The history of BMW Motorsport begins in the 1970s when BMW entered the world of motorsports. BMW quickly made a name for itself in auto racing and began incorporating the racing spirit into the design of its road models. With significant success in auto racing, BMW extended the Motorsport range to motorcycle design, continuing a tradition of excellence and performance. With these guiding principles, the German brand continues to expand its selection of sport motorcycles.
To meet the needs of sport riders, BMW needed to develop a range of gear suited for speed and aesthetically in harmony with sport motorcycles. From this need, the Motorsport gear range was born. At the cutting edge of style and technology, each piece not only reflects the Motorsport aesthetic but is also designed to offer maximum protection, exceptional comfort, and mobility tailored to your needs. So, what does the BMW Motorsport gear range consist of?
BMW Motorsport Motorcycle Jackets: The Collections
One of the most visible elements on a rider is their motorcycle jacket, so it's only natural that you might want to show your affiliation and passion with a BMW Motorrad Motorsport jacket.
Currently, two models are part of the Motorsport jacket range : the Sidepod AIR jacket and the Downforce jacket. While these two jackets have a similar style, they have different characteristics. Let's take a closer look.
The first jacket, the Sidepod AIR, is a textile jacket in Motorsport colors. It is one of the most popular within the entire BMW range! Ideal for summer, this jacket has optimal ventilation capabilities, particularly with its 3D mesh. With its Motorsport colors, it has a very sporty style. However, it is not made for high speeds, with protections more suited for roadster use.
The second jacket, the DownForce jacket, is also very popular because it offers optimal protection and a highly sporty style. With its leather composition, this jacket immediately gives a more athletic look and provides enhanced durability. With its protective shells, the robust and sporty appearance is reinforced. Available in white and black, but always with the Motorsport colors on the front, this jacket can be worn on BMW sports bikes whether they are white or black, such as the M1000RR.
These two jackets can be a central element of your Motorsport motorcycle outfit, to be complemented with other gear from the collection as follows.
BMW Motorsport Motorcycle Gloves: Performance at Your Fingertips
As for BMW motorcycle gloves, two pairs can be considered as Motorsport gloves, due to their use, collection, and look.
The M Pro Race gloves are BMW Motorsport gloves that offer a level of protection suitable for dynamic riding in the city and on the road. Ideal for warm mid-season and summer, these gloves with a very sporty style are highly protective and comfortable.
The second pair of BMW gloves that is considered a pair of Motorsport gloves is the M Pro Race Comp. This one is different from the previous one as it is designed for intense sports use. With features designed for speed and the track, this pair of gloves is made for performance and is intended to protect you in case of a high-speed fall. With its Motorsport colors, it offers a style that is recognizable among all: that of BMW Motorsport.
BMW Motorsport Motorcycle Boots: From Track to Road
BMW boots that can be considered Motorsport boots can be seen in two ways: by their functionality or by their style. Some boots are designed for sporty use or even for the track, which makes them BMW Motorsport boots.
Among these boots, we have the BMW M Pro Race Comp boots, designed for sporty or even competitive use. These boots feature the colors of the BMW Motorsport range, highlighting their sporty aspect. They offer high-level protection, suitable for high speeds, particularly with interchangeable sliders.
Another model suitable for these uses is the M Pro Race GTX boots, which is a Gore-Tex version of the M Pro Race Comp boots, featuring similar characteristics with a few differences: the sliders are plastic on these, but they are fully waterproof. Although these boots are all black, their intended use makes them BMW Motorsport boots.
Finally, if we consider Motorsport motorcycle boots by style, then it is important to mention the BMW KnitRace sneakers. These are not designed for intensive sporty use or track use, but they feature the colors of the Motorsport logo and still give a sporty look.
BMW Motorsport Motorcycle Helmet: Competition in Your Head
While many BMW motorcycle helmets feature the iconic BMW Motorsport colors: light blue, dark blue, and red, only one helmet from the brand can truly be considered a Motorsport helmet: the M Pro Race helmet.
What makes the M Pro Race helmet a Motorsport helmet?
The M Pro Race helmet is designed for sporty riding, track use, and high performance. With a shell acoustically tuned to let you hear every sound your bike makes and perfect aerodynamics to reduce wind resistance, this helmet is built to maximize your sporting experience and performance. Designed for very high speeds, this helmet has been wind tunnel tested to offer perfect stability.
This helmet is also designed to be compatible with racing suits, ensuring it won’t restrict your movement or affect your riding position.
Additionally, the M Pro Race helmet is the only one to feature the Motorsport logo, making it a true Motorsport helmet.
