Endurists' outfit for on-road and off-road use - the helmet Enduro, the jacket Protection and the boot Rallye GS2

Munich. Right on time for the launch of the off-road bike HP2, BMW
Motorrad is presenting sample items from the forthcoming collection -
the helmet Enduro and the jacket Protection, both of which will be
brought to market in the spring of 2006. The helmet is expected to be
available at a price of 380 Euros, the protective jacket costing 300
Euros. The boot Rallye GS2, which offers optimised leg and foot
protection, is due to go on sale in the autumn of this year and will be
priced at 290 Euros. The helmet Enduro: This futuristically designed
helmet offers the highest degree of safety. The materials used -
fibreglass, carbon and KEVLAR® laminate are genuine
"lightweights" amongst high-quality materials. Thanks to the
high tensile strength and crush resistance of these materials, the
helmet is exceptionally well reinforced whilst at the same time
remaining sufficiently flexible. Particular attention was paid to
aerodynamics when developing the helmet. Whether with or without a
shade, the helmet has outstanding aerodynamic characteristics. The
helmet Enduro will be available in three configurations to suit the
rider's personal preference - that is either with shade and visor,
without shade and with visor or with shade and without visor. The
jacket Protection: The breathable jacket Protection, which is made of
elastic net fabric and DuPont Coolmax®, is particularly suitable
for use in enduro motor sport. Outstanding damping characteristics of
the removable protectors, a new development by BMW, are the result of
stringent tests. The body is well protected without restricting the
freedom of movement of the sports-minded rider. Thanks to the use of
stretch fabric, the jacket adapts to all body movements and prevents
the protectors from slipping in the event of a fall. Due to the
application of the BMW Motorrad back protector 2, which has already
proven successful on the market, the back is well protected against
bruises, abrasions or even fractures. The boot Rallye GS2: The
successor to the boot Rallye GS1 provides optimisation in dealing with
two factors crucial to concentration and safety when riding a
motorcycle in any kind of terrain - namely protection and comfort. The
protector, which is worn on the shin, is adjustable in width. Straps on
the inside and outside of the boot Rallye GS2 permit ample adjustment
of the anatomically shaped protector. The integrated joint located on
the boot within the area of the ankle enhances comfort and wearability.
A 5mm thick midsole eases discomfort when standing on the foot rest and
protects the foot against bruising and twisting. The boot Rallye GS2,
weighing just 1.900 grams, will be available in sizes 38 to 48 and is
made entirely of full grain cowhide. Accessories: Endurists will be
pleased to know that during the coming season BMW Motorrad will be
offering enduro eyeglasses and an enduro shirt as matching accessories.
