BMW Motorrad Rider Equipment – 2017 Collection.

It has become a solid tradition for those who ride a BMW motorcycle: a first-class collection is available every time a new season gets underway. Motorcyclists have everything to look forward to in the 2017 season, too – BMW Motorrad Rider Equipment offers numerous new items that embody the latest style and – safety first – feature the very latest in terms of protection technology. Superb upgrades and updates of popular and well-established products round off the 2017 BMW Motorrad Rider Equipment portfolio.

With the System 7 Carbon helmet, BMW Motorrad presents a system helmet that can be converted into a jet helmet in no time without requiring the use of tools. This new product sets the benchmark in terms of safety, aerodynamics and versatility. Perfectly designed for seamless integration in this helmet, the new BMW Communication System offers smart technology that makes riding safer and more comfortable.

The entirely newly developed EnduroGuard suit is a professional enduro suit made from specially created materials that is highly impressive. In cooperation with Schoeller Textil it has been possible to develop the high-end material Dynatec, and thanks to ceraspace – extremely hard ceramic particles incorporated in a polymer matrix – this suit provides protection like virtually no other, even at threshold level. The special ceraspace coating is also to be found in the EnduroGuard gloves, making them the perfect match for the suit both visually and in terms of safety technology.

A revolutionary combination is offered by the Street AIR Dry jacket and the StreetGuard AIR jacket: these are no less than BMW Motorrad jackets combined with an airbag system – created in collaboration with Alpinestars – which detects accident situations within 85 milliseconds and takes full protective effect, without being connected to the motorcycle.

Among the seven new jackets to be found in the 2017 collection of BMW Motorrad rider equipment is the Ride quilted jacket. All jackets are prepared as standard to be combined with this quilted jacket, which is padded with PrimaLoft. Riders who wear it as an inner layer can rely on a highly functional companion in the event of rain and cold.

Numerous products in the new collection have been developed for the growing fan community in the Roadster & Heritage segment. This applies to the DarkNite premium suit as it does to the robust jackets DoubleR and BlackLeather as well as the Ride Kevlar jeans.

All products share first-class functionality, excellent quality and the very finest craftsmanship.

The 2017 Collection will be available in South Africa in the first quarter of 2017.
