When it comes to motorcycling, the weather can be too wet, too cold, or too hot, depending on having the right clothing. BMW Motorrad took up this challenge 40 years ago and was the first motorcycle manufacturer in the world to offer its own complete rider equipment to complement the already established BMW Motorrad helmet in 1978.
Gear at that time was still made of cowhide but was already fitted with safety reflectors along with protective zones to increase visibility at night. This proved to be the early sign of an unprecedented success story. World’s largest motorcycle rider equipment. In the decades that followed, BMW Motorrad consistently pursued its mission to make motorcycling as safe and comfortable as possible and at the same time fashionably attractive and stylish.
Today it offers unparalleled rider equipment that surpasses all motorcycle manufacturers – always driven by the desire of developers to develop new innovative solutions to improve existing products and make motorcycle riding more enjoyable and carefree.
More than 100 new rider equipment products for the 2023 motorcycling season. For the upcoming season, BMW Motorrad presents the Gear & Garment Collection 2023 with more than 100 new products, from helmets, gloves, and boots to rider suits, jackets, trousers, casual wear, functional wear, and accessories. Developed by motorcyclists for motorcyclists. With enthusiasm, passion, and lots of love for functional details and stylish design.
Sports, vintage or classic design, integral or jet helmet – the selection of BMW motorcycling helmets is enormous and practically leaves nothing to be desired. For the 2023 season, the range of colors has been significantly expanded for many models.
Plus, the new Xomo Carbon Sports Integral Helmet proves that superior protection doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. It has a carbon fiber composite shell and many comfortable extras such as 3D-shaped cheek pads, an easy-fit system for riders wearing glasses, an ergonomic visor system with a soft-close function, and a removable chin cover.
The “Bowler” helmet, like many other helmets now available in new additional colors, on the other hand, appeals to fashion-conscious bikers looking for a classy classic design. The retro look also includes details such as leather applications or an interior lining with an embossed BMW logo.
