A new arrival has recently appeared from KTM, called the Team Soft Shell jacket. Instead of the usual orange/blue this new one is in the Team choice of orange/black, very nice indeed, we say. It’s also the same one as worn in the MotoGP paddock, adding even more creditability.

You’ll also notice a couple of new 2025 lanyards to increase the “I’m in the pits” image, and a pair of new rubberized key fobs. These are just a few of the new items from the ever-expanding KTM book of desirable items; go visit the guys from RAD-KTM to observe even more new offerings.

Price: Soft Shell R2,535    Lanyards R132   Key fobs R116.
