Innovation is always on the horizon in the motorcycling world, and that means there’s no shortage of new kit being released, but how can you keep track of everything when it’s moving so quickly?

We’ve scoured every corner of the motorcycle industry for all the newest kit releases, so you can stay up to date with the latest and greatest every week – right here, with MCN’s New Kit News.

New kit this week

Now available as either a square or circle, these funky billet aluminium bar end mirrors from Oxford feature a 360° rotation so that you can position them above or below the bar as your riding style dictates. Designed to fit most 22mm handlebars.
Designed specifically to fit all Kriega backpacks, this two litre hydration pack is manufactured from uber tough abrasion resistant TPU. It can be turned fully inside out for cleaning and drying, and comes with a quick release insulated drink tube.              
The latest modular kid on the block is Nexx’s all new flip front, the Lifetour. Boasting drag minimising vortex generators and twin rubber seals for both visor and front section, it’s been designed to be comfortable and quiet for long journeys at high speed.     
Offering five heat settings and a maximum operating temperature of over 80°, these compact grips should be perfect for keeping your mitts toasty when the mercury drops. Control is via a thumb operated button with LED indicator, and a built-in management system protects your battery from going flat.
This lightweight portable pressure washer from power tool experts Makita should make keeping your bike clean a breeze. Weighing just 2.2kg (without battery), it has a 24 bar max operating pressure and 82 minute run time.

Last week’s releases

LS2’s wallet friendly flip front lid has been blessed with four new colourways, including the eye catching ‘Code’ design that’s available in uber-bright yellow or red. Weighing in at just 1650g, it has a drop-down sunshade and comes in sizes XS to 3XL.
If you know about the frustration that comes with trying to get a socket on a hard-to-reach fastener, then this set of adaptors could be right up your street. Designed to be used with a six-point ratchet spanner, it includes ¼, 3/8 and ½ drives.
Protect the vulnerable rear shock and suspension linkage on your Africa Twin with this combined hugger and chain guard from UK based Pyramid. Manufactured from textured ABS for an OE factory finish and supplied with all necessary fixings.
Italian firm Eleveit have added yet another new boot to their 2025 line up, the Venom. Aimed at touring riders, they’re fully waterproof with welded rubber reinforcements for abrasion resistance and should be comfy both on and off the bike.
A simple solution to a common problem, these lightweight neoprene sleeves slip over your grips to soak up unwanted vibrations and provide a more comfortable ride. They can be easily trimmed to fit most bikes and might even smarten things up too.
