It seems like buying a race suit can be as difficult as buying a new bike, especially with the wide range of options available on the market and retail pricing ranging from $899.95 to $1999.95. That's we created this Alpinestars Suit Guide! Here's a brief summary of each suit to help you decide which suit is best for you. ...but 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 on 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 probably going to look ridiculous putting it on. We've all been there! After you get your suit zipped up, go out to your bike and sit on it. Get into a tuck, then position yourself 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 not. 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! Check out all of the Alpinestars women's race suits here. Give us a call if you have questions about sizing or if you'd like to purchase a suit.

When looking to protect your ride in the event of a tip-over, frame slider kits are some of the most commonly purchased accessories from Riders Discount.

With the cheap sliders that stick out, a simple slide at speed can turn disastrous if it were to catch on something and throw your bike into a tumble. Notice the unique flatter, rounded design of these Puig PRO frame slider kits? Puig has designed these frame sliders to greatly reduce the chances of them catching and causing your bike to flip. The Puig PRO frame slider kits include all hardware required for install. Installation is fairly easy but may require you to remove the fairings on some bikes. These are no-cut sliders, so there is no cutting required. The brackets are black anodized billet aluminum offering a solid mount to the frame. The slider pucks themselves are high impact nylon with some pucks offering a model specific logo. On the end you'll find interchangeable rubber bumpers that prevent injury to the rider in the event of an impact while riding. The grey color shown here comes standard with all kits. Replacement parts are available and blue, green, and red rubber bumpers are also available as an optional accessory. Give our expert sales staff a call to place your order today!

Add strength and good looks to your engine cases with these case covers from Woodcraft Technologies available at Riders Discount. Typically, OEM case covers are made of thin cast metal that’s weaker than these CNC-machined beauties making them unreliable in a crash situation. The damage can be more than cosmetic, with leaking fluids, damaged stator parts and a time-intensive repair that won’t be cheap or easy. Woodcraft products are not yet available on our website. For more information, call MIKE at 866.931.6644 ext 804 or send him an email – FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! For example on a GEN 4 ZX10 the stator cover MSRP $209.99 and ignition cover MSRP $139.99. Woodcraft case covers are sculpted from 6061 billet aluminum, the one-piece design is as artful as it is purposeful and will provide additional strength to areas that traditionally don’t always hold up so great in a crash. Woodcraft Triumph 675 case covers are engineered for a perfect fit and will not induce any bodywork clearance issues at all. And because they’re made in the USA by Woodcraft, each cover comes with a replaceable skid pad that’s designed to take the brunt of the crash, leaving you with a case cover that’s much less likely to require a total replacement. And, spare crash pads are available in your choice of stainless steel (thinner, for race applications) and black, blue, red or clear finishes. Each case cover kit also includes a new gasket, so you don’t have to worry about sourcing any additional parts to get them installed. The finish machining of each case cover is brilliant and these will not go unnoticed at the track or on bike night. A look inside the stator cover reveals that all mounting points for the OEM hardware have been drilled and tapped. All passages for routing the wiring safely have also been retained. The arrangement replicates exactly the OEM hardware and wiring setup for reliability and ease of installation. Woodcraft crash pads are attached to the case cover with three bolts from the inside which helps to ensure that 1). The piece does not fall off in a crash and 2). That the pad can be easily replaced after a crash since the attachment hardware will not be ground away. Pictured here for the Yamaha R1

Spidi has been producing gloves since the 1970’s and their 35+ years of experience means that they are no strangers to designing gear that performs at the highest level. The Italian brand used all of this experience, plus input and data from world-class riders like Andrea Dovisioso to bring us their latest and greatest pair of gloves – the Spidi Carbo Track. Available from Riders Discount, the Spidi Carbo Track gloves are full grain cowhide gauntlets that are held together with sturdy Kevlar thread. Multiple layers of leather cover vulnerable areas like the fingers, while synthetic Clarino is laid over it to reinforce the palms. The gloves are also bristling with other protective materials that work with the high-end leather to keep your hands safe. Like many gloves, you will find carbon fiber guards over the knuckles and back of the hands, but there are also multiple layers of energy absorbing materials underneath these pieces that help keep impact force to a minimum. The most noticeable feature of the Carbo Track gloves, however, has to be Spidi’s Warrior Tech system. These are the panels of rubbery, plastic-like material that run from the wrist to the pinkie on the outside of the hand. The material itself is highly abrasion resistant, has excellent impact absorbing properties, and works as a slider to deflect energy away. It is separated in to cube shaped pieces within each panel that allow it to flex extremely well without reducing the amount of protection it provides. Spidi’s Carbo Track gloves are both track ready and comfortable enough to be worn on the street, so they make a great option for any rider that is looking for high-end gloves that provide excellent protection and build quality. You can order a pair by getting in touch with MIKE through the forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804. If email is more convenient, feel free to send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away! The Spidi Carbo Track gloves are shown here in the Dovisioso replica graphic, but are also available in White/Black, Black, Black/Red, and Black/Yellow. The palm is reinforced with Clarino and Spidi’s Warrior Tech panels act as palm sliders. From the opposite side you can see how the Warrior Tech panel wraps around and covers the outside of the palm as well. Carbon fiber protects the knuckles and back of the hand. Multiple layers of energy absorbing materials are stacked underneath to keep impact energy to a minimum.

Street-specific armor for the street rider, that’s what you get with the Icon Stryker Vest. Not that there’s anything wrong with wearing a back protector built for racers on the road, it’s just that Icon was looking out for all-day users that didn’t want to walk around with an odd growth flailing off their backs everywhere they went. Building upon the proven Icon Field Armor vest, the Stryker ups the ante with an even better back protector and significantly improved ergonomics. Comparing the two, you’ll notice right away how flexible the Stryker feels compared to the older version which will allow you to move down the road unencumbered by your protective gear. The Stryker Vest’s primary point of safety is its large CE-approved back protector. It’s laid out in a low-profile design for an easy fit no matter what you wear. Articulating injection molded plates make up its outer shell, below which, layers of armor are ready to absorb the energy of a fall while keeping you comfortable at the same time. Below these plates, Airmesh and Biofoam layers are used (which also make up the rest of its chassis), so ventilation is looked after here. Just below that, you’ll find a d3o intelligent shock absorbing back protector. This material is soft and pliable to the touch, but instantly becomes rigid when a great deal of force is applied to it. In this way, you get a flexible energy-absorbing pad when you’re cruising and a solid, energy-dispersing piece of armor should you hit the deck suddenly. This piece is also perforated to encourage cooling performance. Finally, on the inside of vest, you’ll find a layer of Hydradry fabric. This moisture-wicking material keeps you cool no matter if you’re in a t-shirt of full leather jacket. Adjustable Velcro tabs on the shoulders and sides give you a customizable fit no matter your build and the Stryker Vest is available in adjustable sizes that range from small to three x-large.

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.

Don't let that deter you from buying them though, these are some seriously top-notch boots. The external anti-twist ankle support braces, as well as SIDI's vertebra system and TPU shin plate armor offer the highest level of protection against any crashes you may have. These do not have a perforated option, however SIDI does include controllable vents on the outer part of your foot to move some air through. On the bottom you'll find a dual compound sole with a deep heel cut that really lets you hook on to your pegs for stability through the corner. What's really neat about these is their Techno 3 adjustable calf system. Just like the other more expensive SIDI boots, this allows you to fine tune the fit of the boot to suit your specific leg. What we didn't like before on older SIDI boots was it seemed to take too long to get into your boot and twist all the dials, now it's a very quick procedure getting in and out of your boot.
