Helmet: Your Essential Shield
The helmet is undoubtedly the most critical piece of protective gear. It's vital to choose one that fits well and meets safety standards. For beginners, we recommend the Ryder Street Helmet, which features advanced protection technology, ample ventilation, and a clear visor for excellent visibility. Remember, a helmet isn’t just about protection; it’s about comfort and fit. Ensure it snugly fits your head without being too tight.
Jacket: Protection and Style Combined
A good motorcycle jacket protects you from the elements, road rash, and provides impact protection. Look for jackets with CE-certified armour in high-impact areas such as the back, shoulders, and elbows. The Ryder Classic Leather Jacket is a perfect blend of style and safety, offering robust protection and a timeless look that suits any rider.Gloves: Your First Line of Defence
Your hands are often the first point of contact in a fall, making gloves an essential part of your gear. The Ryder Pro-Rider Gloves are designed with reinforced palm protection and knuckle guards, ensuring your hands are shielded without compromising on grip or comfort.
Jeans or Trousers: Don’t Overlook Lower Body Protection
While often underestimated, protecting your lower body is just as important. The Ryder Touring Trousers offer both protection and comfort for long rides, featuring knee protectors and abrasion-resistant material, keeping you safe and comfortable on your journey.Boots: Sturdy Foundation
Motorcycle boots protect your feet and ankles from impacts and abrasions. The Ryder Explorer Boots are designed for durability and comfort, providing strong ankle support, a non-slip sole, and waterproofing for all-weather riding.
Additional Gear: Completing Your Armour
Beyond the basics, consider additional gear like a back protector, which can be added to jackets for extra spine protection. The Ryder Backbone Protector is lightweight and flexible, offering an additional layer of safety without discomfort.
Visibility is another critical aspect of safety, especially for beginners. The Ryder Hi-Vis Vest enhances your visibility to other road users, significantly improving safety during low-light conditions.
Preparing for the Elements
British weather can be unpredictable, making it essential to prepare for all conditions. Consider investing in waterproof and thermal gear to keep you dry and warm. The Ryder Storm-Proof Rain Suit and Thermal Base Layers are ideal for staying comfortable regardless of the weather.
