Add a tasteful custom look to your bike with a Puig Tire Hugger from Riders Discount. These huggers are made from a durable ABS plastic and use anti-vibration mounts so that they can hold up against just about anything your rear tire can throw at them. Available in both black and carbon fiber look, they look good while keeping your undertail clean. We have these available for most modern sportbikes, but they are not listed on our website yet.

Riders Discount also has the Spidi Carbo-3’s available in the two newest colors. Fluorescent Yellow: And the Italian flavored Red/White/Green:

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 2012 and you still find world class riders like Cal Crutchlow and Andrea Dovisioso representing them in MotoGP. Today’s Riders Discount spotlight is actually on the glove of choice for both of these world class racers - the Spidi Carbo-3. Spidi’s Carbo-3 gloves 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. The internal seams Spidi used in the fingers can barely be felt and they don’t hinder the movement of the fingers 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 outside of the hand, running up 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 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 Nathan at 866.931.6644 ext. 809 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! The Carbo-3’s are available in Black, Black/Red, and White/Black. Flor. Yellow and Green/White/Red are also available (photos coming soon). The palm of the Carbo-3 feature double layered leather, clarino reinforcement, and energy absorbing foam pads. Spidi introduced a new molded carbon fiber knuckle protector on the Carbo-3 gloves. Carbon fiber, energy absorbing foam, and double layered leather help protect the fingers. Everything is kept snugly in place by the wrist strap and overlapping velcro at the end of the gauntlet.

Black/yellow not your style? We also have the 2012 Alpinestars Race Replica suit available in white/red and black.

Hey, whatever works!

The suit is definitely very nice having tried it out a few times.

The Motion Pro Chain Alignment tool may not be new to the market, but it is something we highly recommend adding to your toolbox. This simple tool that takes all the guesswork out of aligning your rear wheel and lets you know if you need to make any adjustments at a glance. All you need to do is clamp the body of the tool onto your rear sprocket, take a quick look at the rod to see if it lines up with the chain and... well... that’s it! If you do need to make any adjustments, you can do so with the tool still attached, glance at the chain again, and remove it when you’re work is done. These aren’t available on our website yet, so give Nathan a call at 866.931.6644 ext. 809 if you’re interested. You can also shoot us a PM through the forum or send an email to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM if that’s more convenient and we’ll get back to you right away.

While Jorge Lorenzo, Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa may be battling it out as the top three in the MotoGP championship this season, they do have one thing in common (other than their seemingly superhuman talent, that is). This common ground is that they all wear Alpinestars’ top of the line suit. You may not be able to walk into a dealer and leave with a MotoGP prototype bike like Lorenzo’s Yamaha YZR-M1 or the Honda RC213V of Stoner and Pedrosa, but you can give Riders Discount a call and have the same suit worn by some of the best riders in the world delivered right to your door - the Alpinestars Racing Replica. The 2012 Alpinestars Racing Replica is the brand’s flagship suit, so they used their premium, full grain, 1.3mm leather for the highest level of abrasion resistance and durability. The leather pieces are sewn together into an aggressive race fit using multiple-stitched main seams that are extremely resistant to tearing. Perforation is abundant on the large leather panels, but it is not found from seam to seam. Alpinestars carefully thought out the layout of the perforations in order to provide a great deal of ventilation without reducing the strength of the leather by punching too many holes in it. For this reason, you will find that there are no perforations next to the seams, or in high risk abrasion zones. In addition to high-grade leather, a variety of armor types beef up the protection provided by the Racing Replica. Starting at the top of the suit, the shoulders have hard, thermoplastic molded shoulder protectors that not only provide a great deal of impact protection, but also vent air through the open channels in the shell. Alpinestars has done a lot of research and gathered a lot of data, so they are very familiar with the parts of the body that touch down first and most often in a crash. This is why they beefed up the elbows and forearms by using a seamless leather construction with external PU protectors on top. These take the brunt of the impact and slide instead of catching the pavement. Impact energy is further mitigated by the CE certified armor and energy absorbing foam found underneath the leather. Inside the torso, Alpinestars provides a CE level 2 back protector and a chest protector. The chest also has pockets that allow you to easily add the Bionic Chest Guards if you choose to do so. Continuing down the suit, you will find the tried and true knee protectors that will be familiar to those that have worn the previous generation suit. Alpinestars did not carry these over to the new suit because they are cutting corners, they did so because they are highly effective. External TPU armor wraps around the knee and CE certified protectors with energy absorbing foam backs it up underneath. One unique aspect of these knee protectors is the is the soft grip patch found on the inner surface of each of each leg that helps give you better contact with the bike. All of this protection means that the new Racing Replica is not exactly lightweight, but this doesn’t mean it’s uncomfortable. The new Racing Replica is a stiff suit at first and many think it is too small when they first try it on, but it stretches and conforms to your body very quickly thanks to the abundant leather and Kevlar stretch panels. Torso mobility is aided by the new leather stretch panels encircling the shoulder and connecting to the collar. These same panels branch off and run down down the side of the body to the waist. The lower body is flexible due to the use of Kevlar stretch material in the crotch and back of the legs, but this ends at the knee. Leather stretch panels take over again at that point to surround the knee armor and cover the entire calf. The calf is another area that generally feels tight the first time the suit is worn, but it stretches to your size quickly. One of the reasons that you find the additional stretch panels in the upper body is the optional Tech Air airbag system. This system is a great piece of technology that Alpinestars has been developing for more than 10 years. It uses sensors and a computer to constantly monitor rider movement so that it can determine if a crash is imminent by recognizing movements that deviate from the norm. In the event that a crash is going to happen, the airbags can be deployed in less than .05 seconds to protect the shoulders and collarbones. The Tech Air Airbag system is not available through Alpinestars dealers at this time and must be purchased directly through Alpinestars themselves. The Alpinestars Racing Replica suit is the best suit on the market, whether you use the airbag system or not and we can’t recommend it highly enough. You can inquire about yours by getting in touch with XXXX through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. XXX. If email is more convenient for you, feel free to send one to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! This suit is available in black, white/red, and the black/yellow/white shown here. MSRP $2899.95 Leather stretch panels make this a flexible suit and give the additional expansion room necessary for the optional Tech Air Airbag system. The leather is perforated in a way that gives a lot of airflow without taking away from the strength of the leather. The collar is soft for comfort and it lets air flow right through it. The hump also catches air and sends it down your back to help keep you cool. Knee armor not only protects, but also helps you grip your bike. The grey portion shown on the inside of this knee is the softer grip pad. The Alpinestars Racing Replica comes with a CE level 2 back protector and removable chest protector. Get extra protection by adding the optional Bionic Chest guards! Tech-Air Airbag ready!
