Arai Corsair-X Hayden Laguna: $979.95

If you’re buying for a racing fan, the Arai Corsair-X Hayden Laguna will be a jaw-dropping gift this holiday season. Celebrating American MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden’s first MotoGP win at Laguna Seca in 2005, this reissued replica packs some of the best safety and comfort features Arai has to offer in a full-face helmet. Plus, it’s fantastic as both daily gear and as a display piece. The Corsair-X Hayden Laguna may be pricey, but it’s a gift your loved one will never forget.

Treblab Z2 Wireless Headphones: $89.97

Give the gift of superior audio quality with Treblab Z2 wireless over-ear headphones. The Z2s feature active noise cancellation, are water-resistant and sweatproof, provide up to 35 hours of play time, and charge to full in three hours. Their 40mm neodymium drivers provide high-quality audio; built-in call and voice assistance technology makes taking calls easy. They’re soft, comfortable, and a steal at just under $90.

Shoei Transitions Visor: $199.99

If the rider in your life uses a Shoei lid, here’s your chance to upgrade their kit with a new CWR-1 Transitions shield. This shield is compatible with X-Fourteen, RF-1200, and RF-SR models and provides 100 percent UVA and UVB protection. What makes this piece really special is an array of trillions of photochromic molecules that change structure when exposed to UV light. As a result, this shield becomes darker for sun or glare and then clears in low-light conditions. This is a huge convenience for riders who stretch their ride from day into night, as they won’t need to fuss with a finicky shield swap. It’s a great piece of kit to have in changing circumstances, ensuring a clear view in all conditions.ADVERTISEMENT
