Motorcycle starter kit – Everything you need for a safe and comfortable ride

Are you going out on the road with a motorcycle for the first time? The right equipment is essential for both safety, comfort and riding pleasure. With a good starter kit, you are better equipped for any trip – no matter the weather or the conditions.

Here is the most important equipment you should have in place before you get on your bike:

Helmet – Your most important protection

Your helmet is the most critical piece of safety equipment you wear. Choose an ECE 22.06 approved helmet with good ventilation and a comfortable fit. A full-face helmet or a modular helmet provides the optimal combination of safety and ease of use.

Motorcycle jacket – Safe and durable

A good motorcycle jacket protects against both weather and accidents. Go for a textile or leather jacket with built-in CE-approved protectors on the shoulders, elbows and back. Ventilation and a waterproof membrane make it usable in various weather conditions.

Motorcycle pants – Lower body protection

Motorcycle pants provide essential protection against both falls and the elements. Textile pants with removable lining and waterproof membrane provide flexibility in varying temperatures. Kevlar-reinforced motorcycle jeans are a good choice for shorter rides. Make sure the pants have CE-approved protectors at the knees and hips.

Motorcycle shoes and boots – Safety for your feet

The right shoes or boots provide support, protection and good grip. Choose CE-approved MC shoes with reinforcements in the toe, ankle and heel, as well as non-slip soles for stability on both wet and dry surfaces.

Motorcycle gloves – Protection for your hands

Hands are particularly vulnerable in the event of an accident, so gloves are a must. Go for CE-approved gloves with knuckle protection, reinforced palms and a good fit. Thin summer gloves provide better finger sensation, while insulated winter gloves keep you warm when the temperature drops.

A complete starter pack with the right and approved equipment gives you a safe and comfortable start to your motorcycle life. Choose equipment that suits you and your riding style – and enjoy the ride from the first meter.
