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.

Front-line gear for front-runners
The all-new Front Line MX is the latest addition to Oakley’s high-impact goggles range. 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.
