Munich. Even a very long winter with icy temperatures
can't change one thing: the growing sense of anticipation as the 2018
motorcycling season gets closer and closer. Man and machine can hardly
wait to get back on the road – or off the road. BMW
Motorrad provides support in preparing for the first spring
tours. The 2018 range of rider equipment comprises ideal products for
every climate zone and route as well as state-of-the-art safety
technology and cutting-edge design.
BMW Motorrad wishes all
riders an exciting, eventful an above all safe season in 2018. These
are the highlights of the 2018 rider equipment range:
Rallye suit – premium equipment for
globetrotters.
The latest generation of the
Rallye suit designed for off-road use is available
in two new colour combinations: Blue/Black and Grey. The material mix
of the premium suit reflects the very latest technology: the
functional fabric ProTechWool consists of polyamide and wool with a
carbon finish. It is compressed under pressure and heat, thereby
making it highly abrasion resistant. The elbows and knees now have
additional protection with ceramic dot prints. The Rallye suit is
fitted with removable NP2 protectors with the addition of the new
enlarged NP Pro back protector.
One particular innovation in the Rallye suit is the button-in
jacket insert. It is waterproof and robust enough to be worn as an
outsert over the suit so as to provide protection from soiling and
moisture. A waterproof zip-in insert is available for the trousers.
The suit is excellently ventilated due to ventilation zips and an
expansive vent on the back. Other updates for the Rallye suit include
a number of details ranging from a small, concealed interior pocket at
the waistband for cash and cards through to an extended leather patch
on the insides of the knees for an excellent grip on the fuel tank
when riding off-road.
GS Dry suit – waterproof adventurer for men and women.
The GS Dry
suit has an impressively distinctive down-to-earth
look that is emphasised with the new colours Black and Grey. The suit
is now made of a new basic material: a high-strength mixture of
CORDURA 500 and polyamide developed specially by BMW Motorrad itself.
The breathable fabric offers an extremely dense structure. For
significantly increased abrasion resistance, a PU layer with ceramic
particles has been used to reinforce the sensitive areas.
The GS Dry suit is unrivalled in terms of climate control: it is
the only garment of its kind to offer special waterproof-bonded zips
at the chest and back, opening not just the upper material but the
membrane, too. This ensures a direct and highly effective ventilation
and air extraction for the upper body. In addition to NP2 protectors
of the latest generation, the GS Dry suit now also features the long
version of the new NP Pro back protector for maximum safety. The GS
Dry suit is available in identical colours for men and women for a
perfect partner look.
Atlantis suit – unique, top-quality piece of equipment for all
weathers.
Every one is a unique
specimen because the all-weather leather touring suit Atlantis
is made of hand-picked breathable nubuck leather which
becomes increasingly attractive the more it is used. It comes solely
from young pasture-raised bulls in the Alpine region and offers a high
degree of elasticity and thickness – 1.2 to 1.4 millimetres – as well
as maximum abrasion resistance. For the 2018 collection, this
luxurious suit undergoes a particularly elaborate manufacturing
process: low-impact, sustainable mineral tanning produces a leather
that is extremely soft and skin-friendly but still highly robust. The
special hydrophobing applied during the manufacturing process makes it
extremely water-repellent while still fully retaining the leather's
natural breathable properties. As such the Atlantis suit ensures
excellent climate comfort.
Comfort Fit with stretch zones in the shoulder and back area as
well as above the knees and in the rear waistband ensures that the
Atlantis suit offers what really counts on long tours: freedom of
movement and improved wear comfort. The Atlantis suit's safety concept
includes impact-absorbing protectors at the shoulders, elbows, hips
and knees as well as the new NP Pro back protector. The Atlantis suit
is available for men and women in the colour Anthracite.
Street Air Dry jacket and Street Air vest – the perfect airbag
system.
Optimum impact protection in
no more than 85 milliseconds – this is all the time it takes for the
BMW Motorrad Street Air vest by Alpinestars to
precisely detect an accident situation and inflate the integrated
airbag. The high-tech system does not require any sensors on the
motorcycle itself: it works entirely autonomously. The airbag protects
the upper body where it is especially sensitive in the event of a
fall: at the back, rib cage, collarbone and shoulders.
The second component of the Street Air system
is a matching jacket with API preparation (Active Protection
Inflatable) – either the Street Air Dry jacket or the
StreetGuard Air jacket. Both support the
functionality of the vest. The jacket and vest are available
separately and in different sizes in order to ensure an optimum fit
for all driver physiques.
System 7 Carbon helmet – the high-end
all-rounder.
The BMW helmet developers
and designers are proud to present one of the safest and yet most
versatile motorcycle helmets available. The System 7 Carbon
helmet made of solid carbon fibre with reinforcement inserts
meets the very highest safety standards, providing excellent impact
absorption levels and optimum stiffness. Integrated neck straps ensure
that the helmet remains in the optimum position on the head in the
event of an accident. Only very few helmets boast this very special
safety feature.
The stylish helmet can be converted into an air-permeable jet
helmet in no time: the chin section is easy to remove without tools –
a unique feature that users love when out for a relaxed tour on a hot day.
Meanwhile the double-glazed visor guarantees a clear view even
when visibility is difficult – with an anti-fog effect on the inside
and scratch-resistant coating on the outside – and there is also an
integrated sun shield with continuously variable adjustment function.
The BMW Motorrad Communication System was developed for maximum
convenience and further enhanced safety. The System 7 Carbon is
naturally fitted with the relevant preparation.
In spite of its extensive fittings, the System 7 Carbon helmet
is a comfortable lightweight at just 1590 g or 1690 g, depending on
the size. It is available in the non-metallic colours Black and Light
White, in the metallic colours Graphic Matt and Silver, and in the
colour schemes Spectrum Fluor, Prime and Moto.
Functional clothing – smart underwear and clever
jackets.
Highly breathable,
moisture-transporting and designed in close-fitting style as is
suitable for motorcycling – BMW Motorrad functional underwear
perfectly meets motorcyclists' needs: the Summer
collection provides the necessary temperature balance in the hot
weather, while Thermo keeps the rider warm when
travelling on frosty days.
BMW offers another highly functional layer along with an
ingenious feature in the fleece jacket Ride, the
windbreaker Ride and the jacket
PCM: all jackets have a practical transverse zip in the
extended back section. This allows the motorcycle jacket and trousers
to be connected by the zip without the jacket having to be tucked
awkwardly and uncomfortably into the trousers.
MW Motorrad Fan Collection – Make Life a
Ride.
BMW Motorrad presents the new
Style KIT Collection for all fans of the brand. It
is available right away, offering high-quality and above all authentic
leisure wear for him and her. With stylish designs, discreet branding
and powerful messages such as "Make Life a Ride", the

The range includes caps, shirts, hoodies and exclusive leather
accessories such as vintage belts, rugged wallets and even a
magnificent penknife with olive wood handle and leather belt sheath –
a particularly attractive gift idea.
