For the last ten years Twisted Throttle has long been known for being the provider of the highest quality bolt-on accessories for motorcycles. Now, we've decided to expand our product offerings to include high-tech, innovative riding gear. Only after 2 years of real-world testing in some of the most challenging conditions are we convinced that Macna jackets, pants, and gloves are worthy of the Twisted Throttle seal of approval. The twisted team of "Gear Experts" put this gear through its paces during their recent globetrotting adventures in Iceland, Alaska, and many other somewhat less exotic locales. Without fail, our team arrived time and time again to their destinations warm and dry, or cool and comfortable, regardless of the conditions the day threw at them.

Lake Forest, CA October, 2011 - Scorpion's new EXO-1100, intended to build on the legacy of the top-of-the-line EXO-1000, really does establish a new benchmark. Starting with the exclusive TCT™ (Thermodynamical Composite Technology) shell construction process and featuring a revised EPS liner, the EXO-1100 is entirely new, inside and out. "Think of it as a 'smart helmet' when it comes to its ability to absorb impact," explains Scorpion Sports Inc. Product Manager Michael MacGregor. "The shell is able to gradually crumple on impact, which allows it to absorb much of the energy generated by the shock, while still retaining the majority of its structural integrity."
