If you’re a fan of Bavarian airheads, oilheads, water-cooled boxers or flying bricks you can now fly the BMW flag both on and off your motorcycle. The 2020 BMW Motorrad Heritage Collection features a range of both casual streetwear and purpose-built riding apparel for their discerning followers and fans. The new range is BMW Motorrad’s first attempt at creating a ‘ride & style’ collection. The comprehensive collection includes riding gear such as leather jackets, abrasion-resistant denim, gloves and boots and casualwear like t-shirts, caps and dress shirts.
The BMW Motorrad Heritage Collection taps into the marques almost 100-year history for inspiration. Black plays a significant role in the range, being the most iconic BMW Motorrad colour. Details such as twin white lines are reminiscent of the pinstripes used to embellish BMW bodywork. Classic BMW roundels add premium details to the garments and copper-coloured accents hark back to the materials used on classic Bavarian bikes. Each garment is made using the latest in tech fabrics and production techniques to ensure the range offers the premium levels of safety, quality and longevity you’d expect from the BMW brand.
