  1. BMW Motorrad Clothing Collection 2026

    Posted on

    Munich. It is well known that there is no such thing as bad weather when riding a motorcycle, only unsuitable clothing. BMW Motorrad took this into account more than four decades ago and was the first motorcycle manufacturer in the world to present its first in-house rider equipment in 1978, in addition to the BMW Motorrad flip-up helmet introduced in 1976.  

    In the decades that followed, BMW Motorrad consistently implemented the maxim of making motorcycling as safe and comfortable as possible and at the same time fashionably attractive and stylish.

    For the coming season, BMW Motorrad is once again offering numerous innovations and innovative solutions with the 2026 Clothing Collection.

    Highlight: the new innovative BMW Motorrad System 8 Carbon and System 8 helmets for maximum safety and comfort.

    The eighth-generation System 8 Carbon flip-up helmet, homologated in accordance with ECE 22.06, offers optimum safety with minimum weight thanks to its helmet shell made of a carbon-aramide-fibreglass mix. The innovative MIPS Integra TX® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) reduces the rotational movement of the head in the event of an impact and reduces the risk of injury.

    The System 8 helmet variant is also homologated in accordance with ECE 22.06 and made from a glass fibre/aramid mix.

    Both helmets offer best impact absorption values and an optimum safety performance. Thanks to two helmet shell sizes, they are also only as big as they actually need to be. The polystyrene inner construction with different densities ensures maximum safety and comfort, while integrated neck straps ensure a secure fit. The inner padding, certified to OEKO-TEX 100, and the efficient ventilation system for the head and visor offer best functionality and optimum comfort.

    Thanks to the multi-joint mechanism of the chin section, the new  BMW Motorrad System 8 Carbon and System 8 helmets are very compact even when open and can be ridden in that position thanks to the integrated chin section latch. When riding with the helmet closed, the extremely effective spoiler supports wearing comfort. The aerodynamics and aeroacoustics have also been noticeably optimised for this purpose. Thanks to Pinlock 120 XLT Max View®, the visor offers the best possible anti-fog protection in all weather conditions. Other practical features include the central button for opening the chin section and the chin strap with snap-in buckle. The infinitely adjustable sun visor and the specially developed visor mechanism with quick release offer the greatest possible ease of use.

    For an even more intensive motorcycling experience, the new BMW Motorrad System 8 Carbon and System 8 helmets can be upgraded with the innovative BMW ConnectedRide communication system; the corresponding antennas and devices are integrated ex works in all System 8 helmets. Optional visor kits are also available (orange, clear, tinted, blue mirrored, silver mirrored). Cheek pads in different thicknesses are available to enable an even more individual fit. The System 8 helmet is available in five colours, while the System 8 Carbon helmet is also available in five decor variants.

    The Glandon AIR jacket in a sporty blouson cut is the perfect companion for summer rides. The focus here lies on the use of recycled materials or materials that can be returned to the cycle. The BMW logo and the BMW Motorrad emblem have therefore been embossed and are visual highlights. The combination of abrasion-resistant and air-permeable mesh fabric ensures safety and optimum ventilation at all times. The jacket is therefore an ideal companion, especially in very warm temperatures. The jacket with protection class AA has protectors on the elbows and shoulders as well as a back protector. Reflective prints on the sleeves provide extra safety at night. Elastic ribbed cuffs and hem ensure a high level of comfort while three outer pockets with zippers and two inner pockets (one of which is waterproof) provide space for utensils.

    The waterproof, modern Soulor GORE-TEX boot offers protection and an innovative ventilation system for optimum comfort on long rides. The effective GORE-TEX FLOW SURROUND technology ensures a pleasant climate balance with ventilation channels in the sole. Thanks to the waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane, the boot is ideal for all weather conditions. The non-slip, shock-absorbing and oil and fuel-resistant VIBRAM® sole with reinforced protection zones provides additional safety. The upper shoe is made from a sturdy 3D knitted fabric. The inside zipper makes it easy to put on and take off while the FREELOCK quick-release system enables an optimum fit. Ankle and shin protection as well as integrated reinforcements in the toe and gearshift area ensure safety and comfort.

    The Allrounder Taunus GORE-TEX boot is a waterproof and breathable touring boot that offers a high level of comfort and reliable protection on motorcycle tours. Made from hard-wearing leather and equipped with a waterproof and breathable PTFE-free GORE-TEX membrane, it is ideal for all weather conditions. The OrthoLite insole ensures a high comfort level. The boot has ankle, shin and shift lever protection as well as a non-slip and oil-repellent rubber sole. The covered zipper and an additional Velcro fastener make them easy to put on and take off. The Taunus GORE-TEX Plus version of the boot offers a 6 cm higher standing height.

    Adventure seekers will get their money's worth with the Adventure collection. For the coming motorcycle season, it once again offers valuable additions in the area of functional clothing. For example, the GS Coro GORE-TEX jacket (protection class AA), which impresses with its comfortable fit and excellent freedom of movement. Thanks to the GORE-TEX Z-Liner construction with GORE-TEX ePE membrane, it is waterproof, breathable and windproof (water column 28,000 mm). Removable protectors on the elbows and shoulders and a long back protector offer protection, while stretch inserts on the inside of the arms increase freedom of movement and comfort. Fall-prone areas on the elbows are reinforced with a gridded acrylic coating. In addition to the "2way Climate System", effective air inlets ensure optimum ventilation. The interior is equipped with a 3D spacer fabric to ventilate the back protector area. A specially tailored women's cut with infinitely variable waist adjuster ensures the perfect silhouette, while press studs and Velcro fasteners at the cuffs allow the width of the sleeves to be adjusted. The width of the collar and jacket hem can be adjusted using press studs or an elasticated band. A short zipper and an all-round zipper allow the jacket, which is available in black and olive for men and women, to be worn with matching trousers.

    The matching GS Coro GORE-TEX trousers, also available for men and women in black and olive, offer a comfortable fit and excellent freedom of movement. They are also waterproof, breathable and windproof. Removable protectors on the hips and knees offer additional protection and stretch inserts increase comfort.

    The Reschen GORE-TEX gloves made from a leather/textile mix are the perfect match for this suit and are an indispensable companion for extended rides: the touring gloves provide superior protection against wind and weather and the breathable GORE-TEX X-TRAFIT membrane reliably keeps out water and cold. Leather reinforcements, highly abrasion-resistant SuperFabric® and a soft knuckle protector round off the robust overall package, while the goatskin leather palm, thumbs and index fingers with tactile leather for smartphone operation ensure a high level of comfort and ease of use. They are already available in the colour anthracite and will be available in the new colour olive in 2026.

    The GS Tabernas GORE-TEX boot in black and olive was specially developed for off-road and on-road use. A modern enduro boot made of leather with plastic elements that offers a perfect balance of high comfort and optimum protection. Thanks to the PTFE-free GORE-TEX membrane, the boot is breathable and waterproof. The internal lacing system and two external buckles ensure stability and mobility. An oil and fuel-resistant VIBRAM® tread sole ensures optimum grip even on loose surfaces. Shin protection and shift lever protection ensure safety and comfort. The OrthoLite insole offers a high level of comfort and temperature-regulating properties. The iconic light design of the BMW R 1300 GS is taken up as a graphic in the shin guard and heel cap.

    The waterproof GS Takyr GORE-TEX sneaker made from a 3D knitted fabric in black and blue combines functionality and comfort and is perfect for the road and outdoor activities. The breathable and waterproof PTFE-free GORE-TEX membrane defies all weathers. The stable, oil and fuel-resistant VIBRAM® Traction Lug sole offers lateral stability and optimum grip, even on loose ground. Thanks to the high-quality materials, the shoe not only offers protection from wind and weather, but also excellent cushioning and durability. The FREELOCK quick-release system ensures an optimum fit. The side zipper on the inside allows easy entry. A large TPU gearshift, toe and side protection offer comprehensive safety and comfort. The OrthoLite insole offers temperature-regulating properties.

    The GS Rallye Carbon helmet (ECE 22.06 homologated) offers state-of-the-art safety technology and is based on the design of the GS models. The innovative MIPS Integra TX® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) reduces the rotational movement of the head in the event of an impact and reduces the risk of injury. Thanks to two helmet shell sizes, the M-Forge® carbon/aramid-fibre mix helmet shell is only as large as is actually necessary. The helmet is available in black and in the Tramontana, Trophy, Calama, Lima and Nasca designs.

    The GS Rallye helmet (ECE 22.06 homologated) is another ideal companion for on- and off-road adventures. An efficient ventilation system ensures optimum climate comfort. Here too, the helmet shell made of glass fibre-reinforced M-Forge® is available in two sizes and is therefore only as large as necessary. It is available in white, matt gray, black and neon yellow.

    Both helmet variants offer impact absorption values and a safety performance at the highest level and very balanced aerodynamics on and off-road as well as a Pull Rescue system for removing the cheek pads before removing the helmet (in the event of an accident). The infinitely adjustable sun visor as well as the specially developed visor mechanism with quick release and the removable helmet shield with self-locking mechanism offer the greatest possible ease of use.

    The Pinlock 120 XLT® inner lens ensures perfect anti-fog protection. The outer visor has a scratch-resistant coating. The chin section with dust filter has a removable flap for maximum air flow for off-road use. Both helmet models can be upgraded with the newly developed BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide communication system.

    The GS Rallye GORE-TEX jacket (protection class AA) with a functional, quick-drying and breathable material blend is perfect for off-road and on-road use. The clever ventilation options on the chest, back, shoulders and arms as well as the AirVent insert in the front area as an additional ventilation option guarantee a high level of comfort in warm to moderate temperatures.

    Thanks to the waterproof 3-layer laminate GORE-TEX outserts with a 28,000 mm water column (included with the blue colour - optionally available with the black colour of the jacket), the jacket offers outstanding performance even in bad weather. The integrated storm hood in the collar of the outserts keeps wind, weather and dirt out of the collar, while the soft fabric part acts as a storm hood under the helmet for additional warmth. The waterproof GORE-TEX outer material defies bad weather. A specially developed carrying system allows the jacket to be worn like a rucksack, leaving your hands free, which is convenient and comfortable for city tours or breaks. The jacket is available for men and women in blue/red and black. It is complemented by the optimally ventilated

    GS Rallye trousers – sold with or without an outsert (according to the colour logic of the jacket).

    The GS Rallye gloves, made from a lightweight, breathable material mix in blue/red, are the ideal companion for all bikers who ride off-road in warm temperatures. The backhand is made of elastic textile in combination with goatskin for ideal comfort. The large knuckle protection is ideally prepared for the stresses and strains of off-road use while the kangaroo leather palm with reinforcements offers maximum grip. The summer glove with long cuff is also available in black and sand.

    The GS Rallye GORE-TEX gloves, available in black, are also designed for off-road use. The goatskin leather palm provides best possible grip. A large knuckle shell made of hard plastic, lined with shock-absorbing foam, protects against impacts. The all-season gloves with a long cuff for road and off-road use are windproof, waterproof and breathable thanks to the GORE-TEX membrane and offer an optimum fit. The gloves are also available in anthracite/white.

    The GS Trophy GORE-TEX jacket (protection class AA) in blue/red has been uncompromisingly developed for sporty and active riding, even off the beaten track. The extremely lightweight, robust and highly elastic polyamide softshell technology with innovative ventilation options ensures a comfortable fit in high temperatures. Together with the supplied very robust 3-layer GORE-TEX laminate outer jacket (water column 28,000 mm) the GS Trophy GORE-TEX jacket is a comfortable companion even at low temperatures. As part of the Adventure collection, it features the iconic light design of the BMW R 1300 GS as a graphic element. The outer jacket can also be worn separately as an outdoor jacket. As an additional highlight the jacket features an integrated pocket for the Hydra TrinkPak for physically demanding rides. The GS Trophy GORE-TEX trousers in blue provide the perfect complement and have also been uncompromisingly developed for sporty and active riding. The extremely lightweight, robust and elastic softshell technology with innovative ventilation and the GORE-TEX outer shell ensure a pleasant climate.

    Sporty, ambitious motorcyclists as well as racetrack cracks will find everything their biker heart desires in the Sport collection. For example, the Nitrous sneaker, a light and airy sneaker in BMW M Motorsport design made from a breathable 3D knitted fabric. It offers the best wearing comfort with very good impact absorption values. The comfortable, lightweight and oil- and fuel-resistant sole in a two-tone design with BMW Motorrad logo and "M" inlay makes it ideal for motorsport enthusiasts. The TPU-reinforced parts in particularly stressed areas, such as the toe and ankle, offer additional comfort and protection.

    With the Urban Mobility collection, BMW Motorrad offers practical and stylish products that are ideal for everyday motorcycling, but are also absolutely suitable for everyday use off the bike. Be it a stroll through town, shopping or just sitting in a café.

    Take the Tokyo GORE-TEX jacket in olive, for example. Thanks to the three-layer, windproof, waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX Pro 3-layer material (water column 28,000 mm), the AirVent ventilation system and the removable inner jacket, this comfortable parka in a streetwear look with a casual fit and dropped sleeves can be used all year round. The full-length front zipper offers a clever dual function: two waterproof outer pockets with the zipper open from the top and more legroom with the zipper open from the bottom. The Tokyo GORE-TEX jacket also features a detachable, adjustable hood and two inside pockets.

    The lightweight and airy Ginza sneaker made from a breathable 3D knitted fabric in black, blue and brown are a perfect match. It combines a sporty look with optimum comfort in dry weather. Thanks to the robust, lightweight and oil- and fuel-resistant sole with BMW Motorrad inlay, TPU-reinforced surfaces in the gearshift and toe area and excellent cushioning properties, the modern, sporty sneaker is ideally suited to the demands of everyday motorcycling. Thanks to a side zipper they are also easy to put on.

    With the Schwabing LTD Edition jacket (protection class AA), BMW Motorrad has reissued a classic in a limited edition. Each jacket is unique thanks to the embroidered serial number. The black jacket with the metal BMW emblem on the sleeve impresses with the highest material and manufacturing quality. Its premium, water-repellent and slightly elastic nubuck leather is hand-selected.  Ventilation options and two outside and three inside pockets maximise comfort and usability.

    The Grand Racer helmet (homologated in accordance with ECE 22.06) in the new colour matt black combines the charm of earlier motorcycle days with modern functionality. It not only goes along perfectly with the Schwabing LTD Edition jacket, but also with the BMW Motorrad Heritage models in general.

    What sets it apart from other helmets in retro design is above all its pleasant aeroacoustics. High-quality materials and details made of brass and copper complete the classic look. Thanks to four different helmet shell sizes, the Premium Heritage helmet is only as big as absolutely necessary in each size.

  2. Highend flip-up helmet with adventure DNA: The all new Touratech Aventuro Travel Carbon

    Posted on

    With the all new Aventuro Travel Carbon, Touratech presents an exciting new development in its successful flip-up helmet range. State-of-the-art materials, a practical design and extensive features make this premium helmet a comfortable companion – from holiday trips and adventure tours to everyday use.


    X-Pro Carbon: maximum strength with minimum weight
    The basis of the Aventuro Travel Carbon is a completely newly developed helmet shell made of X-Pro Carbon, a high-performance composite material with a fibre content of over 60 percent. Through the use of 3K carbon fibres (3,000 fibres per bundle), the material is exceptionally light with outstanding strength.
    Around 10 per cent lighter than conventional designs, the helmet shell is manufactured in two sizes to ensure the optimum ratio between the outer shell and EPS liner for each helmet size.


    Approved as a full-face and jet helmet (P/J homologation)
    The Aventuro Travel Carbon of course complies with the current ECE 22-06 standard. In addition, it is double homologated (P/J), which means that it can also be legally ridden with the chin section raised.
    Locking is realised by a precise mechanism made of stainless steel components, which ensures accurate engagement, durability and ease of use – even in dusty and dirty conditions.


    Comfort and climate: interior design with X-MART Dry and Morpho Fit system
    The interior of the Aventuro Travel Carbon is designed for maximum comfort. The X-MART Dry material offers excellent moisture management and a pleasantly dry feel, even in high temperatures.
    The Morpho Fit system allows for individual adjustment in the cheek area, while the 3D-shaped inner padding and integrated multi-channel ventilation ensure gentle skin contact and optimum air circulation. The lining is, of course, removable and washable.
    The seamless, removable inner lining incorporates multi-channel ventilation for optimal air circulation. Fresh air is supplied via a highly efficient ventilation system with two closable inlet openings at the front and two outlets at the rear of the helmet. The central element of the air management system is the patented Mid Airflow Chamber, which creates a volume between the inner and outer EPS shells.
     

    Optimised acoustics
    Touratech has comprehensively optimised the Aventuro Travel Carbon in terms of aeroacoustics. The helmet shell shape with integrated rear spoiler, the flow-optimised chin guard and the lightweight helmet visor minimise turbulence and wind noise.
    The visor closure with double Silent Travel Seal and newly developed anti-noise cheek and neck pads provide additional peace and quiet in the helmet, enabling effective sound insulation. The result is a pleasantly quiet background noise level that promotes concentration and reduces fatigue on long journeys.
     

    Features for travel and adventure
    The panoramic field of vision provides excellent round view and unrestricted sight of the landscape. An integrated, continuously adjustable sun visor provides reliable protection in changing light conditions. The adjustable peak reduces glare when the sun is low.
    The Touratech Aventuro Travel Carbon is designed for use with modern intercom systems; the Nexx X.COM3 and X.COM3 PRO systems can be seamlessly integrated. The scope of delivery also includes two action cam mounts – for mounting on the side and on top.

  3. Nolan - New Iannone replica helmet available now.

    Posted on

    New Iannone replica helmet available now

    • Nolan’s evolution in the world of racing today tells a new chapter in its history, confirming a sporting and human bond between the brand and the rider representing the WorldSBK, Andrea Iannone;
    • Two models are available in the REPLICA version: X-804 RS UC REPLICA IANNONE and N60-6 SPORT REPLICA IANNONE, both featuring the graphics chosen by Andrea for his Superbike career, which represent a phoenix accompanied by the words “LIKE A PHOENIX I RISE FROM THE ASHES”;

    Nolan’s journey in the world of global track competitions began right from the start. A path that has accompanied the brand both in terms of its sporting image and product development. The participation of the official riders over the course of years and championships, have contributed to the process of continuous technical improvement and exploration of new solutions.

    The journey continues and transforms itself. The riders become true Nolan ambassadors, ready to tell two-wheel enthusiasts about fundamental values such as authenticitypassion and innovation.

    An important bond between Nolan and Andrea Iannone, born at the beginning of 2024 with the official return of the rider to the world of racing, precisely in the Superbike Championship. The union between a brand capable of combining style and sportiness and a tough rider, with a strong and combative character, who has been able to undertake a new competitive path, putting himself on the line and finding important stimuli to always remain at the top of performance and desire to conquer. Two examples of strength and courage.

    The result is a helmet that has been eagerly awaited and strongly requested by enthusiasts, available in two versions with different specifications, both featuring the graphics of the X-804 model that the rider wears in the race today. A clear message that lies behind the image of the phoenix drawn on the shell, combined with the wording “LIKE A PHOENIX I RISE FROM THE ASHES”: an invitation to never stop, continuing to feed ourselves at every moment with the fire that burns inside each of us.

    Each graphic line is a symbol of a deep transformation that reflects a present built with ambition and dedication. Andrea Iannone today is a high-performance and spectacular rider, capable of representing Nolan values with charisma and energy, on and off the track, becoming a true Ambassador.

    X-804 RS UC REPLICA IANNONE and N60-6 SPORT REPLICA IANNONE, designed to interpret two different ways of experiencing your passion for motorbikes, both on the track and on the road.

    The two Nolan REPLICA IANNONE helmets differ from each other both in terms of their positioning in the collection, even though they both belong to the Speeding segment, in the technical specifications and, above all, in the important graphic details that are expressed on the two shells while respecting the surface and the components applied to the helmets themselves.

    X-804 RS UC REPLICA IANNONE: Fibre and Character

    This version of the REPLICA helmet, very similar to the original worn by Andrea Iannone in the race, is the top-of-the-range full-face fibre Speeding version, customised with a glossy finish, exposed carbon fibre textures and exclusive graphic details:

    • the applied graphics, with the iridescent red, orange, yellow and white colours, alternate on the shell with parts of black carbon fibre that are also visible and with shiny parts, giving the helmet an even more aggressive and sporty personality;
    • the red that envelops the phoenix design, spreads across the entire upper part of the helmet, extending up to the spoiler attachment where the graphics continue;
    • the rear spoiler highlights a continuation of the graphics up to the extreme rear of the helmet, thus extending the customisation of the shell – it also features the Nolan logo and the XSeries word that identifies the fibre helmets in the collection;
    • the race number 29 is shown on the shiny rear shell (under the spoiler), where the words “LIKE A PHOENIX I RISE FROM THE ASHES” are also highlighted;
    • the shiny air intakes complete the details of this special version.

    X-804 RS UC is aimed at riders who demand the best in terms of performance, technology and presence to stand out on the track too. X-804 RS UC represents the essence of sport reinterpreted in Nolan style. It is not just an accessory capable of guaranteeing maximum protection and reliability, but it is a true ally for maximum performance, thanks to the combination of technology, aerodynamic research, quality materials and comfort. Once the Ultrawide visor is lowered, the only thought is to concentrate on the apex: the rear design is optimised for riding in racing trim, the internal padding guarantees maximum comfort and regulation of temperature and humidity. X-804 RS UC takes care of everything else with its peculiarities. The D-Ring closure confirms its sporty attitude.

    Now available in sizes 2XS to 3XL with a retail price of £649.99.

    N60-S SPORT REPLICA IANNONE: sporty soul, street heart

    The N60-6 Sport version is dedicated to motorcyclists with a sporty spirit but for road use, a helmet for every day. It is the interpretation of a full face helmet, designed by technology and by designer of Nolan thought of a daily use, but also for riders expressing the passion on a bike in the occasion of a tour around mountain corners the bends of the lake, or simply in the free time. In the REPLICA IANNONE version, the main image, namely the phoenix and the colours that animate it, as well as all the details, are offered in a matt finish:

    • the graphics are applied on the black matte Lexan polycarbonate shell; 
    • the rear spoiler is transparent smoke grey with matte inserts
    • the race number 29 is shown on the rear matte shell (under the spoiler), where the words “LIKE A PHONEIX I RISE FROM THE ASHES” are also inserted.

    Equipped with a large Ultrawide panoramic visor, Airbooster Technology ventilation system and Clima Comfort interiors made with eco-sustainable materials, N60-6 Sport puts motorcyclists in the best conditions for safe and enjoyable riding in all conditions. The visor is scratch-resistant, with a UV filter, Pinlock® ready and with anti-fog and anti-scratch treatments. It is flanked by the sun visor. Maximum comfort for those who wear glasses: the Eyewear Adaptive (EA) system is designed specifically for those who wear N60-6 Sport, without feeling any discomfort in the temporal area. The Microlock closure guarantees practicality and safety.

    Now available in sizes 2XS to 3XL with a retail price of £249.99.

    With the launch of the two REPLICA helmets, Nolan and Andrea Iannone celebrate authentic passion, resilience, dedication and a spirit of continuous evolution.

  5. Touratech engine guard Expedition XL for the BMW R 1300 GS

    Posted on

    Extra Large – the name says it all with the Touratech Expedition XL engine guard. Raised further at the front and sides and extended down to the collector, it offers even more comprehensive protection for the 1300 Boxer than the tried-and-tested standard version.

    Rock edges, tree trunks and constant impact from loose stones: the oil sump and engine housing are among the most vulnerable components when riding off-road. To ensure that your off-road adventure doesn't end prematurely in disaster, Touratech offers the Expedition XL engine guard for the BMW R 1300 GS and its sister model, the Adventure.

    Built for the toughest demands
    Manufactured from four-millimetre-thick aluminium, bent for maximum rigidity, welded and raised extra high at the front and sides, this top-of-the-range protector extends down to below the exhaust manifold. And it takes on all the challenges that off-road use has to offer. It protects against stone impact, distributes the forces in the event of a grounding over a large area to several screw-on points thanks to the stainless steel mounting plate, and glides smoothly over obstacles thanks to its shape and the plastic rails on the underside.

    Maximum functionality
    Of course, the Touratech developers focused not only on maximum protection, but also on optimum usability. Thanks to the clever design, lean angle is fully retained, and ground clearance is only minimally reduced compared to a completely unprotected engine.
    If the Touratech Expedition XL engine guard needs to be removed for maintenance work, this is no problem either. The critical screw heads are securely countersunk and additionally covered by the replaceable plastic rails.
    The Touratech Expedition XL engine guard is your reliable companion when the road ends and the adventure begins. It is the logical evolution of the proven Expedition engine guard for particularly tough use on long-distance trips or off-road.
