At a glance. BMW Motorrad Rider’s Equipment – 2016 Collection.

A new season gets underway and there's one thing motorcyclists can be sure of: in 2016 once again, BMW Motorrad offers top-class equipment. The new collection presents further advancements of popular, well-established products as well as new, highly functional items. The entire collection is based on the BMW Motorrad “Safety 360°” principle, which regards innovative equipment as a safety bonus. BMW Motorrad is the only motorcycle manufacturer to develop an entire range of rider’s equipment itself, now in its fifth decade.

In the very first section, Adventure Ride , globetrotters will find top-class equipment items made by BMW Motorrad : the Rallye suit gets off to a great start in the new colour combinations blue/grey and black/red. Premium quality materials are now used to make this popular suit: ProTechWool and a carbon-fibre finish provide a significant bonus in terms of both comfort and safety. Impressive updates in design, comfort and safety make the GS Pro boots and the Rallye gloves an absolute must for world travellers in the new season. This also applies to the Hydra drink pack, which provides a valuable service as an easy-to-use thirst-quencher during travel. The perfect way to round off a rugged adventure look is the GS Carbon helmet , from now on available with Trophy special decor .

They keep you warm, they're breathable and they look really good too: products offering top-class practical functionality are to be found in the Function in top form section. For example the Ride fleece jacket now provides both comfort and style in the trend colours cream for women and dark blue for men. The Ride windbreaker is a permanent fixture: in spite of its excellent fitting with PU membrane, it can be folded down to a tiny package that fits in its own inside pocket. Meanwhile the Ride T-Shirt and Ride long-sleeve shirt are made of a functional material mixture that ensures a perfect body climate. Following on from the BMW Motorrad sunglasses, the stylish Ride sunglasses with metal frame are new to the range. Meanwhile the Function sunglasses ensure a clear view due to their three different interchangeable plastic lenses. Consistent refinement of well-established equipment is demonstrated by the ProWinter and ProSummer gloves , each of which is perfectly geared towards a specific season. A new item in the program: the elegant DownTown gloves for use in urban traffic. Finally, the waterproof HydroSock function socks offer extra comfort for those who enjoy motorcycling over all types of terrain.

Elegant equipment for commuters and city cruisers is presented by BMW Motorrad in the Style section. The title says it all: the SanDiego jacket – available for both men and women – draws its material mixture of leather and material from the world of fashion while still remaining a purebred item of motorcycling gear. The DownTown jacket is excellent in all weathers since it is a “jacket within a jacket”. It has a removable, padded thermal inner jacket that can be worn on its own, too. The City and City Denim motorcycle pants come in distinct styling for men and women. Their sophisticated material mixture of Cordura and cotton is both comfortable and abrasion-resistant. The Summer (unisex) and FivePocket pants – now also for ladies – are perfect for hot days, combining a casual outdoor cut with reliable safety features. A practical and chic companion: the MessengerBag protects gadgets and accessories from rain and splash water.

Shirts, polos, hoodies, jackets, lifestyle products and co: in the section 2016 fan collections there are three lines full of high-quality products waiting to be discovered by fans of the BMW Motorrad brand, both young and old. The collection BMW Motorrad Style Motorsport in the colours blue/white/red sends out a stylish greeting from the BMW Motorrad racing teams. For those who love the BMW Motorrad GS models, the BMW Motorrad Style GS fan collection is an absolute must. It is dedicated entirely to the GS Adventure style. Last but not least , BMW Motorrad Style Roadster offers striking colours and rugged designs in line with this laid-back collection's motto : “Fuel for Your Soul”.
