If you’ve ever worked on your bike at the track and tried to set up your pit area without having a factory-level race team backing you, chances are you probably don’t have a lot of manpower or an actual portable floor. Polisport has great options for privateers and weekend warriors alike in their Bike Mats and Bike Stands, and the key is portability and usability: the Bike Mat is the perfect option for making sure you don’t lose rogue bolts from your ride as you’re tearing it down, and the Bike Stand is amazingly light and surprisingly strong, able hold over 500 lbs. This combo makes the perfect setup for someone looking for both function and portability.

The winter months can be absolutely brutal when you’re trying to get some riding time in and still stay warm—particularly in those early-morning practice sessions. Canadian-based FXR’s business model actually started because they saw a need for high-performance snow wear, and here’s what we suggest: The Cold Cross RR Jersey offers a windproof stretch polyester front and sleeves with a lighter-weight knit back for venting, and a drop-tail hem and longer back also prevent midsection exposure. Pair that with the Off-Road Vest featuring a tri-laminate Omni-Stretch shell, including hand pockets and a large back pouch pocket, and Cold Stop Neoprene MX Gloves that are windproof and water resistant. You’ll be sure to stay warm!
