Spyke Speed Evo one-piece suit, £1200 Miles covered/time: 6000/one year What’s good? This kangaroo and cowhide mix leather suit fits like the proverbial glove – that might be because it’s cut for Italians with broad shoulders and chest and stumpy legs. It’s mega comfortable and such a high spec. The carbon inserts on the outside of the shoulders, elbows and ...

Save £££s on motorcycle helmets It was average but never really measured up to other top of the range race lids. The X802 has broken into that top league though. The two biggest changes ...

Product name: AGV GP Tech, £399.99Miles covered/time: 5000/one yearContact: www.moto-direct.co.uk What’s good? Best thing about it: It’s a really close fitting lid, but not uncomfortably so, and as a result it feels like an absolute featherweight and the wind noise for a racing helmet is good quality. It’s performed perfectly from day one, survived a 2,300 mile two-day trip to ...

Compare and buy motorcycle helmets Worst thing about it: I got it to use primarily as a road lid with the visor to wear on a ...

Best thing about it: When your foot is in it, it’s one of the most comfortable boots I’ve worn. Loads a feel through the sole, very water-resistant for a non-WP boot and all the Puma kit has a certain stylish stigma attached. Worst thing about it: The ratchet across the back of the boot can sometimes loop over the top ...
