Fifth-gen best-gen
RST’s fifth-generation Paragon jacket is set to raise the bar. RST
pitches it as a touring rider’s dream, what with the Teflon-coated
Maxtex and Ballistic construction, its Sinaqua waterproof interior
membrane and removable full-length warm, quilted liner.
Waterproof zips are used throughout, and the main entry is
double zipped with a gutter system inside — clearly these guys
have ridden long-distance in the rain and know what matters.

Title winner hits Kiwi tracks
Pirelli’s Scorpion MX32 Mid-Soft tyre is suitable for
soft to medium terrain. The special polyester carcass
should deliver increased heating resistance in race
conditions, and cuts weight without compromising
stability and cornering behaviour, while V-shaped
knobs improve braking
stability and cornering
side grip. That they deliver
high performance in
severe racing conditions
is proved by their 68 MX
World Championship titles
and the 2015 NZ MX1,
MX2 and 125cc titles.
Built for shredders
Still wondering what to swap Junior’s unwanted
Christmas gifts for? How about FFM’s Motopro 4
Jnr Racer helmet, which features a true kid’s size
shell to eliminate the top-heavy look delivered
by many youth helmets. It uses a lightweight and
compact ABS shell construction, chin and brow
vents, a plush comfort lining that is removable
and washable and double D-ring fastening,
and meets the ECE22.05 safety standard.
