3. Wave ‘Bonjour’ to Summer in the new gloves from Furygan

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 13th Aug 2020

   Here are two of the new gloves available in the new spring/summer collection from Furygan – like the complete Furygan range, both gloves have been developed in conjunction with Furygan’s Motion Lab – the internal development research centre at Furygan headquarters in Nîmes, France – and are available now.

   Jet D3O and Jet D3O Lady 

   The CE-approved Jet D3O and Jet D3O Lady gloves combine an enviable price tag and specification list. They feature a fully leather palm, D3O protection for the metacarpals and reinforcement on the palm. The mix of textile and leather across the gloves allow for high levels of comfort and protection – with exposed zones during a crash carefully considered. There are Furygan Sensitive Science inserts on the fingertips, meaning that touchscreen devices can be used without removing the gloves.  

   The Jet D3O glove, priced at £39.99, is available in size S-3XL in black/white, black/red, black/blue, black/fluo green, black/orange and black/fluo yellow. The Jet D3O Lady glove, priced at £34.99, is available in sizes XS-XL and in a choice of black and black/pink. 

   Volt 

   With dynamic colours and high-quality finishing touches, it’s clear to see that the CE-approved Volt gloves have been inspired by Furygan’s racing heritage and expertise. Made from a mix of textile and leather, Volt gloves feature a 100% leather palm, metacarpal protection and reinforcements across the glove as well as pre-shaped fingers. They have Furygan Sensitive Science on the fingertips so that touchscreen devices can be used without needing to remove them. 

   Available in sizes S-3XL with an RRP of £59.99, the Volt gloves are  in UK dealers now.

4. Mitas to enhance the extremely popular E-07 tyre range

   Posted on 12:00pm Tuesday 28th Apr 2020

   Mitas, part of the Trelleborg Group, enhances its offering to the trail/adventure segment of the motorcycle market, and due to popular demand reintroduces a number of sizes to its E-07 range alongside the successful E-07+ to give riders in this dynamic segment even more choice.

   Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Vice President Two Wheels and Specialty Tyres, explains: “The E-07 is a true 50% on-road and 50% off-road adventure tyre. Over its long years of service it has continued to be one of the most desirable choices for adventure riders, as it combines road riding performance and wear with more adventurous off-road trips. Due to its hardwearing compound and optimal performance on- and off-road, the E-07 remains a preferred choice on many journeys across the world.”
