PRO GuIDe EXO-Tech flip-back helmet Scorpion says that its new EXO-Tech is an alternative to modular flip-back helmets, but with a "unique full-face design". The helmet has a reduced shell size, a chin opening mechanism, a large upper air intake easily opened with a tension spring, "guaranteeing good air flow when the helmet is in full-face mode". The Pinlock- ready visor "offers great visibility", while a large retractable internal sun visor can take 40 mm speakers through a Bluetooth communication kit. The helmet's aerodynamic shape reduces wind noise, with further turbulence reduction provided by the shell aligning perfectly with the chin opening when open. The removable and washable interior is made from soft 3D foam covered with hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and breathable KwikWick III material. An internal bearing system allows easy application of most types of glasses. The weight is 1,700 g (+/- 50 g) and the helmet is guaranteed for five years. Solid colour options include black, white, opaque black and opaque anthracite, with 'Pulse' and 'Time-Off' graphic options also available.

Soft touch KWIK-DRI fabrics wick sweat from skin and help regulate core temperatures. The perforated fabric of the air mesh impact vest seen here allows air to flow unimpeded, while still providing protection from abrasion and sunlight. Race collar compatible, the reactive memory foam is soft and pliable in its natural state but hardens when force is applied to it, providing a protective barrier. Strategically placed impact pads add an extra layer of protection in key areas, and for maximum comfort the under-jersey design uses pliable RMF roost deflection technology. It is made in compression-fit, breathable and moisture-wicking mesh and meets CE 14021 standards.

Yoshimura's Erick Bartoldus told IDN that the KTM 790 Duke has been "one of the most anticipated bikes to come from KTM in years. This parallel twin-engined naked bike is built for excitement on the streets, and we couldn't wait to see what we could add to this new orange machine. Known for its racing prowess and its ability to deliver performance, we developed an Alpha T works finish slip-on for the new 790.
