BMW Motorrad Rider’s Equipment
Following the release of the 2012 motorcycle lineup, BMW Motorrad released it’s Rider’s Equipment for 2012, which includes everything from functional on-bike items to fan collections, such as the BMW Motorrad Style articles.
Once again, plenty of innovations and developments have been added to BMW Motorrad Ride for 2012: the products all feature meticulously selected materials, carefully crafted technology and safety concepts and modern design, constituting uncompromising, high-quality rider’s equipment.
The AirFlow 2 helmet is a completely new development that lives up to its name in terms of aerodynamics and optimum ventilation. Carbon insets and padding foamed in a variety of thicknesses ensure maximum safety. The urban design, which includes aluminium applications for a modern look, leaves nothing to be desired. Some of the helmet colours have been chosen to coordinate with the BMW Maxi-Scooter.
The core of BMW Motorrad Rider’s Equipment consists of five suits: TourShell, Start, Sport 2, DoubleR and KlimaKomfort 2. As well as offering excellent functionality, the well-conceived colour schemes and tailoring of the suits means that the products can be combined to unique effect: Thus, for example the Start suit for womengoes very well with the DoubleR and Sport 2 suits.
It is now easier than ever to find the perfect individual combination for every tour thanks to the wider range of jackets and trousers available in the BMW Motorrad Rider’s Equipment 2012: Thus, the Boulder Neon, Urban and Venting jackets not only create an excellent complete outfit when teamed with Allround and Summer 3 trousers, but can also be combined with all BMW Motorrad suits thanks to zip adapters. Naturally, the jackets and trousers meet the same high safety standards as the suits. Of course, these highly functional, attractive jackets are not just designed as motorcycle equipment, but can also be worn as casual daywear.
The ProTouring 2 boot is now also available in a version for women . It has been completely redesigned, achieving optimum stability with a significant increase in the heel height that still remains discreet: the extra height is mostly hidden inside the boot. ProTouring 2 features a slim, feminine design and is the perfect professional standard all-year-round boot. Also in the same league is the SportDry boot, which has a patented safety system. Inside, the foot has maximum freedom of movement.
The GORE-TEX membrane ensures that the boot is waterproof and breathable. Its cutting edge technology offers perfect protection from injury. The Sneaker X2 has also been further improved, for example in the heel area, and, thanks to its breathable material and discreet design, is perfect for day-to-day city traffic and for the office.
BMW Motorrad Rider’s Equipment 2012 stands for premium quality and safety from head to toe – and hand: the unique composite material Keratan was incorporated in the ProSport leather glove . This enhances the leather’s resistance to abrasion enormously. The understated colour scheme means that the glove can be combined perfectly with any equipment variant. The Urban glove is made form the finest goatskin and is particularly suitable for the city and short journeys. It may not look like a classic motorcycle glove, but the hands will be protected in the event of impact.
Socks and stockings are an important, often forgotten detail – however functional socks and stockings from BMW Motorrad are designed to be teamed with boots and shoes with breathable membranes and ensure that the feet stay at the right temperature on every tour, whatever the weather.
The MessengerBag 2 and Function 3 rucksack round off the range of new features available in the BMW Motorrad Rider’s Equipment . Both product have been developed from tried-and-tested products and provide plenty of storage space despite their compact dimensions. The MessengerBag 2can hold anything the average commuter needs for his daily journey to the office. The extra padding means that the laptop is particularly well protected, while the detachable hip belt ensures that the bag remains in secure contact with the rider. One of the special features of the Function 3 rucksackare the straps that enable the rucksack to be fastened directly to the motorcycle in a single move.
