Riding on the street is one thing, but riding on the track requires a completely different set of riding gear designed specifically to optimize performance and protection. It's no surprise, really, that track-oriented helmets, gloves, suits, and boots are so expensive. Nevertheless, you can't really put a price on safety. That said, with the riding season in full swing, some of you track aficionados may be looking to refresh your wardrobes.
So far, we've seen a lot of motorcycle gear and equipment manufacturers roll out their collections for the 2023 riding season. French brand Ixon has just released its newest race-spec gloves called the Vortex GL. These gloves have been designed with the incorporation of technology from MotoGP. After all, Ixon is the brand of choice of some of the world's top racers such as Alexi Espargaro, Miguel Oliveira, and Takaaki Nakagami.
