The sport of motocross is a brutal one that constantly tests the limits of man and machine. Few body parts take more of a beating when pounding through the whoops or casing a big triple than your knees. Because of that, taking care of your legs' pivot point is a wise investment.

Fox's PODMX knee brace goes far above and beyond knee cups or knee guards, which basically only protect your kneecap in the event of a fall. These babies are intended to help prevent serious injury in the event of a crash as well as provide support for knees that have been injured in the past. Fox's polymer hinge system has a stopping mechanism that prevents the knee from hyper extending. In addition, the dual-layer carbon fiber composite frame provides mega support in both medial (side-to-side) and lateral (front-to-back) movement. One final safety feature is the patella guard. It is a floating model attached to the frame, which basically means if you bang your knee, the impact will be absorbed by the frame of the brace rather than your leg. That's a good thing.

Besides safety, the other big thing to consider when shopping for a brace is comfort. Fox has attempted to make this brace as low profile as possible so it is not too obtrusive under your gear. It also features thermo-formed pressure point padding and a removable vented foam liner.

This brace is high quality and is definitely a step in the right direction for anyone interested in preventing a knee injury. If you have bad knees already or are recovering from an injury, make sure to talk to a real doctor before using it.

HJC's A-3 Carbon Fiber Open Face helmet is their cream-of-the-crop open face helmet. The AC-3 is made from a carbon fiber composite weave shell. Carbon fiber is pretty much the lightest and strongest thing on the planet. So, naturally, helmets made of the stuff are really light and really strong. The AC-3 is no different, and as far at open face helmets go, it's pretty easy on the eyes.

Inside the helmet is a removable and washable liner made from moisture-wicking, anti-bacterial padding. HJC says this lid has its 4th generation Advanced Channeling Ventilation System, but keeping your head cool is not really a problem as half your face is exposed anyway.

Speaking of exposure, an open face helmet may offer better protection than a half-helmet, but all the carbon fiber in the world won't mean anything if you crash and land on your face. Just keep that in mind when shopping around.

Axio is a major player in the motorcycle accessories world and its Tekno Hardpack backpack is designed to be everything you need in a backpack and more.

The Tekno is made from tough yet lightweight material. It is a hardpack design, but it doesn't scream "turtle shell" and actually has the look of a softpack. It's water resistant and has soft and breathable material on both the back and straps. This bag is perfect for the student since there are a variety of different pockets inside, including a fleece-lined 17-inch laptop pocket with an elastic closure. The pockets are all separated with Axio's two-zone compartment system, so everything doesn't get all banged up when you are riding.

Overall this is a great looking bag that has all the benefits of a hardpack with all the style of a more conventional backpack. It's a good choice for college kids or anyone looking for a compact and sturdy bag.

The RS7 features the signature EVS TrueMotion technology. The hinges are supposed to imitate the natural flexion and extension of your actual knee. Those hinges are made from high-grade aircraft 6061 T-6 aluminum. Like any good brace, this puppy will stop your leg from hyperextending. It's also got a plastic knee cup as well as"Extreme V" impact panels on the shin and thigh area.

The RS7 is padded to the gills, which means it will be much more comfortable than some of its more rigid counterparts. It does seem to lack a lot of venting, so be aware of that if you are riding in the extreme heat. All in all, this is a good brace for casual riders and those looking for a bit more protection, but anyone with a serious knee injury or wary of getting a serious knee injury should consider some of the higher-end models.

Maybe you don't need full-fledged leg armor -- maybe a pair of racing pants with built-in armor is enough.

The EVS Revo 4 Roost Guard is a compact chest protector designed to avoid the bulky look of more traditional plastic models. It is primarily constructed of soft (yet protective) foam, but also sports a clear hard plastic guard in the front for added rock and roost protection. It can be worn under or over a jersey, but is really designed to comfortably hide underneath.

Under-jersey chest protectors typically fit much better than traditional ones because they hug your body, and the flexible foam can easily form to the contours of your shape. If you wear it directly against your skin, expect a chafe or two though. The only other real negative, if you want to call it that, is that the back isn't as protected as the front. Overall, if you're looking for a decent incognito chest protector, you might want to check out the Revo 4.

Designed for the serious road-tripping biker, this system is an add-on storage system that will withstand heat, rain, snow, or whatever. The whole kit contains a giant backpack, a roll bag, a vinyl roll bag liner and a big ol' bungee net. It holds its shape thanks to foam-core construction. You can even remove the backpack and the roll pack and tote them around with you if you so choose. Installation is a cinch considering how big this monster is. It attaches to most sissy bar and luggage rack combos with a pretty sturdy hook-and-loop system.

This is a big bag that would best fit a big bike. Being a big person might not be a bad idea either as it doesn't exactly make your bike more aerodynamic. If you are looking for some serious storage though, this is the way to go. And don't forget, you'll need a sissy bar luggage rack to mount it on.

The Axio Tail Bag aims to provide a solution to that dilemma. It's available in all sorts of OE color matches including silver, red, blue, and even a carbon fiber-looking model. It is styled to compliment the style of a street bike and provide plenty of storage. The bag itself is really more of a container as it is made from molded plastic. Inside are two smaller compartments and a larger main storage. The base is made from polyester nylon. Another feature that is actually a little odd, given the style, is the built-in hidden shoulder strap that allows you to turn your Tail Bag into a backpack. Problem is, it basically looks like you are carrying around a motorcycle tail bag on your back.

The bottom line is that this is a sleek-looking bag that really can make for some much-needed storage on your sport bike. Axio knows what they are doing when it comes to bikes.

And if you're not looking for something so big and bulky, try this hydration pack by Camelbak.

Trailer theft happens more than people know. If you are serious about keeping your trailer and everything on it, then a chock lock is worth a look. TRIMAX's Universal Chock Lock is a simple and relatively inexpensive tool that can save you a lot of heartache and a lot of money.

It works by hugging your tire with its two rubber-coated arms. Once attached, it's pretty much impossible to drive anywhere. This lock is pretty compact considering what it does. Installation is easy. Just unlock the lock and slide the two arms apart to the desired width. It can be used for a pretty wide variety of tire sizes and, although it would be cumbersome to carry with you, can even be used on ATV and motorcycle tires.

Suzuki recognizes this and sympathizes with the bruised bottoms of the world with its Hayabusa Carbon Fiber Look Gel Seat. As the name states, it has a look that is reminiscent of carbon fiber. Seeing as how real carbon fiber is stiffer than metal, just sporting the "look" of carbon fiber is a good idea and actually pretty slick in the style department. The big selling point for this seat however is the extra padding. The gel padding provides some serious relief for your aching rear but isn't so massive that you can't ride your Hayabusa in the intended riding position. Suzuki also added a bit of custom styling with the Hayabusa logo stitched right into the side of the seat.

This seat bumps up the comfort level exponentially. It is intended for the 2008 Hayabusa but you can likely get it for other years as well. Your rear-end will thank you.

Here's a gel-padded bike seat for non-Suzuki riders.

Thankfully the folks at Cortech are around to try and offer a tank bag with everything you could want, and more. The Cortech Super 18 Liter Tank Bag really is loaded with pretty innovative features. For starters, it's constructed of thick 1680 Denier Ballistic Polyester. It has a large main flap that leads into a soft lined main pocket area.

Here's where it gets cool: It has an external eyeglass case so you can store your specs safely and access them easily. It also has a removable, clear pocket right on top of the bag where you can store a map and then take it with you. A built-in rubber-lined pocket with a slot for a sip-tube lets you store a hydration pack so you never get thirsty on the road again. The whole bag mounts up using heavy-duty magnets and works on almost any bike. It is removable and has hideaway straps so you can easily turn it into a backpack. Oh yeah -- a rain cover is included as well.

All in all, Cortech has really done a nice job taking a mid-sized bag and loading it with cool features that will hopefully make your ride as stress-free as possible. This bag is a good choice for any rider.
