Jopa Racing adds NEXX and more

Dutch importer Jopa Racing (Sidi, Furygan, Rusty Stitches, Knox and other brands) hasn't stood still since announcing distribution for Knox protectors and apparel earlier this year, with a slew of new additions as it prepares for the 2024 season.

Added recently is distribution of the Portuguese made NEXX brand of helmets. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, co-owner Matthijs Verbei told IDN that "the NEXX brand fits perfectly into the philosophy of Jopa Racing Products because NEXX Helmets is one of the last existing European manufacturers with 100% of production still in Portugal."

Distributed in over 60 countries worldwide, the NEXX range is broad - from street, touring, sports and MX, to scooter, commuter and flip-ups, and Verbei added that "our excellent presence on the German market [Jopa has its own subsidiary distribution business near Münster in northwestern Germany] in addition to our home market here in the Netherlands makes Jopa a very interesting choice for vendors and brand owners who want to take their distribution to another level.

"We were attracted to partnering with NEXX because they are a genuinely innovative brand and we here at Jopa see ourselves as a natural collaborator for brands that are bringing new concepts to the market."

One of the many new in 2023 helmets launched by NEXX, the X.R3R HAGIBIS in X-PRO CARBON carbon fibre and translucent varnish in purple tones.

Another addition for Jopa Racing is the 'Vulcanet' brand of cleaning wipes - "a multifunctional product that works without water - replacing traditional motorcycle cleaning materials such as water, sponges, cleaning products, buckets, brushes, chamois leather, solvents for asphalt, rim cleaner, glass cleaner, products to remove insects, non-recyclable packaging and litres of waste water - Vulcanet wipes produce fantastic results and are a very environmentally-friendly, efficient and convenient cleaning solution".

Also new at Jopa is Inuteq - a Dutch cooling products supplier - including body cooling sleeves, bandanas and vests for motorcycling and a range of other outdoor (and indoor) uses. "Multifunctional products such as the Bodycool Smart - a comfortable and lightweight vest, designed to keep you cool outdoors. The cooling effect is based on the age-old principle of evaporative cooling. Easy to use, it just needs tap water in the cooling vest, and when you put it on, it will immediately start cooling your body.

"This cooling effect can last from eight hours to three days, depending on the ambient temperature, humidity and amount of airflow on the body. By using the vest, the temperature on your skin can drop between 5-15°C," says Verbei.

Another recent addition - Hiplok offers locks in different shapes and sizes - all designed and developed in the UK by a small, dedicated team of innovators and motorcyclists. Ideal for use on its own as short-term security in low-risk areas, or as additional security when combined with a cable, chain or D-lock.

Finally, Jopa has added Ryno Power - an American sports nutrition product that is very popular among motocross riders and is already used by many. Why not offer this in the Caféteria?

"Jopa Racing Product is pleased to announce the introduction of Ryno Power". Described as "the ultimate sports nutrition brand from America for motocross riders, Ryno Power is known for its high-quality nutritional supplements and products designed to enhance performance and power on the track".
