Xena 4 Ladies one-piece suit

Boasting a AAA safety rating and CE-level 2 protection in all the right places, REV’IT! equipped the Xena 4 Ladies with additional stretch, allowing you to wear the Xena 4 Ladies one piece with airbag vest — a contemporary safety must. Mind you, REV’IT! advises going up one size on your regular size to accommodate either an Avertum Tech-Air or the Tech-Air airbag vest.

On top of dialed-in safety and the Xena line’s known good looks, there’s plenty of ventilation all throughout and simple yet very welcome practical features like removable and washable liners, a hydration pack-prepared speedhump, and the same labels and tech REV’IT! applies to all its race-ready suits. If the Xena 4 Ladies one piece is one thing, it’s ready for the track and ready to race.

The Xena 4 Ladies will be available in the quintessential and stylish Black-White colorway as well as a Black-Blue option that combines a deep, Yamaha-derived blue with carefully weighed pink accents.

R&G Lockstop Savers

new-r&g-lockstops

Motorcycle crashes or heavy falls can be highly damaging to a bike, with extreme forces potentially breaking the lockstops on the yoke. This can cause clip-ons and handlebars to move further back than normal, leading to additional damage to the frame and fuel tank.

The R&G Lockstop Savers are designed to prevent this from happening, providing a layer of protection to one of the most vulnerable parts of the bike. They are quick and easy to install, making them essential for any track day.

In addition to a range of model-specific Lockstop Savers, R&G has also created universal fitments to ensure almost every motorcyclist can protect their bike.
