“We’ve had great success with our Flare Windshields for BMW’s sport tour models, and we’re thrilled to now offer a version for the R 18 lineup,” said Brian Klock, visionary and founder of Klock Werks. “These bikes have such a strong presence with their vintage-inspired design, and our Flare adds modern wind control without compromising the heritage feel.”

As a trusted name in the motorcycle industry for high-quality windshields, Klock Werks has been known for enhancing the ride with its signature Flare Windshield, previously available for BMW sport tour models like the K 1600 and R 1250 RT. Now, they’re excited to offer this transformative product for BMW’s heritage touring style.

The BMW’s R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental models embody a classic cruiser aesthetic while delivering modern touring performance. The Klock Werks Flare Windshield adds even more comfort and style to these motorcycles, providing improved wind protection and reducing buffeting for riders. With its signature “hips” that reroute wind around the rider and “flip” at the top for improved stability, this Flare Windshield perfectly complements the R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental’s iconic design.

The Klock Werks Flare Windshield is available in a 14-inch version with various tints to suit the rider’s personal style, offering a seamless upgrade that enhances both the look and performance of the R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental. As with all Klock Werks products, installation is straightforward, with hardware designed to work with the bike’s factory mounting points.

Brian Klock, founder of Klock Werks, shared, “This 10-inch Flare Windshield for the Street Glide was developed with our riders in mind. We’re excited to offer this product that reduces turbulence around the rider and gives that secure, planted feeling — even at highway speeds. The response from our test riders has been outstanding, and we’re confident Street Glide owners will appreciate what this windshield brings to their motorcycles.”

The 10-inch Flare Windshield is the ideal choice for taller riders or those who sit higher in the saddle, offering increased coverage over the current eight-inch option. Featuring Klock Werks’ signature “hips and flips” design, this new windshield significantly reduces turbulence and buffeting, enhancing the overall riding experience. The upgraded brackets ensure a secure and stable fit for easy installation and added reliability, making the 10-inch Flare not just a visual upgrade but a performance boost. It retains the streamlined profile that Street Glide riders love, with added height for superior wind protection without compromising aesthetics.

Made with high-quality polycarbonate, meticulous design and rider-focused improvements, the 10-inch Flare Windshield is set to become a favorite among Street Glide enthusiasts. It will bring both refinement and utility to the 2023.5-2024 Street Glide models over stock application.

“We created the Tread 2 for our off-road customers who never back down from a challenge. Built tough, the device is designed to guide you through all types of conditions and stand up to extreme weather. It also comes packed with a wide range of mapping options, giving adventure seekers confidence to take the path less traveled,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales.

Rugged Design

Tread 2 brings adventure to life with a 6-inch, high-resolution, ultra-bright display, which is easy to view in direct sunlight and easy to operate while wearing gloves. It has an IP67 dust/water rating to withstand weather and demanding terrain. Travel confidently across tough terrain using built-in sensors that include an altimeter, barometer, compass and pitch/roll gauges. Additionally, Tread 2 includes rugged roll tube and handlebar mount options to best fit the setup of a wide range of powersport vehicles.

Superior Mapping

The Tread 2 offers an incredible assortment of mapping features to help adventurers push their limits and explore with greater confidence.

• Off-road mapping: Find the way with turn-by-turn navigation for unpaved roads and trails with content from OpenStreetMap, U.S. Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Maps and Adventure Roads and Trails.¹
• Maps for snowmobiles: Explore with preloaded topographic maps, plus snowmobile-accessible trails and locations throughout the northern U.S. and all of Canada.
• Satellite imagery: Download subscription-free satellite imagery directly to the device via Wi-Fi technology to see high-resolution overhead views of routes and terrain.
• Federal public land boundaries: Be aware of public land boundaries for national forests, Bureau of Land Management and wilderness areas and view private land boundaries and landowner information for parcels greater than four acres.

• Outdoor Maps+: Purchase a subscription to Outdoor Maps+ to access premium map content, including slope angle, hunting data, avalanche risk reports and more.

Control From the Handlebar

Adventure-seekers can easily operate their compatible Tread or zūmo XT2 navigators with the new, wired Handlebar Controller (sold separately). The controller lets riders zoom in and out of their map view, select and scroll through their preferred map layers and waypoints, control music and more. And, the intuitive push-button design makes it easy to operate the controller without removing gloves or other gear.

The handlebar controller includes versatile mounting options to fit most snowmobiles, motorcycles and ATVs. It can also withstand adventurous rides with an IP67 dust and water-resistance rating, while the wired power source ensures reliable performance in extreme temperatures.

Working Together

Riders can stay connected when venturing beyond cellphone coverage by pairing a compatible inReach SOS satellite communication device³ for two-way messaging — which includes voice and photo messaging on select devices — and location tracking via the 100% global Iridium satellite network. In the event of an emergency, users can send an interactive SOS message to Garmin Response, a 24/7-staffed international emergency assistance coordination center.

Adventure seekers can also stay in touch with members in their group by pairing Tread 2 with the Group Ride Radio for location sharing and voice communication through the push-to-talk mic when exploring outside of cell coverage. Additionally, it pairs with a Bluetooth-enabled helmet or headset for hands-free communication.

Available now, the Garmin Tread 2 has a suggested retail price of $699.99, while the new Handlebar Controller has a suggested retail price of $149.99.

Originally machined for a custom 1991 FXR build, these pegs have evolved into a finely crafted component designed for both durability and style.

The initial design, created in-house by Klock Werks, was brought to life when Brian Klock introduced it to Dustin Maybin of Maybin Concepts. Known for his precision and attention to detail, Maybin added the finishing touches to perfect these rider and shifter pegs. The result? A set of durable, reliable and stylish peg bundles that complement the look of any motorcycle. 

“We first machined these pegs for a special FXR build, and it was clear that they had the potential to become something even bigger,” said Brian Klock, founder of Klock Werks. “Partnering with Dustin Maybin allowed us to refine the design, resulting in pegs that not only look great but feel amazing during rides.”

The Maybin Peg Bundles feature a distinctive, knurled surface for a solid grip and improved rider control. Built to last, they are machined from high-quality materials, ensuring strength and reliability through every ride. These pegs fit a wide range of motorcycles, offering a functional upgrade with custom flair.

A Seamless Off-road Navigation Experience

For off-road adventurers, reliable navigation is critical to making informed decisions and safely exploring unfamiliar terrain. Until now, many users had to rely on third-party navigation apps for turn-by-turn directions. With the introduction of onX Navigation, customers can build a route, choose a point of interest (POI), or find a spot on the map and instantly get directions to that place while remaining within the onX ecosystem. onX Navigation is like a co-pilot to the most remote places a vehicle can access. 

One of the standout aspects of this feature is its ability to work in Offline Mode, which allows users to access turn-by-turn directions even when they’re out of cell range. By downloading offline maps in advance, off-roaders can explore remote areas confidently, knowing that navigation continues uninterrupted, regardless of connectivity.

“We are thrilled to offer our users a solution that allows them to explore confidently without relying on external tools,” said onX Senior Product Manager Val Zolyak. “With onX Navigation, our users will have a more integrated, reliable and enjoyable experience, helping them focus on the trail ahead and the adventure at hand. WIth the addition of turn-by-turn voice commands, they can stay focused on the trail when conditions and terrain go from easy to extreme or the weather comes in and reduces visibility.”

Key Features of onX Navigation

• Off-road-specific guidance: Tailored for dirt roads and off-road use, the feature provides detailed driving directions to selected destinations such as to waypoints, onX Trail Guide rated trails, forest roads and POI like lookouts or camp spots.
• Voice commands: Adventurers can rely on audible turn-by-turn directions, allowing them to keep their eyes on the trail.
• Offline mode (iOS platform only): Turn-by-turn navigation remains fully functional in areas without cell service, thanks to the ability to download maps for offline use.
• Navigate along user-created routes: Users can build custom routes in advance and receive turn-by-turn directions as they follow these user-designed paths, ensuring they stay on track throughout their adventure.
• Real-time rerouting: Should users miss a turn, the app will automatically reroute them whether they are within cell range or offline.
• Multiple map orientations: Users can switch between different map views, such as Landscape, Portrait, North-up lock, tilted perspectives and top-down views to suit their navigation preferences.
• Connected driving experience: The feature is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, delivering navigation directly to in-dash displays for a smoother in-vehicle experience while also allowing users to search for nearby trails and content all from their in-dash screen.

“This is the kind of feature that gets you pumped to hit the trail,” said onX General Manager Rory Edwards. “onX Navigation is for anyone who craves adventure and needs to keep their focus on the trail in front of them. Whether you’re tackling rocky climbs or cruising through desert washes, this feature keeps you dialed in, letting you enjoy the thrills of the trail while knowing exactly where you’re headed.”

Enhancing the Off-Road Experience

As onX continues to expand its platform, the onX Navigation feature marks a major step in providing a more comprehensive and convenient experience for outdoor adventurers. The new feature represents onX’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge tools designed to make off-road exploration more intuitive, enjoyable and stress-free.

This feature is slowly trickling out to Premium and Elite onX Offroad subscribers through winter and will be available for the iOS and Android Mobile Apps, CarPlay and Android Auto.

The BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T33 is a next-generation sport touring tire that maintains the touring performance of its predecessor, the BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32, while improving its mileage by 47%. The latest addition to the BATTLAX tire family maintains the high-level wet performance of the BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32 while building on its predecessor’s performance in the dry, with more secure handling.

This tire employs a newly designed compound together with an optimized tread pattern and construction to increase mileage while delivering reliable handling performance. These features help alleviate the concerns that might be felt during long-distance riding to support the joy of touring.

To achieve its performance enhancements, the Bridgestone BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T33 applies a host of new technologies. Both the front and rear benefit from a new pattern design, with optimized land-sea ratio and pattern stiffness, alongside a continuation of the T32 shape for confident grip, stability and handling. The front tire applies a new cross belt, while the rear adopts an MS belt — both engineered with a flexible construction and suitable for light and heavy bikes. The rear tire has been engineered with a newly-developed compound, applying a high-strength, wear-resistant polymer that helps to prevent the polymer chain scission.

The Bridgestone BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T33’s mileage improvement over the BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32 is enabled by a combination of its new compound, pattern and construction, all leading to a reduction in the tire’s contact patch slippage area.

The new Bridgestone BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T33 will be available at launch across four sizes in the front and six in the rear, with five additional sizes available in 2026.

I expect that both weekend warriors and professional racers are going to love the way they perform on their rig.”
