No, it’s not ISIS, it’s iXS, a veteran Swiss gear manufacturer that wants to make inroads in the North American market, and why not?

iXS Press Release:

Sports Jacket RS-400-ST

Trimmed for sport
Powerful appearance

The Sports Jacket RS-400-ST from iXS makes sure you project a dynamic image. With the body-hugging cut, sporty design and attractive colouring, you are ready to face the next challenge. All the aspects of the versatile trendsetter in terms of shape and colour are impressive. The ventilation is very effective via four ventilation openings on the chest and back – a real benefit when it gets really hot.

Specially developed for the stresses and strains of sport-touring, this textile jacket is extremely versatile and comfortable – completely independent of the weather. It is characterised by a resistant outer shell made of 600D Polyoxford. The additional benefit of a removable thermal lining provides an extended range of use. For trips when the weather is uncertain, the solution is a solto-TEX® membrane with water barrier. It makes the bomber jacket 100% water- and wind-proof and yet it retains its breathability.

Ergonomically shaped sleeves, Velcro fastenings on the wrists and collar, hip adjuster and width adjuster at the elbows and upper arm area give the wearer many individual adjustment options, which add to the level of comfort when it is being worn. Protectors at the elbows and shoulders (certified in accordance with EN 1621-1:2012, Level 1), connecting zip and reflective inserts are part of the high quality standard of iXS. Two outer and three inner pockets provide lots of space for your wallet, mobile phone etc. The Sports Jacket RS-400-ST from iXS made of sturdy textile material combines its sporty, highperformance appearance thanks to the integrated solto-TEX® membrane with perfect weather protection. The dynamic appearance is ideal for wearing with textile trousers or jeans. Six different colour variations offer a wide range of possible combinations.

All or nothing: MotoGP™ hits boiling point at Buriram

Leave a comment

Grands Prix aren’t just about the title fight though. Last year Yamaha weren’t far behind the leading duo and Maverick Viñales and Valentino Rossi will be gunning to put Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP back on the podium, and Danilo Petrucci, Dovizioso’s teammate, needs a result. After a tougher run of form in the last few races, Buriram could be a good track for the Ducati man to bounce back, and he’ll want to – quickly.

Marquez vs Moto2™: the start of the home straight?

Leave a comment

That story, ultimately, is one of consistency. Marquez has lost out once through a mistake of his own,  and he’s reaping the rewards of the combination of speed and settling when it’s necessary. Navarro just behind him has been a fairly consistent presence each race weekend too, although he’s yet to stand on the top step. That means that if Marquez does start to feel the pressure, Navarro could end up challenging for the crown from the rare position of not being a race winner…yet.

The Moto3™ duel reignites on the road to Buriram

We’ve only raced once at the Thai track and last year’s first contact makes good reading for Dalla Porta. He came second, only a tenth down, and Canet? He didn’t race. The Spaniard arrives with no former knowledge of the venue after he missed the event last year due to injury, so it could prove more of an uphill struggle for him. With the rest of the grid, minus the rookies, joining Dalla Porta in having more experience, that only adds to Canet’s challenge.

MXoN conditions close to toughest ever for Team USA’s Osborne

MXoN conditions close to toughest ever for Team USA’s Osborne

Section: Competition

Fifth in Open class and sixth in Nations classification the result for top American.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Zach Osborne has declared Sunday’s conditions at the 2019 Motocross of Nations (MXoN) as some of the worst he’s experienced in his career.

Osborne, who formed part of Team USA alongside Husqvarna teammate Jason Anderson and Yamaha-mounted Justin Cooper, finished fifth in the Open class via 5-15 results.

“It’s been a tough day for everyone, but maybe especially for Team USA,” he commented. “I feel that we did all we could, we came into the event with a great attitude and a great team, things just didn’t work out for us, but that’s racing.

“We prepared well, but conditions and luck weren’t with us. I think these might have been the worst conditions I’ve ever raced in, certainly some of the toughest. Each of my motos went okay – they were tough, but fifth in my first race was okay.

“My second race was harder. I got a decent start, but I found it hard to move forwards. Also, I had to change goggles once and, yeah, it was tough. From a team point of view, it’s not at all the result we wanted, but I’m sure we’d do it all again to be here racing for our country.”

It was a considerable effort from the high-profile American team, which arrived in Europe early to prepare, eventually credited sixth overall in the 2019 running following an incident-filled trio of motos on Sunday.

Bautista acknowledges he ‘didn’t lose the title’ due to French fall

Bautista acknowledges he ‘didn’t lose the title’ due to French fall

Spaniard taken out of Magny-Cours race two as Rea goes on to take championship.

Aruba.it Racing Ducati’s Alvaro Bautista has acknowledged that a second race incident with Toprak Razgatlioglu in France wasn’t what cost him the 2019 Superbike World Championship.

The Spaniard finished fifth in race one at Magny-Cours – a circuit new to the 34-year-old – but was involved in an early crash with Saturday victor Razgatlioglu in race two.

Those developments enabled now five-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea to go on and clinch this year’s crown for Kawasaki with two rounds to spare, despite Bautista’s miraculous start to the season of 11-straight wins. He has 15 wins in total during his rookie season.

“Fortunately, physically I’m okay after the crash, I’m just a bit disappointed because I think in race two I was able to fight for the win,” Bautista reflected. “For sure, the weekend was tough, it was a new track that I’d never seen before and there was very little time to ride in dry conditions.

“Yesterday in the first race I managed to improve the feeling with the track and made up a lot of positions, while today in race two I made a good start and felt really good with the bike up at the front. Unfortunately, I was involved in Razgatlioglu’s crash at turn 13 and his mistake caused my retirement.

“It’s a pity to finish in this way, but it’s all part of racing. Congratulations to Jonathan Rea because he had a great season. During the championship Jonathan has always been able to get the best out of every situation and, for sure, we didn’t lose the title because of this race.”

Next year will see Bautista depart Ducati following a single season in WorldSBK together, recently confirmed to be joining Honda Racing Corporation in the Japanese company’s full factory return to the series.
