Essential Riding Gear Every Biker Should Own

Riding is enjoyable, but the road is unforgiving. The right gear turns a serious accident into a minor one.

A certified helmet

Buy a full-face helmet with a recognised safety certification. Replace it after any hard impact or every five years.

Jacket and gloves

Armoured jackets and gloves protect your skin and joints. Choose breathable materials for hot weather.

Boots and trousers

Ankle-covering boots and abrasion-resistant trousers protect the areas most often hurt in a fall.

Visibility

Bright colours and reflective strips help other drivers see you, especially at dusk and at night.
