Hot mitts on (or off) the bike
These RST Thermotech Heated Gloves use a wireless design
with a lithium-polymer battery to provide heat for up to four
hours – perfect for riding in the depths of winter. You can set
one of three heat levels — an LED light on the switch gives
a quick visual indication of which setting you are on.
All that, plus premium-grade cowhide, up to 150
minutes of running time on max (270 minutes
on low), a powergrip wrist closure, double-
layer leather palm, finger-joint protection
and, of course, a battery charger.

Banish sag the DIY way
The DRC Sag checker is a very handy tool that lets you
easily measure front and rear suspension sag by yourself. Its
compact design means it won’t take up much space in your
tool box either. The clamp comes with rubber so it won’t
damage your plastic fenders or side panels, and you can
clamp it anywhere on side panels, rear fender or sub frames
to measure suspension sags and get them exactly where you
want them without having to call on the neighbour to help.

Climb every mountain
The Motoz Mountain Hybrid Gummy tyre is made from a soft,
gummy natural rubber-rich compound with a super flex zone
under the tread. It is constructed like a trials tyre, but with
reinforced sidewalls to allow lower inflation pressure when riding in
off-road and mountain conditions. The dimensions of an off road
tyre mean it’ll maintain your dirt bike’s handling characteristics
while delivering awesome traction and great wear life.
