Safety Precautions

Protective Apparel

Make sure that you and any passenger are wearing an approved helmet, eye protection, and high-visibility protective clothing. Avoid wearing loose clothes that could get caught on any part of the vehicle. Ride defensively in response to weather and road conditions.

Helmet

Safety-standard certified, high-visibility, correct size for your head

  • Must fit comfortably but securely, with the chin strap fastened
  • Face shield with unobstructed field of vision or other approved eye protection
  • 3WARNING

    Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.


    Make sure that you and any passenger always wear an approved helmet and protective apparel.

    Gloves

    Full-finger leather gloves with high abrasion resistance

    Boots or Riding Shoes

    Sturdy boots with non-slip soles and ankle protection

    Jacket and Trousers

    Protective, highly visible, long-sleeved jacket and durable trousers for riding (or a protective suit)

    Additional Off-road Gear

    On-road apparel may also be suitable for casual off-road riding. But if you plan on any serious off-road riding you will need more serious off-road gear. In addition to your helmet and eye protection, we recommend off-road motorcycle boots and gloves, riding pants with knee and hip pads, a jersey with elbow pads, and a chest/shoulder protector.
