RIDING GEAR:
What Should I Have to Ride and Race?
The mandatory items are:
D.O.T. approved helmet
eye protection
boots
gloves
long pants
long sleeve jersey
The recommended items:
At a minimum, we STRONGLY suggest a durable set of motocross gear. We would also suggest:
elbow pads
knee pads
tailbone pad
hip pads
shoulder and back protection (a MX chest protector will work)
leather gloves
motocross boots
All of the above is available and in stock at Cycle Hutt, 1522 E. Main
Ave., Bismarck, ND 58501
In the event that you and your bike should separate, you will appreciate the extra protection. Trust us on this one!
If you want to wear MX gear, there are several companies that sell a protective "armor" jacket that can be worn under a MX jersey. They range in price, but are worth every penny. Once again, "trust us!"
Do I need to wear leathers?
You do not "need" to wear leathers. There are plenty of people who wear MX gear. However, there is nothing better to protect you from road rash than a good set of leathers. Prices on leathers can range anywhere from $300 for a set off the rack at your local dealer to $1500 or so from custom racing leather manufacturers. This may sound expensive, but ponder the thought of replacing MX gear every time that you burn a hole in it over a two year period, and the cost is about the same.
At Cycle Hutt, we have the protective gear you need in stock. Check us out on the web or at 1522 East Main Avenue, Bismarck, ND 58501. Or you can call us at 1-877-RACEKTM.
