Cliche alert. Motocross improves your road riding. More importantly, Motocross is Great Fun. And the KTM Motocross Experience is a brilliant way of finding out whether it's for you without spending a fortune. Though you may end up doing so anyway, of course...
We gave it a try to see what it was like, and had a blast.

Seats.Pretty much every bike has one, and pretty much everyone ignores it. Which is funny considering you spend a lot of time on your bike's seat, and when you get those aches and pains that come with a long ride, they normally start right there. The Comfort Cushion might just have an answer to that.

Tyres. Round, black (usually) and really difficult to photograph without studio facilities. They're also incredibly important for us bikers as the single most critical component in the whole "staying out of hospital" equation. Pirelli's Diablo Supercorsa Pro SP will go some way toeard helping you there...

Knox Handroid gloves have been around for a long time Over ten years, in fact. And their latest incarnation are the best yet, for all sorts of reasons which you'll have to read the article to learn. But - spoiler alert - they may just be my favourite gloves of all time...

 

 

 

Luggage is something we've touched on here a few times because it's been a problem since...well since bikes have existed. Knox have an interesting take on this problem with their Trekker rucksack, and it's really rather good. Obviously you'll need to read the article to see why...

Arai aren't the most prolific when it comes to new helmets, and they're hardly renowned for revolutionary design changes overnight.
So the RX-7V Evo will come as no surprise - even the name gives it away as an evolution. And yet...it's so much more than that...

Enginehawk is a new name in the bike clothing arena, but one which, if there is any justice, will become well established and successful. Nuts. Spoiler alert - I really like this jacket. And no, that's not me modelling it. Have a read and see what's got me all excited...

A few months ago Thalassa van Beek introduced herself on these pages and threatened to review bikes and kit. Well, as good as her word, here are some of her experiences to date on the Yamaha XT700 Tenere. The review is different from our usual style, but we like it. Love to hear your opinions...

The future, ladies and gentlemen, may well look something like this. It's not completely alien, but it's definitely different. And it's called the BMW CE04. It looks like a radical modern scooter, goes surprisingly well...and sounds like a milk float. Read on to see why...

Sensible twin cylinder BMWs have been a familiar site on these roads for longer than most of us can remember. Here's another - the R NineT Pure - which is actually not sensible at all. We got our hands on one for a while and the conclusion was surprising.

 

 

 

BMW are probably best known these days for their beaky-faced adventure bikes made famous by certain actors. And at a glance the S1000XR might seem to be cut from a similar cloth. And indeed it is...and yet at the same time it isn't. Confused? Don't blame you. Read on, and see if it makes sense...

Turtles have hard shells, live ages and are spectacularly cool. This eTurtle has a hard shell, some really cool electronics and will help you live a lot longer. It's a development of the original Turtle we tested a while ago, and it's different. Have a read to find out more...

KLIM is one of the most successful companies in the motorcycle industry of whom you have probably never heard. The Hardanger suit is a prime example. Over the last ten months and several thousand miles we've oput those claims to the test. Well most of them, anyway...
