Duchinni to debut at EICMA
British motorcycle industry titan Fowlers is to give its Duchinni apparel brand a debut at this year ' s 83rd EICMA, Milan, November 3-8, 2026. Duchinni is the only motorcycle brand dedicated to road riders aged 6-14. The move comes ahead of the brand ' s launch into Europe. Duchinni was created by legendary Fowlers Motorcycles, a British company that was founded in 1926. Fowlers has grown into the largest and most trusted wholesaler of genuine motorcycle parts, motorcycle clothing and accessories in the UK, and is still owned and run by the founding family. In addition to motorcycle parts and accessories, Fowlers designs, develops and distributes their two major clothing brands, Weise and Duchinni, from the corporate headquarters, which are located in the vibrant and colourful heart of Bristol.

On the race circuit, Weise clothing is tested to the limit by Peter ' Hicky ' Hickman and his PHR World Sportbike team. Peter is famous for pushing boundaries, trusting Weise for all 14 of his Isle of Man TT race wins, since his incredible debut in 2014, when he took the Fastest Newcomer title. Peter continues to hold the fastest outright lap record averaging 219.447 km / h. " Duchinni is the younger sibling of Weise " said Director Sasha Fowler, " and this unique range of clothing benefits from decades of development and experience in the design team." Created exclusively for junior motorcycle passengers between the ages of 6-14 years, Duchinni is made to the same standards as adult motorcycle clothing,( EN17092- 3:2020 for jackets and trousers, EN13594:2015 for gloves). The extensive collection includes everything from leather and textile jackets to armoured hoodies, shirts, and denim jeans. New additions include the AA-rated Jago Air mesh jacket and Stealth Hoodie for summer rides, alongside the A-rated Redwood Shirt and Tundra Jeans. With gloves, boots, and waterproofs, young riders get the same quality and safety as adults, at affordable prices. All the designs are similar to adult styles and will appeal to young riders who aspire to dress like a real motorcyclist, and parents who are looking for certified children ' s protective clothing with styles that complement their own. The designers at Duchinni recognise that children grow quickly, and many of the jackets have zipped 3 cm sleeve extension panels, allowing room for growth over a couple of riding seasons. www. duchinni. com
