New Motorcycle Gear From Aerostich, Bell, CTEK, Motion Pro and RSD

AEROSTICH // R-3 ROADCRAFTER SUIT The Roadcrafter has long been a Motorcyclist staff favorite, ever since we first slipped one on in the late '80s! For 2016 Aerostich has updated the Roadcrafter so it's cooler and more waterproof, with more comfort and protection features. Suits are available for men and women starting at $967. aerostich.com

BELL // STAR Bell introduced the first full-face helmet, the Star, in 1968. Decades later the Star is still setting new standards in safety. Bell's latest helmet has a new lining with "progressive layering technology" that's said to help address low-, mid-, and high-energy impacts as well as rotational impacts. Lids range in price from $700 to $1,300. bellhelmets.com

CTEK // BATTERY SENSE BATTERY MONITOR The lead-acid battery beneath your bike's seat may be old technology, but you can monitor its health with the latest in wireless technology. CTEK's new Battery Sense monitor is a compact Bluetooth device that connects to your battery and automatically transmits state-of-charge data to your cell phone. Pick one up for $50. ctek.com

MOTION PRO // PRO FILL AIR CHUCK Brake rotors keep growing larger and crowding the rim and tire valve, yet we keep filling our tires using the same stubby little chuck. Not anymore. Motion Pro's $35 Pro Fill Air Chuck has an extended handle with a pivoting head to allow easy access to difficult-to-reach valves. motionpro.com

RSD // HOUSTON JACKET Long before Gore-Tex, there was waxed cotton. The Houston jacket from Roland Sands takes the traditional waxed-cotton jacket and elevates it to the 21st century with a modern waterproof liner, sealed seams, water-resistant zippers, and neoprene cuffs. The Houston is available in black or brown for $650.
