Splendora Motorcycle Gear

Ride a motorbike for the first time and it won’t take you long before you figure out why motorcycle enthusiasts love their bikes. It gives you a unique experience, so you want to ride all the time. Riding soon becomes a habit and before you know it, you have your first motorcycle. 

You ride all day. You ride to work, to school, to social gatherings and even to other countries. Unfortunately, most motorcycle owners, especially first time owners, often forget to invest in the right safety motorcycle gear. This never ends well. To stay safe, consider investing in the following motorcycle gear.

Reflective Motorcycle Gear

Many people assume that reflective and fluorescent motorcycle gear means one and the same thing. While these two terms refer to safety gear, they differ both in terms of structure and design. It is easy to tell them apart. When you talk about reflection or reflective gear, think of any material with mirror like attributes. 

Observe what light does as soon as it hits the reflective surface. It will simply reflect with the same wavelength and color. Things change when it comes to fluorescent motorcycle gear. They reflect light with different colors. They also change the wavelength as soon as light hits the surface. 

It is important to note though that both reflective and fluorescent gear significantly contribute to visibility when you are riding in foggy or dark conditions.  Of these two however, reflective gear can serve you in a broader range of conditions. Remember that when it comes to attaining visibility as a rider, every reflecting detail of your bike and what you wear can make a huge difference.

What about a Motorcycle Airbag Jacket?

These became popular immediately after release into the market. It is easy to understand why. The jackets behave in exactly the same way that car airbags do. The jacket features a system that deploys the built in airbag. This forces air pockets to quickly inflate so as to secure the most vulnerable body parts especially around the torso and collarbone areas. 

The Smart Brake Module

As a biker, you always want other road users to notice you on the road. As already mentioned, anything that can increase your visibility without compromising the safety of other road users adds to your safety. So each time you brake, your deceleration ends up communicated to other road users behind you through your brake lights. 

Unfortunately, brake lights do not operate when you use engine braking.  As soon as your release the throttle, and move down through the gears your speed rapidly decreases. This means you can easily get rear ended. With smart phone motorcycle accessories like the Smart Break Module, you can easily brake using your motorcycle engine. The module will turn on the brake lights just as your bike does each time you break the normal way.

The Helmet

This is a no brainer. Do not ever ride without your helmet. Invest in a top quality, sturdy helmet that will last for years. Make sure your helmet is comfortable. Finding one should not be hard especially now when the market is awash with smart helmets which feature perks like voice control, rear view camera and smart connectivity.
