Mitas extends its mousse range with a new rally version to meet the specific demands of rally racers from all over the world.
Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Vice President Two Wheels at Trelleborg Wheel Systems, explains: “When developing the new Mitas Rally Mousse, we had in mind that racers are seeking a durable and versatile mousse option, which will deliver constant performance throughout the whole race.”
The complete development process was supported by professional racers in various weather conditions and terrains. The most demanding test was performed by rider Simon MarÄiÄ during the arduous 2022 Dakar Rally. He reviewed the mousse in an online video after he successfully finished the race: “This new Mitas Rally Mousse really proved its superior performance in terms of versatility, and resulted in the perfect choice for different types of rally from short to long ones.” Link to the video
The new Mitas Rally Mousse features a durable compound that is suitable to high speeds and resistant to heat and sharp objects, delivering superior performance on vertical technical sections. It is designed for use in combination with a range of Mitas Rally tyres including E-12 RALLY STAR, E-13 RALLY STAR, C-21 STONEKING and C-17 STONEATER Dakar, and available in the 140/80-18 rear and 90/90-21 front sizes
In addition to the Mitas Rally Mousse, the Mitas mousse range includes products for Motocross and Enduro, available in several 18 to 21-inch sizes and in three different versions: from a standard for motocross and cross country, to a soft version for enduro and an extreme version for technical extreme enduro sections.

Following a cancer diagnosis, award-winning filmmaker Peter Starr found the key to his long-term healthy survival was “living a purposeful life”. Much of his world was centred around motorcycling so he constructed the next part of his life to redefining and reinventing his motorcycling passion by planning to ride in 12 countries where he had never been before, or at least had never ridden a motorcycle there.
Now the renowned film-maker shares those stories in a brilliant publication Motorcycle Traveler.
Starr’s first adventure was to Taiwan in 2011, then further on and off-road trips followed to Israel, New Zealand, Australia, Finland, Poland, Ecuador, Canada, Scotland, Wales/Isle of Man, Romania and Thailand. Being a film maker, he also had considerable experience with a still camera, something that is immediately obvious from the quality of photographs contained in this coffee table large format book.
In this publication, Starr has communicated the marvels and curiosities that await a motorcycle tourist. Beautifully illustrated with photographs that are a fitting compendium to the fluency of the manuscript, in many ways this is a fitting follow-up to Starr’s previous book Taking It To The Limit – 20 Years of Making Motorcycle Movies, and hopefully the harbinger of many more books to come from the author.
Motorcycle Traveler is accompanied with a free DVD showing clips from many of Starr’s most popular films. The book, with 50 signed copies available, costs £45 and is available from www.mortonsbooks.co.uk

Take the comfort of a touring boot, the safety of a sports boot and the robustness of an MX boot – the result is the Touratech Destino Ultimate GTX. This unique motorcycle boot, developed by the clothing specialists at REV’IT!, combines innovative technologies in a completely new concept.
In keeping with the innovative technologies, the unmistakable design of this high-end boot skilfully combines the look and feel of state-of-the-art materials with the design language of classic offroad boots.
Protection and mobility
Maximum protection for offroad use is provided by the Dynamic Support Frame (DSF) with its three components: calf support, heel cup and stability frame. Overstretching of muscles and tendons is effectively prevented by this ingenious design, while the integrated joint guarantees optimal mobility.
To also protect the foot from impacts, the DSF cooperates closely with the reinforced toe area, the SEESOFT™ protector insert in the tongue, and the shin plate.
BOA Fit closure system: Robustness and comfort
The BOA Fit system opens up a new dimension in closure convenience. This innovative lacing technology combines the perfect fit of the boot with extremely fast closing and opening. Just press the button to activate, turn it until the boot fits perfectly - and then simply pull the button up to release.
The BOA Fit closure system is characterised by its extraordinary robustness, which makes it the superior solution even for tough offroad use. The entire lacing area is also covered so that dust and mud are effectively kept out.
Specially developed Vibram sole
The Apex® sole, developed together with Vibram, offers functionality and comfort not only when riding but also when walking. It has different zones to fulfil different requirements. One area is specifically optimised for operating the foot brake lever, while another is responsible for providing strength and still others ensure the best possible walking comfort.
Waterproof thanks to Gore-Tex
Under the intelligent upper material mix of high-strength SuperFabric®, robust Omega leather, and supple nubuck, a Gore-Tex membrane guarantees absolute waterproofness with simultaneous breathability.
The microfibre lining, which ensures rapid moisture transport, also makes an important contribution to a pleasant foot climate.
The OrthoLite® X40 insole made of open-pored PU foam combines high cushioning values with the best breathability and can be washed when necessary.
Made in Europe, this premium Touratech Destino Ultimate GTX boot is certified to the highest possible level for motorcycle protective equipment EN 13634:2017 Level 2.
The Destino Ultimate GTX is available in nine sizes from 39 to 47 at Touratech support points and in the online shop.

This year, the MOTORRAD magazine has once again presented its traditional Best Brand Awards. Touratech won this prestigious award in the "Accessories / Conversions" class with a clear lead. And not for the first time.
The Best Brand Award is the most important consumer award in the motorcycle industry. Every year since 2006, the MOTORRAD magazine has asked its readers to vote for the best brands in the motorcycle accessories sector. This prestigious prize is awarded in 22 categories, with over 50,000 readers taking part in the voting.
Always out there in front: Touratech. The accessory specialists from the Black Forest have won a total of 23 awards in the categories of luggage systems, tank bags, conversions, customising, attachments and seats over the last 17 years, making Touratech one of the most successful brands on the market.
And this year as well, Touratech was able to impress the motorcycle-enthusiastic readers with the high quality of the products made in Niedereschach. Touratech won the award in the hotly contested "accessories / conversions" segment. "It is particularly pleasing that we were able to carve out a five percent lead over the runner-up this year," explains Touratech CMO Martin Wickert, not without pride. "Through this, we have once again proven our expertise in motorcycle conversions and brought the award in the "conversions" class to Niedereschach for the tenth time".
This renewed success is due to the boundless passion that over 350 employees at the Niedereschach location put into the development and manufacture of Touratech products – and, of course, to the readers of the MOTORRAD magazine, who, like countless motorcycle travellers worldwide, trust in Touratech brand products.
"We would like to express our sincere thanks to the readers of the MOTORRAD magazine – as well as to our loyal customers – for the great trust they place in our products," says Martin Wickert. "This important award shows that the motorcycle scene shares our enthusiasm for our products."
And they are not the only ones: numerous motorcycle manufacturers such as BMW, KTM and Husqvarna also opt for the legendary Touratech quality and have products for their original accessories programme manufactured by Touratech.
To be able to offer customers maximum advice and service, Touratech is further expanding its sales structure. In addition to eight locations in Germany and direct sales in numerous European countries, more than 50 partners worldwide form a reliable network of contact points for motorcycle travellers.
