P102 STUFF I ARAI XD-5 HELMET Starting at $839.95 www.araiamericas.com Arai's new dual-sport XD-5 helmet has a wider opening for easier on/off and a new VAS-A faceshield system with more surface area to glance off impact energy. The pinlock-ready faceshield is now easier to swap without the need for tools, and it is removeable so the helmet can be configured for using goggles when riding off-road. The XD-5's shell is ready for adding comms, and its peak is removable for better aerodynamics when riding on pavement. DAINESE AXIAL 2 BOOTS $679.95 www.dainese.com The Axial 2 Boots are the newest iteration of Dainese's top-of-the-line racing boots and are the same as the boots worn on the track by Dainese's MotoGP racers. The boots use Dainese's Axial Distortion Control System in Kevlar carbon to protect the feet, and Velcro at the shins secures them to the inner legs of Dainese racing suits. They have Groundtrax racing soles, replaceable magnesium sliders and internal lacing. The outer zipper fastening system is conveniently located at the rear of the boots.
