Mitas ENDURO TRAIL-ADV Tire
Classified as a 70% on-road and 30% off-road tire, the ENDURO TRAIL-ADV delivers all-around performance and confidence on and off the road. It is designed for the rider who is not willing to sacrifice class-leading high-speed road performance or decent off-road performance in all weather conditions. The ENDURO TRAIL-ADV features Multi-Compound Tread Technology (MCTT) for excellent mileage and cornering grip even at low temperatures, while the high silica content ensures excellent wet grip. The unique construction technology and the irregular geometry of the longitudinal tread pattern design provide outstanding straight-line stability, smooth handling and extremely low road noise.
USWE Sports Adventure Fit Moto Hydro Packs
With the new Adventure Fit option, dual sport and adventure motorcycle riders who wear body armor and protective riding jackets can now stay hydrated and enjoy the body-hugging “No Dancing Monkey” fit of USWE Sports’ popular dirt bike and enduro racing Moto Hydro hydration backpack collection. The new Moto Hydro Adventure Fit packs maintain all of the original Race Fit packs’ performance benefits while expanding the fit range by as much as 8 inches (20 centimeters) in its largest harness adjustment position.
Moto Hydro Adventure Fit hydration backpacks are available in 3,- 4-, 8- and 12-liter packable volumes in a neutral black-and-gray design that compliments every apparel colorway.
Adventure Fit vertical straps are 2.75 inches (7 centimeters) longer, and the horizontal stretch straps are 4 inches (10 centimeters) longer than the original Race Fit. The Adventure Fit Moto Hydro hydration backpacks fit chest sizes ranging from 43 to 51 inches (110 to 130 centimeters).
Leatt’s Range of Adventure Gear
Leatt Corp.’s ADV range has been designed for motorcycle enthusiasts that answer the call of adventure no matter the conditions or terrain.
The ADV line is made up of three product ranges, the flagship product being the Multi Tour gear with all-season, all-weather apparel. Then there is the Flow Tour gear, perfect for warmer climates, and Dri Tour, essential wet-weather gear. All the ranges include removable layers be it thermal or waterproof — or both. The ADV line is as adaptable as the elements themselves.
An adventure range would not be complete without an outstanding footwear proposition. The ADV HydraDri boots feature Leatt’s proprietary HydraDri Evo membrane and are designed for comfort and safety. Their versatility makes them ideal for those long exploration rides. The gloves in the ADV range are available in a standard above-the-wrist fit or a shorter alternative. In the full range, you can find options for all weather and season variations with HydraDri membranes or X-Flow mesh uppers. Of course, here Leatt has also left its distinctive mark, incorporating its NanoGrip palms, together with CE-certified leather as well the brand’s lightweight, super flexible Reaflex gel knuckle protection.
Every product in the ADV apparel range makes use of Leatt 3DF impact protection and has Class AA-rated certification and — in most cases — CE level 2 protection, ensuring that the safety of the rider is fully considered and uncompromising.
R&G Workshop Paddock Stands
Created for the front and rear of the bike, the R&G Workshop Paddock Stands have been crafted with meticulous attention to detail, making them a must-have for workshops, home garages and race pits alike. Each stand can support up to 200 kilograms and is black powder-coated to guarantee a stylish and long-lasting finish.
The new stands feature larger wheels compared to many on the market, ensuring great manouvrability. Extended handles also offer increased leverage to ensure a smoother and easier process when lifting the bike.
Riders have a choice of two front Workshop Paddock Stands: one designed with adaptors on the arms that hook and slot into the underside of the fork legs and one that fits to the headstock. At the rear, there is a choice of a left-hand side, right-hand side or standard fitment.
