More value and more features from‘ Black Brand’
The‘ Black Brand’ apparel program, available exclusively through Tucker Rocky / Biker’ s Choice, continues to expand. Positioned as a mid-market program“ with attitude” it was launched in 2016 and is headed up for Tucker Rocky by ex-HotBike Magazine and ex-S & S man Howard Kelly.“ We started by looking at the apparel lines that were already available in the highly competitive motorcycle apparel space. We looked at the lower-end market, we looked at the high-end market, and we found that there was very little in the mid-range – very little that combines value with genuine riding design and features- that is where we come in.“ We analyzed every facet of the riding apparel that was currently available, and most other manufacturers seem to be making jackets without considering what a rider, or passenger, might really want or need. They want to look good, and they certainly want products that are genuinely safe and protective, but they don’ t want to have to take out a loan for them!“ We made it our mission to make a product that was better, but that our dealers could still make a good margin on while being able to offer their customers value.‘ Black Brand’ is about quality and design that has been developed by people who really do ride every day and understand what makes gear better.”
