The perfect outfit for the new season

Even a very long winter with icy temperatures can't change one thing: the growing sense of anticipation as the 2018 motorcycling season gets closer and closer. Man and machine can hardly wait to get back on the road – or off the road. BMW Motorrad provides support in preparing for the first spring tours. The 2018 range of rider equipment comprises ideal products for every climate zone and route as well as state-of-the-art safety technology and cutting-edge design.
BMW Motorrad wishes all riders an exciting, eventful an above all safe season in 2018. These are the highlights of the 2018 rider equipment range:

Rallye suit – premium equipment for globetrotters.
The latest generation of the Rallye suit designed for off-road use is available in two new colour combinations: Blue/Black and Grey. The material mix of the premium suit reflects the very latest technology: the functional fabric ProTechWool consists of polyamide and wool with a carbon finish. It is compressed under pressure and heat, thereby making it highly abrasion resistant. The elbows and knees now have additional protection with ceramic dot prints. The Rallye suit is fitted with removable NP2 protectors with the addition of the new enlarged NP Pro back protector.

One particular innovation in the Rallye suit is the button-in jacket insert. It is waterproof and robust enough to be worn as an outsert over the suit so as to provide protection from soiling and moisture. A waterproof zip-in insert is available for the trousers. The suit is excellently ventilated due to ventilation zips and an expansive vent on the back. Other updates for the Rallye suit include a number of details ranging from a small, concealed interior pocket at the waistband for cash and cards through to an extended leather patch on the insides of the knees for an excellent grip on the fuel tank when riding off-road.

GS Dry suit – waterproof adventurer for men and women.
The GS Dry suit has an impressively distinctive down-to-earth look that is emphasised with the new colours Black and Grey. The suit is now made of a new basic material: a high-strength mixture of CORDURA 500 and polyamide developed specially by #BMW Motorrad itself. The breathable fabric offers an extremely dense structure. For significantly increased abrasion resistance, a PU layer with ceramic particles has been used to reinforce the sensitive areas.

The GS Dry suit is unrivalled in terms of climate control: it is the only garment of its kind to offer special waterproof-bonded zips at the chest and back, opening not just the upper material but the membrane, too. This ensures a direct and highly effective ventilation and air extraction for the upper body. In addition to NP2 protectors of the latest generation, the GS Dry suit now also features the long version of the new NP Pro back protector for maximum safety. The GS Dry suit is available in identical colours for men and women for a perfect partner look.

Atlantis suit – unique, top-quality piece of equipment for all weathers. 
Every one is a unique specimen because the all-weather leather touring suit Atlantis is made of hand-picked breathable nubuck leather which becomes increasingly attractive the more it is used. It comes solely from young pasture-raised bulls in the Alpine region and offers a high degree of elasticity and thickness – 1.2 to 1.4 millimetres – as well as maximum abrasion resistance. For the 2018 collection, this luxurious suit undergoes a particularly elaborate manufacturing process: low-impact, sustainable mineral tanning produces a leather that is extremely soft and skin-friendly but still highly robust. The special hydrophobing applied during the manufacturing process makes it extremely water-repellent while still fully retaining the leather's natural breathable properties. As such the Atlantis suit ensures excellent climate comfort.
