1. 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. 

    

    

2. 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.

3. Touratech Suspension ‘Limited Edition’ shocks for the BMW R 1250 GS

   Posted on 12:00pm Friday 11th Apr 2025

   Under the ‘Limited Edition’ label, Touratech Suspension presents the perfect gear for rallies and round the world trips with the BMW R 1250 GS and the Adventure models. The ultra-robust monoshocks can replace conventional suspension elements and, thanks to the Cancellation Plug, also electronic DDA suspension systems. The advantages of semi-active suspensions are well known. Thanks to their electronic valve, these components can adapt their damping to the surface almost in real time and thus enable ultra-fine response behaviour with large reserves at the same time. In tough off-road use, however, more direct feedback is often required to enable a sporty, active riding style. In addition, the adjustment options via the choice of riding modes set limits when creating customised setups. Touratech Suspension now offers the ‘Limited Edition’ suspension parts for riders who want to take their BMW R 1250 GS or GSA into really tough terrain or master the most demanding dirt tracks on long-distance travels.   State-of-the-art technologies for a new level of riding experience The high-end shocks are based on the advanced technology of the recently launched Extreme 2 series. The new electronic spring preload in a compact design enables quick and easy installation without the need for an external EPA pump. The 46 millimetre strong damper piston, which is now equipped with a ‘low friction’ piston band, offers minimal friction. The separating piston of the damper also has an additional guide, which supports low-friction sliding. All in all, these innovative technical solutions result in a previously unrivalled sensitive responsiveness.   Advanced PDS function for maximum resistance The ‘Limited Edition’ suspension struts also set themselves apart from conventional products in terms of safety at extreme conditions thanks to their superior technology. The enhanced PDS function has a newly designed hydraulic stop that works even more precisely and reliably prevents bottoming out. The two-part reservoir has also been enlarged and therefore offers more oil volume and an optimised cooling surface for effective heat dissipation. The result is constant damping performance right up to the extreme range.   Precise adjustment over a wide range The ‘Limited Edition’ suspension parts offer the full spectrum of customised adjustment options. While the rebound damping is adjusted in the tried-and-tested manner at the base of the shock absorber, the optimised compression adjustment at the reservoir offers an extremely wide adjustment range, which enables precise and reproducible individual set-ups. Adjustment for the low and high-speed range is particularly easy thanks to adjusters in different colours.   Conventional or DDA: Seamless integration into the vehicle Cancellation plugs are included in the tuning package for vehicles with electronic DDA suspension. These fit perfectly on the existing plugs and avoid error messages in the dashboard.   Serviceable long-life components Like all shock absorbers from Touratech Suspension, the new ‘Limited Edition’ parts are of course fully serviceable. From time to time or after intensive use on long-distance travel, the shock absorbers can be dismantled and overhauled. Then they are as good as new again. For consistent performance and long-lasting riding pleasure, even under extreme conditions. Further information on the ‘Limited Edition’ suspension parts can be found in the webshop at www.touratech.com/touratech-suspension

4. The new dirt bike glove Touratech MX-Wild

   Posted on 12:00pm Tuesday 11th Mar 2025

   Breezy, ultra-light and ready for any off-road adventure: Touratech presents the new MX-Wild enduro glove with many practical features.

   
   A solid riding technique and superior body control are crucial requirements for successful off-road motorcycling. In order to be able to transmit even the finest impulses to the vehicle, there must be a perfect connection between man and machine at all interfaces.
   This is where the new Touratech MX-Wild comes into action. The extensive experience of the Touratech Racing factory team has been incorporated into the development of this enduro glove, which is designed for ambitious off-road use. Building on its successful predecessor model, this further development offers numerous practice-orientated features.
   Thanks to its soft and stretchy material, the MX-Wild fits snugly on the hand without creases, while the absence of superfluous seams ensures a pressure-free fit. The lightweight and well-ventilated material ensures a comfortable fit even at high temperatures. Generous silicone prints on the index and middle fingers ensure a reliable grip on the hand levers. The roughened back of the thumb is perfect for cleaning cross goggles while riding. The particularly stressed area between the thumb and index finger is reinforced with a double layer of material.
   The new fastening strap is significantly more robust than the previous model to ensure even more reliable protection against accidental stripping of the glove. The cuff made of high-quality neoprene ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist. The synthetic leather palm combines very good grip values with long durability.
   The new Touratech MX-Wild cuts an excellent figure both on racy off-road excursions and on desert stages. The lightweight enduro glove is available in four colour schemes and seven sizes from S to 4XL. Item no. 500-5100 ff.

With 3DCal, riders can express their personal style without breaking the bank, all while adding a layer of durability to their prized possession.
   
   Court Rand, founder of 3DCal.com stated, "This platform is a game changer for motorcyclists everywhere.
