KEIS: Winter Riders Wanted
The case opens on 17 September Most UK riders put the bike away in October and don’t look at it again until April. Shockingly, intelligence suggests there are increasing numbers who’re still out there in December, January and even February, riding to work, riding for the sake of it, apparently immune to the weather. KEIS thinks that warrants an investigation. ‘Wanted’ follows a pair of dogged detectives as they work through a list of suspects: riders and influencers repeatedl

Powerful new OptiMate charger for all 12V starter batteries
Modern vehicles are packed with electronics and fitted with high-performance batteries to compensate; more advanced, more expensive and far less forgiving when neglected. The new OptiMate 6 Select is designed to protect that investment: one premium charger that gives every battery exactly the charge it needs, not just something close enough. Three selectable modes cover every type of 12V starter or auxiliary battery: standard lead-acid (including EFB and GEL), premium AGM, a

Venhill Steps in for Honda CR Riders
Venhill has introduced a new range of Exhaust Valve Cables for the Honda CR125R and CR250R; a niche but significant addition that will be welcome news for owners of the much-loved two-stroke motocrossers. OEM cables for the CR125R have been discontinued by Honda for some time, and the NOS options that once filled the gap have now all but disappeared. For the CR250R, factory parts remain available for now, but with supply dwindling, the window is closing. Venhill's cables offe

Keep Motorcycle Parts Moving with XCP
Motorcycles are full of moving parts that need regular attention: levers, cables, brake and clutch pivots, side stand hinges; every one of them benefits from a quality lubricant.

Bike or Hike with new boots from LS2

Comfort is key to enjoying any journey, so an ergonomic, sweat-absorbing insole keeps feet fresh on long days, while the premium 3D mesh outer shell provides ventilation to stop overheating.

Watsonian's Electric Sidecar Outfit
Watsonian Sidecars have developed a fitting Kit for the Livewire S2 Del Mar (2024-'25) - their first for a production electric motorcycle. "Designing a fitting kit for an electric bike like the Livewire is particuclarly challenging" explains Watsonian General Manager Ben Hall. "It doesn't have a conventional frame, and a cast alloy battery box sits where the engine would be found, so there are no suitable mounting points to attach a sidecar.

Bee Cool with Weise Hive Gloves
Weise™ Hive summer gloves are made for the new realities of British summer riding. With UK temperatures regularly pushing into the high twenties and beyond, proper ventilation has moved from a luxury to a necessity. The starting point for the Hive is their 3D mesh construction.
