SIXS: This year saw SIXS celebrate its 10th anniversary and as a follow-up to
the two TS6 (long, in WindShell Carbon underwear material) and TS7 (short,
in Carbon Underwear material) multisport garments launched earlier in 2019
the company marked its anniversary with a special limited edition short
sleeve commemorative base layer. The TS1 Anniversary short-sleeved base
layer shirt - limited to 1,000 pieces - is designed for athletic performance at
high temperatures and is said to have been made with the lightest fabric
ever used in a SIXS product (90% Polypropylene, 7% Elastane, 3% Carbon),
making it 33% lighter than the already incredibly low weight TS1L and
producing the "best breathability ever". The company also unveiled a new
logo as it looks forward to its next decade, with a new strapline - Innovative
Solutions For Sport - that highlights the brand's high tech materials and
advanced manufacturing technologies; www.six2.com
Richa: New products in 2019 from the Belgium based riding gear specialist
have included its 2-layer, GoreTex membrane ARC GTX jacket, Infinity 2 mesh
jacket and Airstrike 2, featuring a high density polyamide outer shell with
3M reflection, a 100% polyester inner mesh and CE Level 1 protectors at the
back, shoulders and elbows as standard (optionally upgradable to CE Level
2); www.richa.eu
GIVI: The prodigious Italian helmets to luggage to accessories specialist
recently turned its attention to Yamaha's revolutionary Niken with a set of
accessories to "transform the standard model into a sports-tourer kitted out
for riding with a passenger". The design of the frame and the fairing of the
Niken has enabled the company's R&D department to create holders for a
three-case set and a tank bag. With the use of the SR2143 rear rack, any
Monokey or Monolock case can be installed by using a matching series of
plates; www.givimoto.com
