   For 35 years, Touratech has been synonymous with high-quality motorcycle equipment and clothing. To mark its anniversary, the company is presenting the exclusive collection ‘35th Anniversary Edition’.

   Touratech is 35! This anniversary must of course be celebrated in style. And the Adventure Company No. 1 is doing just that, not only with a travel event in a class of its own, but also with the attractive 35th Anniversary Edition. The exclusively styled edition products allow all adventure riders and friends of the brand to join in the celebrations and at the same time express their lifestyle with a distinctive look.
   
   The edition includes leisure wear as well as riding and motorcycle gear. Each piece impresses with high-quality materials and distinctive anniversary branding. The design of the products harks back to the brand's roots and expresses timeless values such as quality, adventure and freedom in a modern design language.
   
   ‘New ideas for motorcycles’ – for 35 years, this slogan has described Touratech's commitment to setting new trends as an innovation leader in the industry and continuously raising the quality standard for motorcycle equipment and clothing. With the “35th Anniversary Edition”, we are offering exclusively styled products for a limited time to thank all friends of the Touratech brand and, last but not least, all those who have accompanied us on this journey," says Touratech CMO Martin Wickert.
   
   The highlight of the anniversary collection is the Aventuro PRO Carbon 35th Anniversary Edition helmet. With its integrated sun visor, it offers an additional feature that goes beyond the wide range of functions of the standard version. The distinctive design emphasises the high quality of this unique adventure helmet thanks to a particularly high share of visible carbon.
   
   The popular Touratech Rack-Pack is available in the 35th Anniversary Edition in a sand colour with special adventure appeal – and in two sizes, namely with a volume of 25 and 50 litres.
   The ‘35 years’ softshell jacket is a high-quality and practical garment. A microfibre towel, a multifunctional scarf and various caps are also available in the exclusive look of the anniversary collection.
   
   Just in time for the warm season, the T-shirt and polo shirt with ‘35 years’ branding are now available. And to quench your thirst, take a sip from the ‘Edition 35’ aluminium drinking bottle.

2. Touratech aluminium pannier systems: Huge variety for demanding adventure riders

   Posted on 12:00pm Friday 16th May 2025

   Touratech is world-famous for its indestructible aluminium pannier systems for more than three decades. Three pannier series with numerous size variants and different finishes are available, so that travellers can choose from a huge range of hard luggage.

   Somewhere far out on the really tough tracks of this planet is where the Touratech aluminium pannier systems originated. Developed by adventure travellers for the adventure community, these luggage systems meet the highest standards of robustness, quality and practicality.

   Rugged stainless steel rack
   The base of all Touratech aluminium pannier systems is a carrier made of generously dimensioned 18x2 millimetre stainless steel tubing. This is manufactured specifically for each model so that a design close to the vehicle can be realised and the lowest possible leverage forces act on the fittings. Touratech stainless steel carriers are available either electropolished with a silky shimmering surface or with a black powder coating.

   Aluminium pannier systems with numerous combination options
   The Touratech aluminium pannier systems combine cases of different series and sizes with the respective model-specific carrier. There are currently three ZEGA pannier series and the special ZEGA Evo X system to choose from. The cases can be customised not only by series, but also by size or finish. With this huge selection, Touratech offers adventure riders the unique opportunity to configure an aluminium pannier system specially made to suit their needs. For the new BMW R 1300 GS alone, there are 36 different configurations to choose from!

4. Nolan and Carlos Checa: The new X-804 RS Ultra Carbon 30th anniversary special edition

   Posted on 12:00pm Tuesday 6th May 2025

   The 30-year collaboration between Nolan and Carlos Checa has resulted in the X-804 RS Ultra Carbon 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION (355), customised with graphics inspired by the helmet worn by the Spanish rider in 2011 when he won the SBK World Championship. A helmet that, through some graphic details elegantly highlighted on the shell, tells a story made of racing, life, travel and true passion.

   The idea that has inspired the Nolan Style Centre and Carlos Checa to recount these 30 years together on the world's racetracks is based on the top-of-the-range X-804 RS Ultra Carbon, with a carbon shell and Liquido paint (an innovative layering of colour that allows the elegant carbon fibre weave to shine through on the surface) in a blue shade.

   A premium base made even more exclusive by graphic stylings such as the iconic World Map, which is highlighted on the canopy by a rich pearl white, or the legendary number 7 and, again, the stamps symbolising the countless journeys made by the pilot during his career. Finally, the lines of the hemisphere have been done in gradient turquoise.

   Metallic silver colours some of these elements, giving the wearer of this helmet a unique and exclusive experience.

   A Dark Smoke visor included in the packaging completes the helmet.

   X-804 RS UC 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION, which preserves all the peculiarities of a model with XSeries signature and great attitude to protection, safety and comfort, is available with four shells in sizes 2XS to 3XL.

   X-804 RS UC CHECA 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION (355) is available at authorised Nolan Dealers with a suggested retail price of £699.99. 

    

    

5. NOLAN PRESENTS A BRAND NEW GRAPHICS - THE LESMO

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 17th Apr 2025

   DEDICATED TO OUR PINNACLE X-804 RS ULTRA CARBON, THE TWO VERSIONS SHADES OF STYLE AND FURY OF PERFORMANCE ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH TIMELESS SPORT ELEGANCE.

   There are helmets that protect and can tell a story.  

   In the long tradition of Italian motorsport excellence, X-804 RS Ultra Carbon is the perfect synthesis of technology and style. Designed to dominate extreme speeds and stand out in every detail, this carbon fibre model comes from Nolan's racing heritage: a legacy-built race after race, victory after victory. A helmet that, thanks to its design, highlights a style with a decidedly Made in Italy character, redefining the paradigm of sports elegance.

   With the new LESMO graphics, available in the Shades of Style and Fury of Performance variants, a new helmet idea takes shape: an object that blends absolute performance with refined aesthetics. A tribute to the sporty soul of those who live the motorbike as an extension of themselves, as well as to the pure beauty of speed.

   Designed for the most demanding riders, born from the Italian passion for pure performance, X-804 RS Ultra Carbon LESMO represents the pinnacle of Nolan technology. A carbon fibre structure, distinguished by the X Series signature, that combines all the features required by those who are about to ride a sports bike on the track or on the road: lightness and strength, aerodynamics and comfort, protection and style. This helmet is the result of artisan knowledge carefully cultivated in the Brembate di Sopra factory, where every detail is shaped by hand by those who know the meaning of the word ‘excellence’.

   The two new colours created for the LESMO graphics are an expression of aesthetics inspired by legendary circuits, by the memorable exploits that have chronicled the most beautiful sporting pages linked to the world of speed on two and four wheels, with an inimitable and timeless style.

   Shades of Style (361) is the essence of style meets speed: Anthracite, Black, Gold and a Metal Silver visor that illuminates every trajectory with innate class. Fury of Performance (362), on the other hand, is the power of racing that takes shape: a symphony of Carbon, Red, Black, Grey and Gold, complemented by a Dark Smoke visor that reflects the determination of those who never stop. Both versions of LESMO are born from an exposed carbon shell base to give life to a design that ideally follows the trajectories of the wind, immediately conveying the emotion you feel once you open the throttle.

   X-804 RS UC LESMO doesn't just protect the head: it amplifies the sensation of riding, enhancing every turn, every straight, every breath of the engine. The D-Ring retention system, the Ultra wide visor with anti-scratch treatment, the triple ventilation enhanced by Racing Air Flow (RAF), and the active carbon inner padding - now in the new sand color - define a habitat designed for maximum concentration and minimum compromise.

   Every element speaks of care: from the compatibility with glasses (Eyewear Adaptive), to the anti-fog nose deflector, to the sculpted rear edge to improve freedom of movement in a racing position. Then there's the aerodynamics enhanced by the Racetrack Aerodynamic Spoiler (RAS), developed through CFD studies and wind tunnel testing, capable of ensuring impeccable stability even under the most decisive acceleration.

   There is also the Camel Bag hydration system and the Tear Off kit, for riders who live the track without compromise. Also available is the set of additional padding for a ‘made-to-measure’ fit.

   Four shells for X-804 RS Ultra Carbon, from 2XS to 3XL, for a fit that fits like a second skin.

   The LESMO graphic is available at Nolan Dealers, with a suggested retail price of £599.99.
