Riding gear manufacturer TCX has just released a new pair of riding boots explicitly designed for the cold weather.

  • TCX released a new riding boots called the S-TR1 WP.
  • The S-TR1 WP keeps you dry all day long while offering the usual protection. 

The S-TR1 WP is an all-weather riding boot that provides all the usual protection but ensures it keeps you warm and dry on any occasion. 

The S-TR1 WP features an abrasion-resistant synthetic leather upper and a breathable mesh inner similar to other boots.

However, the TCX S-TR1 WP is equipped with T-Dry material that offers impermeability and keeps you dry all day long. As an added comfort, the boot is fitted with an Ortholite footbed. 

The S-TR1 WP also offers easy fitting thanks to a side-opening zip and a huge Velcro flap at the top, allowing for easy removal. 

In terms of safety, the boot features toe sliders and additional reinforcements on the heel. In addition, the boot is also fitted with polypropylene internal reinforcement parts and TCX’s TCX system that prevents ankle twisting. 

There’s also a non-waterproof version of the S-TR1 that offers similar styling and function but without the all-weather protection.

Givi Asia had just released the latest addition to its 2015 product range. This includes two new boxes, a few soft luggage bags, pouch bags and rainsuits.

First up is the E250 Wildcat, its just another interpretation of how a top box looks, still the standard soft rounded edges with a capacity of 25litres or one helmet.

Next is Givi’s new sidecase, the E22. Comes as a pair, these compact panniers are 22liters each which is slightly bigger than the E21 that has been in the market for so long.

But while the E21 rounded curves made it more suitable to fit on classic or cruiser bikes, the new E22 sharp lines fits better with modern bike design, naked, fully faired or DP.

Its slim profile makes it ideal for riders who need to keep it tight as to easily shuffle through the city traffic in their commute to work but still big enough for a weekend trip.

The E22 neat packaging also means it will not look out of place for smaller capacity bikes such as bikes in the 250cc range.

Max load is the standard 5kg with a top open design which means you don’t have to worry about spilling any gear when opening the box and sturdy grab handles makes it easy to handcarry.

Using is very convenient thanks to the patented Monokey system, it can be opened, locked and removed from the bike with just one key.

Moving on to the rainsuits, already known for their quality, Givi introduced four new rainsuits from the basic all black RRS02 to the PRS01 with high-vis colours.

While the PRS02 is just a plain rainsuit, the RRS01 comes with three vents, one on the back and two under the arms, pockets and a hood.

Last highlight is their latest addition of soft luggage, the PBP01 is a 30L waterproof backpack.

Comes with compression and stranum straps, and waist belt to keep thing stable on your back as you ride.

Two efficient reflective strips makes you more visible in bad weather or at night.

A bit bigger is the PCB01 which is a 40L waterproof duffle bag. Too big to be on your back while riding but just nice for you to strap on to the back seat and its easy to do so using the built-in tie down loops.
