Every season brings a new haul of motorcycle accessories, and as more and more women are involved in the sport the availability of women’s motorcycle accessories has increased substantially.

Arlen Ness has released the new “Lady Suit,” a breakthrough in motorcycle safety accessories.  Many of the world’s top-level woman racers choose the Arlen Ness Lady Suit, which was developed specifically with the physique and needs of the woman motorcycle racer in mind.  It is produced to be worn in the racing prone position to ensure the maximum efficiency when racing.  It is a one-piece suit, made from black and white Brazilian leather.  The Lady Suit’s patented elastic ribbing provides comfort and excellent flexibility while riding.  The Lady Suit is also designed to accept a separately sold back protector to offer the maximum amount of safety while whipping around the track.

AGV is offering a new and seriously improved helmet, the Stealth Shadow.  A motorcycle helmet is essential especially for anyone competing in a motocross, Superbike, or motorcycle race of any kind.  The Stealth Shadow offers a Kevlar construction with a dynamic ventilation system to make sure your head stays cool while you ride.  Its interior liners are easy to remove and wash, making clean-up after a hard ride a snap.  The Stealth Shadow also has an anti-scratch polycarbonate visor and is certified DOT/BSI 6658 TYPE A.  For the safety it provides, it won’t put too much of a dent in your wallet.

Icon has come out with an outstanding follow up to the extremely successful Bombshell motorcycle boot, the Hella.  The Hellas offer the fashionable, sexy feel of a high-end dress boot, with all the functionality of a top of the line motorcycle boot.  Hellas feature full zip step-in styling, insole protections and a padded ankle, and a wedge heel to help distribute weight evenly.  Many riders find the wedge heel to be more comfortable than a traditional heel, both on and off the bike.  The Hellas are made with premium grade cowhide leather and feature a ribbed calf expansion panel as well as easy on and off zipper system.

Motorcycle accessories aren’t just for safety and comfort; they tell the entire racing circuit something about the rider.  Choosing the right boots, racing suit, and helmet can not only save your life and limbs, it can set you apart from the rest of the riders on the racing circuit.
