PRODUCT NEWS Ben Spies replica ‘Austin’ HJC latest race replica helmet launch is the Ben Spies with Austin graphic. The race helmet, like the one worn by MotoGP star (and former WSB Champion) Ben Spies, has been designed with three shell sizes from a unique blend of organic and non-organics fibres, said to make it smaller, lighter and stronger than most other helmets. A part of the new RPHA 10 PLUS range of helmets, the Spies, and the entire line, features a new shield with Pinlock Max vision, a new chin curtain, new chin vent, and more robust fixings for the liner. The lining itself uses high end Ginko-fresh anti-bacterial material and is fully removable. The helmet is supplied with a 2D Dark Smoke shield as well as a clear, and a Pinlock lens and tear off pins. Thanks to Oxford Products in the UK for supplying this information.

The Powerbronze rear hugger is supplied predrilled with all mountings, and is made from a high impact plastic for a smooth internal finish and rolled edges, and uses steel-sleeved rubber mounting points to dampen vibration and avoid cracking. The hugger is available in black, white or carbon look, each with either gold or silver coloured meshed vents. Powerbronze’s carbon fibre heel plates are a lightweight direct replacement for the original Triumph parts, and fit using the original fixings. Also in carbon are the Powerbronze side panels, offered as an upgrade, and they fit using the original fixings. A further carbon option for the Street Triple from Powerbronze is its ‘Rad Spoiler’ that fits onto the existing radiator and can be used in conjunction with a Powerbronze cooler grill or simply fitted on its own. Completing the new range of parts for the latest incarnation of the Street Triple is the Powerbronze Eliminator (tail tidy), which is manufactured from black powder coated stainless steel. Supplied with the necessary fixings, it has provision for the fitting of mini stem indicators built-in, while the original number plate light is replaced with an LED version.
