Parts Europe adds Sweden's SKF, German John Doe and French AXP brands
Wasserliesch, Germany based international distributor Parts Europe has continued its regular new product programme with the addition of the Swedish SKF seals and bearings range, the German John Doe apparel brand and the French AXP Products MX/Enduro motorcycle protection hard parts line.
"Every seam, every pocket, every single centimetre of fabric has been thought through down to the last detail and tested under maximum loads before it goes out on the road CE-certified".
XTM-Fiber is made up of an outer extremely abrasion-resistant layer of DuPont Kevlar fibres and an integrated Lycra stretch component - "ensuring a perfect balance between the best possible protection and maximum comfort. The Twolayer with XTM-Fiber also has a breathable Coolmax blended fibre on the inside for a temperature-regulating effect on the body's response to the riding climate".
John Doe apparel is knee, hip and back XTM protectors-ready. Flat and 100% made from polyurethane, this viscoelastic foam "adapts flexibly to every movement and has extremely good shock-absorbing properties, even in the event of a high-speed impact".
Founded in 1999 by Pierre Dugardin and based near Bordeaux, AXP Racing is an MX, Enduro and Quad motorcycle and powersports vehicle protection parts specialist, renowned for the robust construction of their strong, lightweight aluminium and HDPE plastic components.
HDPE plastic is 30 to 40% lighter than aluminium, tougher than expensive carbon fibre, and "allows riders to glide over all kinds of rocks, stones and whatever else might get in their way". The 'Radiator Brace' radiator guard was developed for motocross and classic enduro, is made of 4 mm thick aluminium and fits the respective bike without any need for modification.
Nowadays, extreme racing is becoming increasingly popular. To meet this trend, AXP Racing has also developed the new 'Xtrem Radiator Guards', consisting of a radiator cage made of 4 mm thick aluminium; the Xtrem version also contains a 6 mm thick HDPE grid that reinforces the protection. AXP also offers skid plates (including ADV), reinforced chain guides and trail racks.
