There’s a new range of helmets in town, and they’re called Axor. They cover a large range from full-face street helmets to Adventure helmets, and there’s also a few interesting carbon fibre options too.

The one we have here is the new X-Cross Adventure version with a drop down tinted internal visor, and a clear external visor, which can be removed so goggles, can be used. We especially like the peak that has a retractable extension piece inserted into the end, a good idea for when the sun is low in the sky.

A very affordable range and well worth checking out their new site for more information.

Price: R2,650 +/-  www.axorhelmets.co.za

Just arrived in SA is this eye-catching, all-new, jacket from Berik’s 2026 collection. It’s most certainly ‘bright’ in this distinctive black/olive/hi-vis yellow colour and we applaud it.

It’s actually quite unique with a combined construction of mesh, leather, and solid panel materials. Inside there’s also a removeable Micro Dry waterproof and breathable membrane for those annoying rainy days. Of course there’s the usual CE approved body armour throughout. Apparently Riccardo Bernocchi, whoever he is, designed it because his name is printed on the label inside. He’s definitely completed a commendable job though, don’t ya think. And finally, it’s exceptional value for such a high quality item with a renown name.

Price: R2,700 +/-  Available from your nearest Berik retailer. Or try www.bikerswarehouse.co.za or www.bikekings.co.za.   

Berik is imported by TRP Distributors.

Here’s an extremely attractive, and bright, Adventure helmet from the LS2 stable. This fetching colour is Spire Matt Green and High-Vis yellow, which does have a hint of South Africa to it, don’t ya think? Ideal for long distance touring and trail riding due to its lightweight construction and high-end features.

It’s made from a material called HPFC, has a hypoallergenic laser-cut foam interior, and an integrated drop-down sun visor. It also comes with, inside the box, a helmet bag, padded helmet carry bag, and a Pinlock anti-fog visor insert. The MX701 Explorer also enjoys excellent ventilation from its many intake and exhaust ports to keep the rider cool on their travels, and you’ll certainly look very cool wearing this.

Price: R3,950 +/- (Optional smoke tinted visor + R280).  Available from www.bikerswarehouse.co.za or your nearest LS2 retailer. Imported by TRP Distributors.

Here’s a nice and affordable item from the KTM book of desirable items. This bottle is an exact replica of the one the riders use for their race teams, or so they say.

It’s made from a sturdy and flexible plastic with two different tops, as you can see. One is ‘like’ the top found on an Energade bottle for example, the other is an extended tube version with a mouthpiece similar to the one found on the ‘camel-pack’ hydrating backpacks. It also makes an ideal gift for your kids. Who can then show off their new KTM bottle at school, while containing their favourite beverage. 

Price: R386.  Go to: www.radktm.co.za for purchasing details and for all your KTM needs.
