KEis gloves


KEiS X900 Heated Outer Gloves

 

KEIS has updated its X900 dual control heated outer gloves for the 2014/15 winter season. One of the key changes to the glove is the inclusion of the option to power the heated panels from rechargeable battery packs, which tuck away neatly into pockets in each cuff, the option to power the gloves from the motorcycle’s battery is retained. This change means the gloves can be used off the bike for other outdoor pastimes.
The X900 gloves are supplied with a fused supply lead for connection direct to a 12v vehicle battery. A cigarette lighter socket adaptor is also available for vehicles fitted with a power socket, and current draw is one-amp.




Like the full range of KEiS heated clothing, the X900 gloves feature micro alloy-fibre technology, which is said to provide reliable and even heat, while allowing easy movement and feel. The heat is controlled by a button on the back of each glove, so the rider can tailor the temperature while on the move.
The gloves themselves are made up of a waterproof, breathable textile shell with leather palm reinforcement.

KEiS is making its X900 dual control heated outer gloves available in unisex sizes XS-XXL.

National Cycle

National Cycle announce Quantum hard coat upgrades

NATIONAL Cycle has announced an all-new line of Street Shield and Deflector Screen universal windshields with a "clean, minimalist look and the best materials on the market".



The Street Shield and Deflector Screen "have been the most popular small windshield designs since 1980. Riders favour their compact size and innovative, flexible mounting hardware that allows for a wide range of fitments and adjustability on the motorcycle".
National Cycle’s market-leading expertise in polycarbonate windshield-forming has led to the redesign, and upgrade of these new windshields as Quantum hard coated polycarbonate are widely regarded as the ultimate material for motorcycle windshields.
"Our state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, combined with this high quality material, gives these windshields outstanding clarity and strength characteristics unmatched by any windshield maker worldwide.



"They are 30 times more scratch resistant and 20 times more crack and impact resistant than aftermarket windshields made from acrylic, the most commonly used material".

Gilles Tooling

Gilles rear-sets contest

TO highlight the advanced design and engineering features of their popular AS31GT series rearsets, Gilles Tooling will again be staging the contest they ran on their booth at INTERMOT when they exhibit at EICMA.



The contest will be to see who could dismantle and reassemble their rearsets from a bike in the quickest time - the purpose being to showcase the ease of installation and the advanced ergonomics built into their designs.
Introduced as the company’s first ever product in 2000, the latest updated version, the AS31GT2, offers fitments for the BMW S1000Rs from 2014 and up, the S1000RR HP4s from 2012-2014, the S1000RR from 2009-2014, and the Triumph Speed Triple 675/R from 2013 and up.
Available in a selection of hard anodised finishes, the TUV approved design delivers multiple adjustment functionality - for the footpeg, the shifting travel and the footlength. CNC machined in lightweight aerospace grade 7075 aluminium, features include dual carbon heel protectors and "zero-play" double ball bearing gear and brake levers.
Also seen here is what Gilles are describing as being the "most unique sportbike footpeg design seen in decades".



Keith Code's California Superbike School has been training riders for 34 years at 117 tracks worldwide with graduates having won 52 world and national road racing championships. Gilles say that "all the experience and knowledge resulting from thousands of hours and miles of motorcycle training can be found concentrated in the Gilles Tooling California Superbike School footpeg collaboration".
Described as a unique, patented design with sloped footpeg ends made specifically for sportbike and track day enthusiasts, the design is said to "assist a rider with comfort while hanging off in a corner. The top surface is wide and rounded to offer a large contact area for the sole, with the best possible grip.
"Thanks to a serrated link to the motorcycle-specific turning joint, the footpegs can be precisely rotated and fixed in 15° steps, to find the perfect alignment." Gilles say they are designed to work with stock rearsets, which is a big plus, and that they can be mounted directly on to approximately 250 different motorcycle models - this makes them a superbly flexible product for dealers to stock, with their RGK2 series turning joints connecting the footpegs to the specific bike.
