Innovation – K-FX gloves: Gloves are essential for motorcycle riding; and required equipment for racing. Gloves are incredibly important in that they offer the rider feedback from the road, including information from the tires, motor, brakes and suspension. You can make decisions based upon feel and feedback. Because of the need to “feel”, you have to design; literally engineer a product that enables the rider to have “sensory” feedback and at the same time, offer protection that is robust. But, how do you have both? Typically, adding protection means you have to sacrifice feedback and feel. These are two very important aspects of riding. It also poses a great challenge in glove design. A single crash on your bicycle can ruin your hand for weeks. Imagine crashing at over 150mph on asphalt and never feeling the heat while sliding and maintaining the full function of your hands; now were talking about something quite extraordinary. The K-FX race glove is a true proprietary race glove design that uses over a dozen different materials including advanced lightweight composites interwoven together to produce a unique, one of a kind glove. It’s not just the combination of advanced materials; it’s how they are combined as an application that allows full anatomical movement to create a glove that truly functions while under stress without the rider ever knowing it. The elegant design patterns allows generous amounts of Kevlar in critical safety areas and includes the right combination of materials/composites to offer an extremely comfortable, lightweight and protective glove. What is even more unique about the K-FX glove is that they are “off the rack” and truly deliver on an exceptional fit and feel. They are well finished and come in standard sizing while offering more protection than any mass produced glove currently on the market. And at a Factory Direct price of $174.95 makes them the best value your dollar will buy when it comes to race gloves. Nothing in this price range including gloves that cost $100 plus don’t even compare. The K-FX glove has been used in local regional races, Red Bull Rookies Cup all the way to Moto GP. If one word can be used to describe the K-FX race glove, it is “exceptional”. Komodo also offers gloves for street use in mesh and shorty designs; both have received strong praise from third party sources across the world.

Battery BugTM for Motorcycles – A clear, digital window into battery health To most people a battery is just a heavy black box with no way to tell whether you have a good one or a bad one. What about “voltage”, you say? That’s like trying to measure how full a glass of water is – with the bathroom scale. It’s related, but unless you’re a rocket scientist it isn’t very helpful. Battery Bug measures CAPACITY. We’ve taken the test from a $600 professional battery tester, shrunk it down to matchbook size – and provided the information to the rider – for under $50. Why so important? How about longer battery life for starters - then there’s no unexpected battery failures, no being stuck on the side of the road, no apologetic calls for a ride. Be assured the battery will be ready when you are. To learn more, to set up an evaluation, or to get into the "nuts and bolts", visit www.batterybug.com .
