We have been importing the awesome Nolan X-Lite X-802 helmets for a couple months now, and we finally received one of the Jorge Lorenzo Captain America helmets.

Forcefield Extreme Adventure Harness Reviewed!

T-Pro Armour through Blue Streak Racing

I cannot talk enough about protective gear, especially when it comes to the worlds of off-road and street bike riding. I have been testing out a high-quality body armour suit called the Extreme Harness Adventure made by Tpro Forcefield Armour and distributed by Blue Streak Racing (Johnson's Leather in the USA and sold at Cycle Sector www.cyclesector.com.) This full-body armour is very comfortable and comes with a chest and back piece with a kidney belt attached, removable shoulder plates and removable elbow pads. The nice thing about this armour is that there is no mesh holding it together, which makes it a lot lighter, less restrictive and it is also breathable, which is key in a sport like motocross or trail riding.

The shoulder and elbow attachments are connected to the chest piece by two layers of Velcro for security. There are absolutely no hard buckles, fasteners or studs holding this armour together, which makes it completely adjustable to fit you perfectly. This Extreme Harness is made of nitrex, which allows the armour to be flexible and form to your body shape. Nitrex is a high-tech shock-absorbing material that is combined with thick and lightweight layers of nitrile to disperse the force of the impact over the entire surface area, instead of one single area. I am sure that most of you have found that plastic chest protectors end up breaking over time and after multiple impacts either from the ground, the gear bag you shove it into, or just from getting nailed in the chest by a few rocks. This Tpro Armour is made up of Repeat Performance Technology, which allows multiple hard impacts without destroying the product or bringing the life quality of the product down.

I got the chance to get out on a street bike the other day and decided to test out how my body armour would feel. Surprisingly it was more comfortable than even wearing a Tec-style street jacket because of how it molded to my body shape after the first 20 minutes or so. This product is very high end but it is totally worth the buy, so check them out online at www.cyclesector.com and have a look for yourself at all the different models they have within Tpro Armour.

Extreme Auto Fest San Diego

Click here to check out the Extreme Auto Fest Website

On Sunday, July 26, 2009, Cycle Sector took part in Extreme Auto Fest San Diego. Our company had a booth set up, featuring tires and motorcycle jackets, as well as other products. Everyone from the Cycle Sector family attended the event, including Elizabeth Hopkins, our intern, and her friend Jae, who both worked as promotional models for the company. Although the day was rather hot, the girls walked around with an umbrella, passing out cards and taking pictures with Auto Fest attendees. Elizabeth and Jae made a few film appearances (with Cycle Sector shout-outs, of course!), which will be featured on various websites. Additionally, the girls took many photos alongside the competing cars, which were tricked out with spectacular paint jobs, engines, spoilers, hood ornaments, rims, sliding doors, and other accessories. JT Cruise, one of our stunt riders, also hung out at the Cycle Sector booth, patiently waiting for his stunt show to begin. Unfortunately, the event scheduling did not go according to plan, and JT was forced to go out later than expected. The bikini contest began right before JT went out, causing many of the event attendees to be uninformed that his ride was about to take place. However, despite the fact he was not given very much room, JT did have a great ride-and blew one of his tires very quickly!
A few pictures are posted above, however, additional photos of the booth, cars, JT's ride, etc. can be viewed in the photos section of our website.

07 ZX-6R Rebuild

2009-04-07T19:20:00.000-07:00

Its a story many of us have heard and makes us cringe every time it happens again, a guy let his buddy take his bike "for a spin" and wrecked it. Well this is what happened with this unfortunate ZX-6R.

Here is what she looked like when I got he r:

There were all kinds of parts busted up on this thing, just kept finding one after another. Flipping a bike does a lot of damage! I had to tear her down do basically a frame and a motor!

Now for the rebirth! We got her some new replacement parts as well as some new fairings that were custom painted with a pearl white finish. We also added new Bridgestone B-016 tires, Zero Gravity Dark Smoke Double Bubble windscreen, ASV levers, R&G aero sliders and bar ends, and most importantly...Cycle Sector stickers! Check this baby out now! HOTNESS!

Oh yeah :)

The New Addition

2009-04-07T17:43:00.000-07:00

Cycle Sector welcomes it's newest team member, Anthony DeVincenzo! Anthony is a graduate in Business Administration from the University of San Diego. He grew up in New York but has happily settled by the beach here in sunny San Diego. He has been into motor sports at a very early age and has owned many forms of two wheeled machines. He now rides a 2007 Kawasaki ZX-6R and enjoys going on local group rides in the local twisties. We are proud to have him on board and look forward to his contributions to making Cycle Sector bigger and better! We are going to get some Saki Bombs tomorrow for his "official" initiation :)

(You will notice just how "San Diegan" he is by his ratty beach chair he chooses to sit on)
