How many products, motorcycle related or otherwise, can you name that have stayed on the market and remained competitive for more than five years? How about eight? That’s what the original Held Phantom managed to do. They’ve been winning awards and comparison tests since 2005, but that run has come to an end with the release of their successor - the Held Phantom II. The Held Phantom II retains the full kangaroo leather construction of the original, which makes it surprisingly flexible and lightweight considering how beefy they look at first glance. The inherent lightness of the kangaroo means that more protective elements can be added without making the Phantom II feel restrictive. Other features that go relatively unchanged from the original are the Kevlar lining on top of the hand, special stepped seams on the fingers for an unobtrusive feel, and stingray leather on the palm. Stingray leather is incredibly abrasion resistant and acts as a slider on the heel of the palm. Held had an excellent starting point with the original Phantom, but that doesn’t mean they only gave a fresh look to the old features. Many brand new elements were added to the Phantom II. Starting at the fingers, the Phantom II’s use a material called Superfabric on the knuckles of the pinky, ring and middle fingers. This is backed by Kevlar and shock absorbing foam for even more protection. Each of the first two fingers also have been given flex panels for easy manipulation of your controls while on the bike. Above the fingers on the back of the hand is a brand new, multi-layer knuckle protector. It uses a titanium slider that is seated in a molded TPU base, with thick, energy absorbing foam underneath it all. It not only protects, but it does so very comfortably. The wrist is guarded by a similar, layered armor scheme. The difference here is that instead of titanium, it is Superfabric that provides the first line of defense. The Held Phantom II is very well rounded gauntlet that provides some of the best protection available, excellent comfort, and a very supple feel. It is definitely a worthy successor to the long-running Phantom, and you can get your own pair from Riders Discount by getting in touch with MIKE through this forum, or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804. You can also feel free to send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! The new Held Phantom II gloves sell for $300 and come in White/Black , Black, Hi-Vis Yellow/Black (not pictured), and Red/White/Black.

Protection comes from molded TPU shin, ankle, and heel cups. On the front is an easily replaceable alloy no-spark toe slider along with a molded shifter pad. RST uses a heavy-duty zipper and velcro closure along with a stretch panel to accommodate a wide variety of calf sizes.

For grip on the pegs, the Tractech Evo uses a vulcanized, anti-slip multi-density rubber sole with a molded anti-twist mid sole.

Spidi started life as a glove manufacturer in the 1970’s and they didn’t waste any time in elevating themselves to the world class level. They succeeded in establishing their reputation as a top brand only two years after the company was founded, when they supplied gloves for Kenny Roberts during his run up to winning the 1979 world championship. Spidi hasn’t looked back since. Fast forward to the present and you now find world class riders like Cal Crutchlow and Andrea Dovisioso representing the brand in MotoGP. Spidi’s Carbo-3 gloves available from Riders Discount are constructed using very high quality leather from the same Japanese cows that provide Kobe beef. The leather is not only strong, but extremely soft, so the end result is a very supple pair of gloves that feels like well worn in the first time you try them on. This translates into excellent feel on the controls from day one. Spidi added even more flexibility by incorporating accordion stretch panels on the back of the thumb, as well as the tops of the index and ring fingers so that you don’t have to strain when going for the brake or clutch. Most riders have a list of things that can make gloves uncomfortable for them and obtrusive seams in the fingers are generally pretty high on the list. This isn’t a problem at all with the Carbo-3’s. Spidi’s internal seams can barely be felt and they don’t hinder finger movement at all. Rider safety is a top priority for Spidi and they used the experience gained during their 35+ years of competition, as well as plenty of input from their top riders to make sure that the Carbo-3’s keep your hands protected. These gloves were the first to use Spidi’s new uniquely shaped carbon fiber knuckle protector which was designed to reduce the risk of the hand catching and flipping during a slide. Energy absorbing foam backs this protector and extends up towards the wrist for extra protection on the top of the hand. The same foam is also found on base of the palm and outside of the wrist since they are the areas most likely to take an impact. Spidi used multiple layers of leather and clarino in not only the previously mentioned impact zones, but also the fingers and up outside of the hand to the end of the pinky. A long gauntlet with a dual stage, overlapping velcro closure protects the upper wrist and works together with the lower wrist-strap to help keep everything in place with a good snug fit. The Carbo-3’s are available in black, white/black, white/red, fl.yellow/black, white/blue/yellow, and red/white/green. Fit on the gloves may be a touch small. I typically wear a medium and found it tough to initially squeeze through the wrist/palm area but once it was on it was perfect. The Spidi Carbo-3 gloves are a great option for anyone that looks for excellent feel and flexibility in their gloves.

Ask any club racer and trackday enthusiast what their preferred brake pad is and the chances are good they'll say its Vesrah. Available from Riders Discount, Vesrah offers three to four different pad options (dependent on bike) with affordable pricing to fit into any budget and skill level. Many RD staffers have cut their teeth on Vesrah pads because they offer consistent feel and a long life in all racing conditions. Aside from their proprietary sintered metal compound, which resists brake fade, the friction material itself is backed by a metal plate that’s harder than those used in OEM pads for a more even pressure across the pad/rotor interface. This not only contributes to greater brake performance with less effort at the lever, but it also ensures even brake pad wear and consequently, longer brake life. All Vesrah pads exceed OEM brake pads in terms of braking power across the high-performance envelope. And, although Vesrah brake pads require minimal bed-in, for users switching brands, we recommend sanding both sides of your bike’s brake rotors to remove previous brake material for maximum braking performance. Vesrah Brake Pads are available for most late model sportbikes. For more information, call MIKE at 866.931.6644 x 804 or send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! Vesrah now offers three different sintered metal brake pad compounds to serve a whole spectrum of riders and racers, depending on their needs: RJL, Super RJL and Super RJL XX as detailed below. Vesrah RJL Brake Pads, the original go-to brake pads for the club racer. Developed specifically for high-performance work, Vesrah RJL pads offer a good initial bite with a flat friction coefficient which makes them very predictable when you grab the brakes. Vesrah Super RJL brake pads deliver a very strong initial bite, more than RJL pads - with an even higher friction coefficient which makes them very responsive to lever modulation. If you want the strongest initial bite and lots of braking power, this is the pad for you. Vesrah Super RJL XX brake pads are the latest offering from Vesrah. These pads provide even more power than the Super RJLs, but without the big initial bite. They’re ultra responsive too where miniscule changes in pressure at the lever will be felt. If you demand ultimate stopping power, choose Vesrah Super RJL XX pads.

The new top dog from SIDI, the Mag-1, is designed with direct input from Moto GP level riders featuring a more streamlined profile, lightweight design, internalized carbon fiber bracing and is available from Riders Discount today. Weighing in at just under 4.5 lbs on our shipping scale for a size 44, the Mag-1 boots are considerably lighter than the Vortice boots. With weight savings at the forefront of the new design, gone is the replaceable sole. However, SIDI uses a dual compound sole designed for longevity. Also note the heel cup is significantly cut back, still keeping protection in the key area but cutting away at the inside of the cup to maintain a slim profile and cut unnecessary weight. All new Micrometric Techno-3 magnetic closure system is still just as easy to use as before but lighter than the previous iteration. Retails at $495.
