Kawasaki unveils a trio of 2021 twins
Stay stylish this winter with limited-edition Kawasaki MX clothing range
Kawasaki is pleased to announce a limited-edition range of motocross apparel, specifically designed for riders and MX enthusiasts alike. The first MX clothing collection in four years consists of men's and women's t-shirts, polo tops, sweatshirts, jackets, body warmers and hats, and is available now.
With the all-new Kawasaki 2021 motocross machines arriving in dealers as we speak, the brand is pleased to confirm both fans and riders can also now enjoy a new MX apparel collection. The new MX-dedicated range is the same as that worn by the Kawasaki Racing Team in MXGP and features the KRT logo alongside official sponsors such as Monster Energy. The limited-edition range consists of a Men's t-shirt and polo top, as well as a ladies' polo top. Both options are made from 100% polyester which is lightweight and breathable, and are suitable for use all year round.
As the weather begins to cool, MX fans will be able to keep themselves warm with dedicated men's and women's sweatshirts, winter jacket and body warmer. The new MX collection also features a KRT MXGP cap and beanie.
Dean Clewley, Business Operations Manager at Kawasaki Motors UK, added, “We're very excited to be launching a brand new range of motocross apparel, the first new MX-dedicated clothing since 2016. The stylish new range is suitable for use throughout the year and is sure to look great in racing paddocks and motocross tracks across the country!”
#UNLOCKYOURFREEDOM
Kawasaki Motors UK are supporting the #UnlockYourFreedom initiative that has been launched by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) to highlight the reasons why riding a scooter or motorcycle is a great alternative to stay isolated and safe.
Government advice states: ''Consider all other forms of transport before using public transport,” therefore increasing numbers of people are looking for reliable and quick modes of transport during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Motorcyclists across the world already know the benefits of two wheels - they're affordable, economical, fun and can help ease congestion. However, the list of advantages has been expanded even further now that being socially distanced is high on people's agendas. Now, choosing two-wheels is a safer alternative to public transport as it allows individuals to remain isolated and a safe distance from others outside of their households.
If you're 17 or over, you can ride a motorcycle or scooter up to 125cc or 11KW having completed your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT). Or if you're 16, you're able to ride a scooter up to 50cc without even passing a test, all you have to do is complete CBT which often takes as little as one day.
