade A analine cowhide with bonded nylon stitching. The renown name of RST branded on the glove, sure to never let you down. Just ask many of the Superbike riders who entrust their faith daily in this admirable attire.
Now if you’re the type of person who is careful with their money and want a product which is realistically going to last you all year, then look no further than the RST Ventilator III Jacket and the RST Ventilator III Jean. Incredibly versatile and just £159.99 for the jacket, and £119.99 for the jeans, this is just another piece of evidence that RST are seriously recession friendly for 2012!
The jacket can be altered to suit winter, summer and that ‘inbetween weather’ riding, with a removable waterproof lining and a removable thermal quilt lining. So if the weather’s hot you can just wear the fully armoured (shoulder, elbows and back) outer jacket, if the weather’s wet add the inner lining to create a windproof/waterproof jacket, or the weather’s cold, add the quilted lining to provide maximum warmth. Finally wear all three layers together when the weather really turns against you. Not forgetting the jeans which also have the removable waterproof and thermal lining with adjustable armour in the knees.
As you can see, this really is a all 4-season riding combination. With reflective panels, heavy duty zips (including zips to attach the jacket to the jeans) these textiles are revolutionary. A guranteed durable jacket and jean to last you all year round, you can choose whether to purchase one or both.
I advise pre-ordering as last years RST Ventilator II jacket flew off the shelves, and with the added features and growing uncertainty of the weather (especially in the UK) – no matter what the climate, your jacket and jeans are guaranteed to keep you at optimum temperature..and temperament.
I’ve wrote to you regarding the new RST range (though i was sworn to silence not to give too much away) but now the time has come where I can offically start introducing the 2012 line of RST clothing, and I’m certain you’re going to be more than happy with it!
And the first garment which seemed a faultless way to begin the coverage of RST products would have to be the clear favourite in the office..the new RST Pro Series Adventure Jacket – available in either a sand or a black/gun colourway.
This really is a seriously versatile jacket, ready for any climate and ‘adventure’ you may find yourself in/on! Wear this jacket with or without sleeves, with mesh panelling opened or closed, with or without the quilted lining and with or without the waterproof lining – incredibly versatile as you can see! Even including a hydration pocket for the serious trekkers out there.
Maufactured from premium materials for each layer and addition, there is also RST Contour Plus CE approved armour to shoulders and elbows and a RST Contour Plus CE back protector as well. With scotchlite reflex panels and piping you are protected from accidents and road users, as well as all the elements imaginable. With a 360 heavy duty connection zip to attach to the trousers and not forgetting the removable rear map pocket (because you guys hate to ask for directions..) for those times when you just need to ‘check’ exactly where you are.
And here’s the best part..this jacket costs just £199. Now I really do challenge you to find a jacket out there as versatile and as strong as this one for under £200. A serious bargain and at the top end of the new RST textile jackets, their prices are guaranteed to be..well..quite frankly, unbelievable.
Hornee Jeans originated from Australia with their popularity over there phenomenal, so it seemed only right that the UK see what all the fuss was about. And it is safe to say, that these kevlar motorcycle trousers have quickly become a household name over here too.
Kevlar is an extremely strong protective material that derives its strength from its weave. Unlike other brands of kevlar jeans which have knitted kelvar panelling, the Hornee range boasts a CSIRO Tested Custom Kevlar Weave. This type of weave is an amazing 292% stronger..when looking at the facts like that, the decision on what jeans to buy can’t be a hard one surely!
And we at Two Wheel Centre have decided that as an extra christmas offer for all our lovely customers, that we’d offer some great discounts on them..only whilst certain stocks last though. With discounts up to 23% it seems a shame if you miss out on these great jeans.
With an array of designs, these trousers provide the perfect attire with no need to get changed when nipping into the shops or pubs. The kevlar in these jeans also covers the sides, front and back to below the knees, meaning that the majority of your legs are protected compared to other jeans with just panels at the knees, hips and bum.
Hornee jeans also provide two different cuts for ladies to wear, a highstreet look with a concealed safeguarding interior. It is no wonder these jeans are many riders choice of casual wear. If any help with sizes is needed, do not hesistate to give us a call and we’ll be more than happy to help you grab a pair of these australian beauties.
It’s been a while since I last wrote to you regarding the range of Hit-Air vests, products we at the Two Wheel Centre are extremely passionate about selling. And the latest release from Hit-Air – the Hit-Air MLV-Y Motorcycle Air Vest – has flourished ahead of its previous counterparts.
With Motorcycle Monthly even including it in their ’9 Must-Have New Bike Goodies’ article, it seems the whole world is now cottoning on to the power of this protective vest.
The MLV-Y vest is an alternative version to their original MLV vest, but the high viz colouring and reflective strips are proving the popular selection. The overall consensus being that riders are now choosing to consider their safety alot more over style.
With the concept of the vest considerably easy, (a lanyard attached to the vest is then attached to your bike and if a force of 35kg or more is pulled on it, the gas cannister is punctured and the vest inflates), the inflatation time is just 0.25 seconds..faster than the blink of an eye. This will protect your neck, spine, hips, rib cage and vital organs.
Everything is supplied with the vest (including a cannister) and you can buy extra ones at point of sale (cheaper than buying them at a later date).
The vests come in a range of sizes, and can also be used to ride horses. If an accident does occur and the vest is inflated, as long as the airbag is not damaged all that is needed is a new cannister (give yourself a once over too of course!) and away you go.
What is basically your very own airbag surrounding your body, for just £395 this is the perfect protective gear for when your out and about. Highly visible to fellow road users, this revolutionary vest is bankrolled to be the next big thing.
