PRO GuIDe Carbon parts for BMW R 1200 GS ILMBERGER Carbon Parts, one of Europe's leading international carbon parts manufacturers since their formation in 1990, has developed a new line of carbon parts for BMW's R 1200 GS Adventure (LC). The company says that making these parts was a special challenge, as BMW's top selling model is the heaviest and largest bike in all the BMW bike series. The focus was on the upper part of the bike, because reducing the weight at the top of the motorcycle has the most effect on handling and performance. Ilmberger say that their modifications make the R 1200 GS Adventure (LC) more agile, but without losing its image as a robust touring bike. Parts available include front and rear fenders, rear splash cover, top tank cover, frame triangular cover right and left, lower engine protection, brake hose cover, heel protection, hand protector, wind deflector on cockpit right and left, water cooler/radiator cover, exhaust heat protector bottom and rear.

The inner EPS shell has been redesigned and now uses four different densities, ensuring the highest safety standards. Evolved aerodynamics, including a powerful ventilation system, an extra wide visor with integrated sunscreen, anti-fog Pinlock lens and Airoh's 'Emergency Fast Remove' system are some of the technical specifications included in the ST701. It is available in various graphics, and shown here in the carbon fibre version with neon stripe. Trek all-rounder motorcycle high-top shoe THE Trek high-top shoe from Falco is said to offer optimal safety and support without compromising aesthetics. The shoe has the appearance of a fashionable allrounder, but underneath the design it features toe and heel reinforcements as well as foam-backed ankle cups. For all weather conditions, the full grain leather upper and High-Tex inner liner membrane give support for the foot, maximising water repellence and breathability. The oil-proof total-grip vulcanised Vibram rubber sole helps to maintain optimal control of the bike, says Mattia Foscarini, Sales Manager for Gianni Falco. To ensure night-time visibility, the Trek also features a rear reflective piping insert. A removable gear-pad kit is included for free. Available in matt black, camel brown or in dark brown full grain oiltreated leather, the boot is CE certified and available in various sizes.
