The Arai staff have been pretty busy lately, because the Vector comes right on the heels of the recently released and all-new Arai Profile, which replaced the Signet. The Vector (known as the Arai Chaser in the UK), which replaces the Astral-X in the company’s lineup. It is so new that...
The Triboseat seat cover gets its name from the science of tribology. Tribology, by the way, is not the study...
Convertible helmet for motorcycle and/or snowmobile use is a bit clumsy on the road. Our reviews of the Shoei Hornet, Arai XD and Airoh...
It was exactly two years ago today that we took delivery of the unique clone Jacket and Pants for evaluation. At that time, we came away very impressed with Teknic’s “out of the box” thinking and the multiple features that made the outfit a real standout. The uniqueness of the...

Stylish comfort that works to block the wind. It provides about an extra 10 degrees Fahrenheit worth of protection when...
Blue Away “Motorcycle Exhaust Blue Remover Cream” didn’t work very well in this trial. The Counterman rang up my order and announced “That’ll be $41.63.” I remember thinking that it seemed like a lot of dosh for an oil filter, a small bottle of Blue Away (2.5 ounces, to be...

The Bell Apex is made with very high quality, it has a comfortable liner, good air flow on the chin...
Our review of the Arai XD was way more popular than we anticipated. And that tells me that there’s a huge market for what we’re calling “dual sport” motorcycle helmets! I’m not sure if it’s the enormous popularity of the BMW R1200GS or the maybe-it’ll-be-here-someday Supermoto fad that drives the interest in...
I can feel it around here lately because we’re beginning to wonder just what really does make one helmet better than another....
Our HJC AC-12 Carbon fiber helmet finally arrived! We first reported on this helmet during our live webcast from the...
It was almost exactly one year ago today, I discovered, that I wrote the review on DuPont’s Teflon Chain Lube. I found it while waiting in the checkout aisle at my local Lowe’s hardware store and it seemed cheap enough at $4.95 for an 8 oz. spray can (or $6.95 for...

Airoh S4 Motorcycle Helmet Our recent review of the Arai XD “Enduro” styled helmet has generated a lot of interest from webBikeWorld...
For some reason, Arai doesn’t strike me as a company that takes a daring approach to motorcycle helmet design. I’m sure there are many who will disagree with me, but the words that come to mind when I think of Arai are deliberate, evolutionary and staid. Radical they’re not. Maybe...

Interesting concept but it seems more cumbersome than simply cleaning the chain with kerosene. Our continuous search for the easiest and most efficient motorcycle chain cleaning methods and products continues… A visitor suggested we try the Moose Chain Scrubber, which is designed to clean a motorcycle chain with a minimum...

Nice rechargeable LED work light with a big, soft, rubbery handle. The Freedom Lite LED work light is handy for the garage, shop and home. And best of all, it’s made in Canada! It’s been a very warm winter so far here in the Mid-Atlantic, which is a real bonus...

Bell Helmets used to own the industry in a way that’s hard to understand by anyone who doesn’t remember. There are dozens of excellent helmets to choose from today, manufactured to very high quality standards and meeting the world’s best safety standards. I have no proof to back up this...

The Battery Doc Motorcycle Battery Charger and Observations on the Battery Tender Plus The Battery Doc is a smaller-sized charger. It works well…but so do many others.

Very interesting product that is claimed safe for O-ring chains. Sprays out as a liquid, then dries to a waxy touch. Repels water and dirt. Claimed to last 3-5 times longer in friction testing than competitors. NOTE: This product is no longer made in this form. See our updated DuPont Teflon...

“Professional grade” front stand. Cross bracing and 1″ steel tubing makes for a beefy product that seems stronger than the competition. High quality powder coating. Dual wheels spread out the weight and make the stand easier to use. If I was motorcycle King for the day, I would decree that...

Although I’m partial to wearing motorcycle racing style gloves with the highest levels of protection, I’m also a realist. I realize that there are some motorcyclists who either wear no gloves at all (very foolish, in my opinion) or who can’t afford or don’t want a $175.00+ pair of high-end gloves. Also,...
