  1. The RST Tractech Evo boot available from Riders Discount is everything you would expect in a motorcycle sport boot with comfort, ventilation, and superior protection. The Tractech Evo boot is the perfect all-around boot whether you're racing, doing trackdays, or just on a Sunday cruise. In fact, the Tractech EVO boot is a fully CE certified boot. 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. The boot also features a multi-density gel insole to keep your feet comfortable all day long. For grip on the pegs, the Tractech Evo uses a vulcanized, anti-slip multi-density rubber sole with a molded anti-twist mid sole. MSRP: $199.99 Fit runs a tad large, we'd recommend going one size down from your normal boot size. Available in white or black in both vented or non-vented options. These are not yet listed on our website so be sure to give MIKE a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 or send him a message through this forum to order yours today! Is email more convenient? Write us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away!
  2. 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. Feel free to get in touch with MIKE at at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 today if you have any questions or would like to pick up a pair of your own. You can shoot him a PM through this forum or send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away!
  3. Sharkskinz bodywork is without question, the best aftermarket bodywork available for motorcycles today. Available from Riders Discount, Sharkskinz quality is readily apparent from fit, to prepping for paint, to durability. Upper shown for the 08+ Yamaha R6 Not yet listed on our website, Sharkskinz bodywork can be ordered by calling MIKE at 866.931.6644 ext. 804 or by sending us a private message through this forum. Is email more convenient? Write to us at FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM, and we'll get back to you right away! Note: Bodywork is made to order and production time can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. All Sharkskinz race bodywork is made using their proprietary blend of epoxy resins, primers and woven cloth for a perfect fit with no filing or cutting required. These fit perfectly straight out of the box. In addition, they make it easy by including any specialized hardware, spacers or brackets when it’s required so you’re fabricating your own brackets to hang the bodywork like you might when ordering from other brands. Finished at the factory with a urethane primer, not a gel coat that other brands use to hide imperfections, Sharkskinz bodywork is ready to paint with very little to no prep work. Ask any professional motorcycle painter what brand they prefer to paint and they'll almost always say Sharkskinz. One of the best things about Sharkskinz bodywork is its crashability. Other cheaper brands will disintegrate or crack when they hit the ground, not Sharkskinz. Sharkskinz bodywork is flexible and crashes really well thanks to the quality of materials used. Sharkskinz motorcycle bodywork is sold as either a complete kit or individual replacement pieces – so you can start with a completely fresh set of bodywork, or simply replace that which has lost its luster. Some models are available with cut-outs for OEM headlights and taillights. Whether this is your first set of bodywork, or your fifteenth – you won’t be disappointed with what you get straight out of the box. There's a reason they've been the main supplier to all top AMA teams for years including the Riders Discount Racing team. See why for yourself and order a set for your bike from us today!

The Aegis back protector is very unique in that it uses multi-link CE Level 2 protection that conforms and twists to your body. The honeycomb base on the back protector is not only safe but extremely comfortable and aids with airflow. Speaking of airflow, the mesh vest is breathable and moisture-wicking. When it becomes too smelly, simply zip it off from the back protector and throw it in the wash following the care instructions on the label. Inside the vest you'll find a velcro strip to hold in the optional Knox chest protector and a padded back spacer that really allows for maximum airflow. This is removable if you don't like the feel. The low profile chest does not constrict articulation and fits even under the tightest of racing suits. Best of all with wearing this full vest, you don't have to worry about the back protector moving out of place when you pull your suit on. Everything stays in place with the Knox Armor vest.

  18. Buying a race suit can be nearly as difficult as buying a motorcycle it seems. And with retail pricing ranging from $799.95 to $2899.95 for Alpinestars suits, it is a decision that isn't taken lightly. We're going to go over the available Alpinestars suits to help better inform you on each one and hopefully allow you to feel more comfortable about your purchase. First, let's talk about fit. One of the most common calls we get from customers who just tried on their new suit is that it doesn't fit right and/or it doesn't feel comfortable. More often than not, they are basing this from standing up in their living room and walking around the house. A race suit is not meant for either of these scenarios, they're meant for the rider to be on the bike and carving up the track. The first thing we're going to ask you when you call with concerns about the fitment is how does it feel on the bike? When you first put on your new suit, it's going to take a lot of work and you're going to look ridiculous putting it on, that's a given. We've all been there. After you get your suit zipped up, get out to your bike and sit on it. Get in a tuck, get your butt off like you're going to drag knee (be careful and make sure it's on a rear stand or have a buddy help hold the bike). Does it feel comfortable now? Is it hindering your movement at all? These are questions to ask yourself before determining if the fit is good, or if the fit is off. If you think it's still not fitting right, give us a call and we'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have or exchange for a different size. Ladies, we have suit options for you too. Give us a call if you need help with sizing or if you'd like to purchase a suit. The complete Alpinestars' suit line covers a range of riding styles, from Sunday morning cruises to WSBK level race suits. First up is the Alpinestars Motegi Suit - Alpinestars Motegi Suit - $799.95 MSRP -- Entry level -- Motegi two piece options available -- Alpinestars Motegi Suit Full Review The new entry level suit from Alpinestars. This is a great all-around suit that is perfect for carving canyons or tackling a trackday. Alpinestars designed the Motegi with a less aggressive cut than the ultra-aggressive higher end suits, meaning that it is possible to stand up off of the bike without it feeling like a workout. This doesn’t mean that it is any less comfortable on the bike, however. The Motegi features durable Aramidic stretch panels that run down the length of the underarms, sides of the torso, crotch and back of the legs for increased mobility and comfort on longer rides. Available in black/white, white/black, black/white/red, white/black/red, black/white/yellow (pictured here), and black/white/gold Alpinestars SP-1 Suit - $899.95 MSRP -- Entry - Intermediate level -- Closeout -- Alpinestars SP-1 Suit Full Review The SP-1 suit from Alpinestars is a full-on race suit and one of our most popular selling suits. It's easy to see why they've kept this suit in their lineup since 2009. CE-approved GP armor is found in the knees, elbows, and shoulders and has the option of adding in the Alpinestars Bionic Race back protector and Bionic Race chest guards for even more protection. This suit is heavily perforated in the chest, legs, arms, back, and the race hump, and perfect for riders in the warmer climates or the humid mid-west climates. Available in black, or white/black (limited sizes) Alpinestars Orbiter Suit - $899.95 -- Intermediate -- Alpinestars Orbiter Suit Full Review The Alpinestars Orbiter suit puts an emphasis on providing a comfortable riding suit that can handle multitudes of riding styles. This suit is the best all-around suit offered by Alpinestars. Perfect whether you're just out for a ride, carving up the canyons, or at a track day. Alpinestars has accomplished this by incorporating proven protection technology with new ergonomic features such as an offset zipper and copious amounts of stretch material, such as across the chest. The Orbiter is available in the black/white/red shown here, and black/white. Alpinestars GP Pro Suit - $1199.95 MSRP -- Intermediate - Advanced -- GP-Pro two piece option available -- Alpinestars GP Pro Suit Full Review One of the first suits we see in the Alpinestars collection to have heavy influences from MotoGP and WSBK development. This suit has DFS (Dynamic Friction Shield) protectors in the shoulders and elbows. Whether you drag your elbow on purpose or by accident is your choice, but at least you'll be protected! A removable, washable mesh liner will help keep this suit fresh for long into its wearable life. Also notable with this suit is a 3D mesh sleeve and ankle cuffs for breathability and added comfort with gloves and boots. Available from Riders Discount in black/white/red (shown here), black/white/grey, and black/white/hi-viz yellow. TheGP Pro two-piece suit option is available as well in black, and black/white/grey, however it is not perforated. Alpinestars Atem Suit - $1499.95 MSRP -- Advanced -- CE-approved -- Alpinestars Atem Suit full review As briefly noted, the Alpinestars Atem suit is CE-approved. Not just the armor or specific areas of the suit, the entire suit is CE-approved. This is without a doubt one of the safest suits ever produced. Alpinestars has accomplished this incredible safety rating using high-grade, highly abrasion resistant leather with additional leather reinforcements in impact zones. Adding to the protection is an array of armor that use much of the same technology found in the Race Replica suit including DFS protectors on the shoulders, elbows, and knees. The Atem is a suit that, while expensive, actually offers a great deal of bang for the buck. There aren’t currently any other suits that offer this kind of high-end tech at a price near it. On top of that, we think it’s one of the best looking suits on the market! Available in black/white/red (shown here), and black/white and black/white/yellow.
  19. The ultimate action sport shirt from Forcefield is now available at Riders Discount!

For starters, Woodcraft is using an all new thermostat that holds the temperatures to a tighter range. Tighter temperature ranges means more predictable tire feedback as soon as you get out on track. Next up, Woodcraft is using Polartec Wind Pro fabric, a new revolution in thermal fabric. This new thermal fabric features tight knit construction blocking 95% of wind. Finally, Woodcraft completely updated the construction of the tire warmers. They've gone through the entire warmer from end to end and upgraded every seam with double stitched nomex thread ensuring durability for years of abuse at the track. On top of all this, Woodcraft has retained all the great features we love from previous iterations. Their small gap heating elements ensure an evenly heated tire, fleece side curtains protect your tire from side winds, and easy, quick installation and removal of the warmers. One of the best features is their quick-disconnect plug. Woodcraft was one of the first to include a safety disconnect cord on their warmers which prevent you from accidentally leaving them on while off the bike. It is impossible to take these warmers off without disconnecting the plug first. Elasticized insulating fleece side curtains which cut heat loss at the edge of the tire In stock and ready to ship, give us a call to order these tire warmers today!
  21. Why should you buy a track vest? Everyone who rides knows the risks involved and that most of us will crash at least once in our lifetime. That's why armor for your body is a necessary investment and should be on the top of a purchase list for new riders. At the very least, we recommend a back protector of some sort. Most of us that ride or race use a back protector and/or chest protector under our motorcycle jackets or race suits. The problem with wearing just a back protector or chest protector is they can move out of place while riding. A track vest combines convenience, comfort, and most importantly - safety. Track vests, like the ones highlighted in this article, incorporate a back protector and chest armor into a zip-up vest that helps to keep the armor in its proper position. This ensures the armor works to its full potential in the event of a crash. If you're someone that constantly has trouble keeping their back protector in place, especially when putting your suit on, take a look at some of the track vest options available from Riders Discount. Three of our favorites are the Knox Track Vest V14, the Alpinestars Track Vest, and the Forcefield Airo Vest, all of which are available from Riders Discount. Check out the highlights of each item and reply with any comments or questions below.

The Airo Vest is the only vest that includes CE approved armor in both the back and the chest. Also, as an added bonus, it's the only vest to include pockets. Inside you'll find a height adjustable waist belt to help keep the back protector and vest in place. This vest is incredibly comfortable using lightweight, breathable Coolmax fabric with flat lock stitch seams that add to the comfort provided. Forcefield uses Repeat Performance Technology (RPT), that ensures protection even after multiple impacts. A huge benefit of the Forcefield Airo Track Vest is that it comes with CE approved armor right out of the bag. When you wear the Airo Vest, you know you're going to be protected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All three wear similar to a compression style shirt and are true to size. Your best bet when picking a size is to go with your preferred t-shirt size. Each vest is a great choice and regardless of which one you choose or even if you choose one not featured here, some protection is always better than no protection.

We recommend going up one size from your usual Alpinestars glove size. Worried about ordering the wrong size? Don't worry, Riders Discount has an easy returns and exchanges policy. Since their introduction, the Alpinestars GP Pro gloves have been one of the best selling pairs in the Alpinestars glove line-up. Their great balance of protection, comfort, and price made them extremely popular for both the track and the street. Alpinestars has brought out the new, re-engineered version of the the GP Pro’s, and they didn't disappoint. Apart from the new styling, the new GP Pro gloves look quite similar to the outgoing version. This is because defining features like the TPU knuckle protectors and cuff have already proven to be extremely effective at the top levels of racing and did not need to be changed. Don’t let the similar appearance fool you, because Alpinestars did make some key improvements. The most important addition is probably the L-shaped slider that sits on outside of each palm. This TPU piece helps keep the hand from catching in the event of a palms out landing. It is extremely abrasion resistant and slick so that impact energy is deflected into a slide, rather than being transmitted up the hand and into the wrist. Alpinestars kept their patented finger-bridge connecting the pinky to the ring finger, but the pinky itself received a big upgrade. Replacing the old double-layered leather is a significantly stronger system that Alpinestars calls K-Tech. This surrounds the pinky in two layers of Kevlar, two layers of leather, and energy absorbing foam for very high levels of impact protection and abrasion resistance. A Kevlar lining also covers the top of the hand, all fingers and outside of the thumb. Available today from Riders Discount, let us know what color you want to order and give us a call or send us an email to order these Alpinestars GP Pro gloves today!
