Continental TKC 70 Adventure Motorcycle Tires

Continental’s TKC 70 adventure motorcycle tires feature rugged off-road capability with balanced street performance. Combining the best of Continental’s TKC 80 and ContiTrailAttack 3 tires, the TKC 70s are made in Germany and have a speed index of 149 mph.

See Rider‘s tire reviews here.

These tires were designed to address complaints of the short wear-life of the more off-road-oriented TKC80 tires with a more street-oriented design ideal for larger-displacement ADV bikes. The TKC 70s have an 80% on-road and 20% off-road balance, making them perfect for light to medium trails.

The tread block pattern makes these tires quiet and stable on the road while providing good capability for off-road use. The Multi-Grip compound technology allows for different levels of hardness on the central tread and shoulder areas for both longevity and grip. Aggressive rain grooves add to the all-weather capabilities of the TKC 70 tires.

The Continental TKC 70 adventure motorcycle tires are available in a variety of sizes starting at $179.95, and they are eligible for Continental’s free 3-year roadside warranty.

The HeliBars Horizon HSTX handlebar for Can-Am Spyder F3 from model years 2015-22 allows riders to move the handlebar position 1.5-5 inches taller than stock and 1-4.5 inches rearward toward the rider. This adjustment potential gives riders better control and comfort for a more individual fit.

Related: 2024 Can-Am Spyder F3 and RT Review | First Look

HeliBars has been making handblebars in America for more than 30 years. Based in Maine, the company is dedicating to helping riders find their perfect comfort zone. The company has bars available for most major manufacturers, and all products are backed up by a one-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

This handlebar is great for short riders who want a shorter reach to the bar, and it’s also beneficial for taller riders to have the ability to dial in their preferred handlebar position. Compared to stock, the HSTX handlebar provides 30-degree forward and back wrist angle adjustment and fully adjustable reach. It works with OEM cables, wire looms, and hydraulic lines.

See Rider‘s Parts & Accessories reviews here.

Installation is simple and requires swapping out the lower bent mounting tube and leaving the controls attached to the stock handlebar tubes. Then, re-attach them to the new mounting pivot. An install video on HeliBars’ website makes walks viewers through each step.

This handlbar part is specific to the 2015-22 Can-Am Spyder F3 and cannot be used on other models. However, HeliBars also has bars for other Can-Am models available on its website.

The HeliBars Horizon HSTX is available for $629.

BMW Rallye Motorcycle Suit

The Rallye motorcycle suit by BMW Motorrad is an off-road-ready suit with useful features. It’s designed for warm to moderate temperatures, and it’s made of ProTechWool, a quick-drying temperature-regulating performance fabric made from wool and polyamide with a carbon finish.

An included wind- and waterproof liner keeps you dry and can also be worn over the jacket for protection against dirt and debris. The pants of the suit include a wind- and waterproof climate membrane insert with comfort mapping, and the suit’s material is reinforced in areas most susceptible to falls.

BMW Rallye Suit Jacket

Ideal for off-road riding, a long leather trim on the interior of the knee allows for secure grip, and the elastic mesh lining in the jacket adds breathability.

The jacket comes in NP2 protectors in the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees (adjustable to three heights), with a long HP Pro back protector.

See Rider‘s apparel reviews here.

For ventilation, the Rallye Suit uses a system of flaps on the chest, zips on the arms and legs, and a large air outlet panel on the back. A 3D air-mesh lining on the back allows better air circulation under the back protector.

BMW Rallye Suit Pants

The jacket has six front pockets, one large and one small pocket on the lower back, and two zipped inner pockets. The pants have four pockets. Reflective material on the sleeves, back, and pants provides visibility, and the wide, adjustable leg opening make getting into and out of the suit easier.

The BMW Rallye Suit is available in a large range of sizes in Black/Blue or Grey for $1,398.

Aerostich Off-Road Motorcycle Jersey

If you need a comfortable long-sleeved shirt for any type of riding, Aerostich’s Off-Road Motorcycle Jersey will become a favorite in your gear closet.

See Rider‘s apparel reviews here.

Aerostich Off-Road Motorcycle Jersey

Aero Design & Mfg. Co. Inc. started in 1983 with the goal of developing “a completely new type of textile-based gear for motorcyclists.” The efforts of that goal resulted in the Roadcrafter suit, which is still available as the Roadcrafter Classic. Aerostich’s popular R-3 suit is the third generation of the Roadcrafter, and the R-3 can now be custom-tailored for an exact fit.

The Off-Road Jersey is another iteration of Aerostich’s commitment to rider comfort and safety, and it’s made in Aerostich’s factory in Duluth, Minnesota, right alongside the Roadcrafter and R-3 suits.

Aerostich Off-Road Motorcycle Jersey

Made of heavy-duty polyester, this knit motorcycle jersey is more substantial than most jerseys, and it maintains a comfortable feel even when wet. Lightly padded elbows and Lycra collar and cuffs ensure durability and a good fit, and it self-stores in a hidden pocket. The jersey is easy to pack, takes up minimal room, and adds comfort to your ride.

The Off-Road Jersey is available in Black, Green, or Grey in sizes M-2XL for $97.
