The all-new Touratech DUSTRIDER: a textile suit for touring, long-distance rides and off-road action

With the all-new DUSTRIDER, Touratech rounds off its range of rider gear with a textile motorcycle suit designed for a particularly wide range of uses. The model combines excellent ventilation with a high level of protection and a versatile weather protection system.

Whether it’s brisk road trips, long-distance journeys or challenging off-road sections – the new Touratech DUSTRIDER is the all-rounder among textile suits. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience in the premium rider gear sector, Touratech’s developers have combined modern textile materials, high-performance protection and practical details into a functional design that appeals to touring riders as well as off-road-oriented adventure bikers.

Excellent ventilation on hot days
Large 3D mesh panels on the chest, sides, back and thighs give the Touratech DUSTRIDER excellent breathability. Additional ventilation openings in the shoulder area and a double zip at the cuffs improve air circulation, particularly when riding slowly and in high temperatures – perfect for demanding off-road adventures.
In terms of material selection and construction, Touratech relies on a functional combination of abrasion-resistant base fabric, elastic inserts and targeted reinforcements. Areas subject to particular wear, such as the seat, the inner thighs and other contact zones, are reinforced with ripstop fabric. Leather trim on the inner knees improves contact with the bike when standing or riding in a sporty, active style. Anti-slip materials in the seat area optimise grip on the seat.

High-quality protective gear
The Touratech DUSTRIDER comes as standard with state-of-the-art protectors, ensuring maximum safety both on and off-road:
•    Shoulders and elbows: Seeflex Level 2 protectors (EN 1621-1:2012)
•    Knees: Seeflex Level 2 protectors (EN 1621-1:2012), adjustable
•    Back: Seesoft Air Level 2 protector (EN 1621-2:2014)
•    Hips: Seesmart Level 1 protectors (EN 1621-1:2012)
Both the jacket and the trousers are certified to the particularly high protection class AA in accordance with EN 17092-3:2020.

Comfort, versatility and functional benefits
The Touratech DUSTRIDER is designed with a regular fit, offering the perfect balance between mobility off-road and a streamlined fit at higher speeds. Adjustment options on the sleeves, cuffs and waist allow for a personalised fit. Stretch panels in the shoulder and arm areas improve freedom of movement, whilst long leg zips make it easier to put the trousers on and access boot fastenings; the elasticated leg cuffs allow the trousers to be worn both over and inside the boots.
Another key focus during the development of the Touratech DUSTRIDER was on ensuring maximum practicality for everyday use. The system features a total of 15 pockets: eight on the jacket, four on the trousers and three on the waterproof outer jacket. Several of the pockets are water-repellent. Touratech has also incorporated a hydration bladder holder with a hose feed-through on the back of the jacket.

A smart weather protection system
And the Touratech DUSTRIDER isn’t just impressive in summer temperatures. For bad weather conditions, a suit made from high-quality three-layer Hydratex laminate is included. Particularly clever: the rain jacket and trousers – both waterproof and breathable – can be worn over or under the DUSTRIDER, depending on preference. This innovative ‘over-under’ concept offers users maximum flexibility in changing weather conditions.
The rain cover is designed to be compact when packed away and can be stowed away neatly. Long zips running the full length of the legs make it easy to put the rain trousers on, even when wearing boots. A two-way zip also allows access to the pockets of the trousers worn underneath.
Reflective panels on the chest, arms, back and legs improve visibility in the dark and in poor visibility conditions.

Remarkably versatile
The Touratech DUSTRIDER is designed for a wide range of uses. A special feature is that, for more off-road-oriented tasks, the protectors can be removed from the jacket and replaced with a separate protection vest. In this configuration, the jacket serves as an additional protective outer layer.
