All the Speeds for all the Riders
This RJays Dune textile jacket features Cordura construction
for high abrasion resistance, plus approved body armour
in the shoulders, elbows and back. There’s a breathable,
waterproof liner, a removable thermal zip-out liner – both
with colour-coded attachment loops to ease fitting – and
waterproof zippered air vents, plus seven waterproof
pockets, and two sleeve adjusters. The cuffs get both
zips and Velcro, and you can zip this jacket to trou, too.

Grip ’n’ stick this summer
The Metzeler Roadtec 01 delivers a new standard
of grip in different weather conditions, on dry and
wet roads, plus changeable and low-grip surfaces.
It also offers higher mileage than its predecessor thanks
to more uniform and regular wear, and great stability
at high speeds and with the bike fully loaded. Given its
performance and versatility, Metzeler says it could
be the perfect tyre for New Zealand riders.
Distributor: Forbes & Davies
Size style: Available in sizes to suit Supersport, Naked,
Sports Touring, Adventure Touring and GT bikes

Attacks dirt, not paint
Kawasaki says the unique formula of Kawasaki Performance On & Off-Road Pre-wash
breaks down dirt, grime and oils while protecting paint and other delicate finishes.
We’re promised it’s safe on plastics, carbon fibre, paint, anodising, aluminium,
titanium and rubber, it’s biodegradable and contains no harmful acids,
CFCs or solvents and won’t harm seals or brake pads. It’s a bright factory
green, but of course will work just as well on other makes, too!
