Get a grip and go EKS Brand Goggles are earning a reputation with NZ off-road riders for no-nonsense performance and great pricing. The same approach has been applied to the EKS range of MX grips. They use a half waffle design with an overall diameter and pattern created and tested by some of the world’s fastest racers. The rubber used feels like a soft-compound grip, but is as durable as a medium-compound grip.

With a design optimised for a variety of faces, and to fit prescription glasses, they’ll go on over most helmets. Changing the impact-resistant, anti-fog-treated lenses is quick and easy with Oakley’s Ridgelock Technology, designed for a complete lens seal to prevent harsh conditions penetrating your goggle, and they include a removable nose guard and Perimeter-Sealed laminated tear-offs.
