Motoware-july09

The most sought after yet functional and fashionable biking gear available in the country

Alpinestars Paddock
A part of Astar’s Nero collection, the Paddock leather jacket for the fairer sex is the latest style statement in biking sisterhood. The jacket’s classic styling and contemporary finishing highlights its urban culture couture. It also incorporates lightweight safety padding in the shoulder and elbow sections to provide impact protection.

Sidi B2 Boots
Sidi’s base line race boots are now available in the country. The boots combine the trademark safety elements of the Sidi range but are priced economically courtesy a less radical design. With a variety of colours to choose from, safety and comfort at its best, an Italian design and a well known brand in the world of motorsports, the B2 are one of the best entry level boots money can buy.

Alpinestars Stella Octane
Here’s one suit that needs to be in the kitty of female bikers who look up to Alisha Abdullah and want to get their knees scraping on the racetrack. The Octane two-piece suit is designed to suit the female body form and is constructed using high grain leather for optimum protection. The two-piece assembly means that you can use just the jacket during your regular bike rides too.

Sidi Streetburner
Made from top grain leather, the Streetburner shoes from Sidi are what every fashion freak biker would want to wear each day. Designed for regular use, these shoes incorporate some of the necessary safety elements from Sidi’s race boots and at the same time they are comfortable enough for city commutes. In spite of being street shoes, the Streetburners come with toe sliders if you decide to scrape your toes while turning at intersections.

Ed Hardy Helmets
Top fashion designer Christian Audigier’s latest designs use imagery from tattoo god Ed Hardy’s collection. However, the designer has gone a step ahead from apparels and for a change has included helmets as a part of his 2009 line-up. The base shell choice for these designs comes in the form of the VR-2R helmet model from KBC. The helmets featured here are the Pirates and the Tiger models in white and black base colours respectively. For further details on pricing and availability, check out the website.
