Munich, 26 February 2020. With the XRide suit, BMW
Motorrad demonstrates how maximum comfort can be combined with
comprehensive protection and a stylish, sporty look. The close fit and
striking design make for an exciting look. The XRide Pro men's jacket,
which is limited to 1,500 pieces, is also a real eye-catcher.
All elements of the XRide are characterised by great freedom of
movement. This is achieved by body-hugging and effective protection as
well as a strap technology specially designed for the XRide. Here the
areas requiring protection have been wrapped with an elastic fabric
tape to provide support. This ensures greater flexibility and at the
same time improves the fit of the protectors without neglecting
wearing comfort. The suit offers great freedom of movement, especially
in zones such as the arms, shoulders and knees thanks to accordion
stretch and ergonomic pleats in the form of specially positioned
leather cut-outs, achieving the ideal balance between safety and
dynamics. Smartly designed details provide the required functionality.
The leather of the jacket is lined with elastic and
abrasion-resistant polyamide at the shoulders and arms as part of the
Ergonomic Concept. The shoulders are fitted with close-fitting NP3
protectors, the elbows, hips and knees are protected with NP2
protectors and the back is shielded by NP-Pro long protectors. Cowhide
leather inserts, which offer further protection, are located in
possible fall zones and on the inside of the trousers. Reflectors on
the upper arms, the front of the jacket, the knees and the lower leg
area ensure good visibility in traffic.
With four front pockets, one of which is waterproof, one back
pocket and two inside pockets, the jacket provides enough storage
space for the odds and ends of motorcycling life. The AirVent system
at the front with double zipper and the 3D spacer fabric at the back
ensure perfect air conditioning in all weather conditions. An
additional zipper at the leg bottoms provide further comfort. The
trousers have a total of three pockets, one of which is an inside
secret pocket.
The outsert jacket with integrated storm hood in the collar and
the outsert trousers with long side zippers make putting the rider
equipment on an easy affair. Both feature a small pack size, close fit
and excellent durability thanks to abrasion-resistant print in
stressed areas.
With its white cowhide inserts on the arms, the limited XRide
Pro men's jacket is a very special highlight in the rider equipment
range. The leather is lined with elastic textile material and thus
ensures greater flexibility in these areas. The eye-catching shoulder
protectors made of a plastic-steel combination with BMW Motorrad
branding make for additional visual highlights.
The XRide suit is available for men in sizes 46 to 66, 98 to 118
and 24 to 32, for women in sizes 34 to 48. The XRide Pro jacket is
available for men in sizes 46 to 60.
