PRO GuIDe Full WTJ and WTP ‘Brainy Position’ Carbon Underwear The “Full WTJ” wind stopper intermediate layer and “WTP” trousers are additions to SIXS’ Moto Touring collection. Intended for warmth and comfort without compromising breathability, either for the front or the back, these are the first items from SIXS that use their patented Carbon Underwear fabric in combination with other feature-specific selected materials. This offers the much sought-after combination of “great protection from cold air together with complete breathability of the skin”. The ‘Full WTJ’ uses a new solution in the fight against the cold - thanks to a technology called ‘Brainy Position’, with three different materials mixed to create the fabric. At the front is the ‘Winter Barrier’, an anti- vent, water repellent fabric. On the parts more subject to sweating, like the back, Carbon Underwear guarantees transpiration and thermal regulation, while in the lower areas of the abdomen and back a layer of ThermoPile warms and maintains the correct body temperature. The ‘Full WTJ’ is recommended as an intermediate layer to wear above SIXS underwear (such as the TS3W) and with other outer technical wear. The technology also includes Areo fit, following the posture of the rider - longer at the back, shorter at the front. The material is said to be perfect for all seasons and comes in all black. The wind stopper pants also have the ‘Brainy Position’ technology and the same features as the jacket and are also all black in various sizes. SIXS S.R.L. Bagnara di Romagna (RA), ITALY Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.siz2.biz Euro 3 and 4 LV-10 for Z1000 Italian exhaust specialist LeoVince has added another new line of ECE-approved exhausts for 2018 - the LV-10 is a new programme for the Kawasaki Z1000 (Euro 3 and Euro 4). The LV-10 is the slip-on they developed in collaboration with several leading Moto2 and Moto3 teams and is based directly on their MotoGP and SBK racing experience. “We designed an exhaust system with extremely compact dimensions to grant maximum lightness, the best performance and the unmistakable LeoVince racing sound,” says Commercial Director Stefano Patelli. Manufactured entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel, the LV-10 is said to be 4.88 kg lighter than the OEM system it replaces. The body has a matt ‘Titanium Look’ finish with laser-etched LeoVince logo. For those who are looking for something darker, the ‘LV- 10 Black Edition’ has a stylish matt black finish. The sandblasted end cap features a stainless steel exhaust outlet mesh for a racing style look. Patelli went on to say that “the LV-10 mounts with a laser-cut bracket, and inside high thermal resistance (900 °C) fibreglass wool is applied through the use of a single proprietary and volumised yarn, to allow the sound-absorbing material to expand freely, without the fibres losing integrity, greatly increasing the durability.” LEOVINCE Monticello d'Alba (CN), ITALY [email protected] www.leovince.com R nineT ‘Ra cer’ accessories The last of the BMW R nineT family to enter production (so far!), the “more aggressive nature” with “sleek lines and a geometric predisposition that recalls race bikes of the past” got the attention of Italian parts specialist Rizoma straight away. Their R nineT accessory line is said to “highlight the bold R nineT character” and is “inspired by the racing world of the Bavarian factory, but with unique Rizoma personality”. The model-specific billet aluminium range incudes head and engine covers; intake tips; airbox covers and rear hub cover; adjustable "3D" brake/clutch 34 levers and grips with a specially designed adapter; front fender with fork stabiliser; brake and clutch fluid reservoir caps; fuel tank cap; frame hole caps and four licence plate eliminator configurations. A wide range of universal fit parts and accessories are also available, including indicator lights, mirrors and handlebar caps. RIZOMA S.r.l.
