The Ultimate Bikers’ Christmas Wish List: Ten show stopping presents for the ultimate motorcycle fan

Splash out this Christmas and impress a bike rider who is close to your heart. We’ve come up with the ten most coveted biking helmets and boots – made for professionals and guaranteed to turn heads.

1. Designed by internationally renowned racer Michael Schumacher, the Schuberth C3 Flip-up Motorcycle Helmet is the world’s smallest and quietest flip helmet. This high class kit keeps noise down to only 84dB while travelling at 60mph. Schuberth is renowned for its advanced technology and it’s not hard to see why. The helmet incorporates Bluetooth support, grade A optics, quick release locking visor and a multi-ventilation design. At £404.99 it is fast becoming the Holy Grail of motorcycle helmets.

    

   

   Helmet Head: the lightest in its class, the Schuberth weighs only 1,000 grams

2. The best looking motorcycle footwear to come out this year has got to be Sidi Vortice Boots. Their features are incomparable – they have shin, calf and instep tensioners, their own air ventilation system, an Teflon mesh lining, and a patented Lorica outer fabric. But to really appreciate these red and black race £269.99 boots, you’ve got to see them.
3. New for Autumn 2009 the Shoei XR-1100 Motorbike Helmet uses technology previously only seen in the likes of aircraft and racing cars. For example, it incorporates the new CW-1 visor which offers a 120° view, which is more than any other helmet in its class. Shoei’s all new aerodynamic shell construction allows for an optimised air flow, making the helmet extremely stable even at high speeds. Best of all, you get the most notorious brand of helmet in the business. £299.99 – £379.99.
4. Motocross riders need the ultimate protection for rough off-roading. Sidi’s Crossfirer MX Boots completely shield the leg with a hinged, dual position, stitch-free upper constructed from injection-molded plastic. The boots’ four floating, independent straps provide each rider with a personal fit no matter his body shape or if he uses knee braces or not
