New Products reviewed and tested.

I have ridden my 2008 Beta rev3 for a year now and had no mechanical problems what so ever... and even a few flips over the head has failed to even mark the rear mudguard let alone snap it. All the extras I put on at the start are still going strong and the new TTT white graphics I fitted 6 months ago are showing no signs of wear or have started to peel, even though I always wash with a pressure washer... just about everything I have on there came from SXS this includes Jitsie adjusters, V-mar top yoke, master cylinder tops and rear wheel adjusters, TTT graphics, Carbon fuel tank cover, Carbon fork guards, Akropovic front pipe, carbon number board, Jitsie footrests, Thicker chain guide, white stronger rear shock guard etc etc...

Heath now has the new Jitsie T1 08 Rail set of clothing, in Black/White/Grey..or Black Rail as the style is known...
The first thing I noticed is the quality, the jeans are put together very well and feel like they should cost much more than they do... and there are some very neat touches to make them fit correctly and stay put once they are on. The waist has 2 sturdy poppers at the top of the zip, under the T1 logo, and you also get 2 velcro type adjusters at the side to allow for thicker shirts to be tucked in... or in my case a little larger belly than you would like!
The is also a grippy like elastic around the waist that prevents the shirt from coming out every time you bend over. There is also a little loop at the back which is handy for both hanging them up and also pulling them back up after a big fall..!!!

The velcro adjusters at the sides allow a perfect fit without getting too tight and I have to say that the silicon strips on the waist band are brilliant. Wasn't much later I realised that I had ridden all day, fallen off many times and also driven home still wearing the kit and not once did my shirt un-tuck itself. And I am also pleased to say that after a few tree then rock slides there is not even a run in the fabric let alone any rips or pulled stitching. The knee area has a thin inner foam padding which when you first feel it gives the impression that it won't do anything but I tested it against the trees and can say that it takes the sting out. The inner leg has a balistic nylon covering which is far better at fending off the exhaust heat and other wear than the standard single layer efforts from other companies I have worn ... So far, after nearly 5 months of wear almost every weekend, I am very pleased with the T1 08 gear. To my surprise even the gloves have survivied without even a small hole or wear marks.

Highly recommended... ** update** I have now used this set of T1 08 rail clothing for over a year and it still looks and fits like new. The 09 range is just out, take a look if you want top quality for a good price.
