About Infinity Motorcycles:

Infinity Motorcycles was established in 1999 by Rob Puttick and Dave Holloway, both veterans of the UK motorcycle trade. From humble beginnings in a former bank on the North Circular in London, Infinity Motorcycles now has 14 branches, from Glasgow to Southampton, and an online department, employing a total of around 150 people.

Everyone likes a bargain, but we try and make sure we offer a bit more too. Our staff turnover is low and we invest more in staff training than anyone else we know of in the bike trade - we don't think these two facts are mutually exclusive! Infinity Motorcycles takes Customer Service seriously. So Dave and Rob still want to hear from you about your experience of shopping with us, good or bad.

“Protective gear like this is always a compromise between comfort and protection. It needs to be tight so the armour stays in place but still comfortable so as not to distract you from riding. Unfortunately unlike leather this material doesn’t appear to me to be wearing in and is a tiny bit restrictive when moving from standing in a relaxed position to sitting on the bike in a riding position. The back protector especially is quite thick and weighty. The jacket is very well ventilated and extremely well made. I have no doubt that it would stand up to an accident very well. It is about the same weight as a decent leather jacket, although suspect a lot of that is the weight of the back protector. I have ordered a D30 replacement. I am a skinny 6’2” and 11.5 stone. The medium is a good fit, but the sleeves do ride up a little if I really reach up or forward. This is more down to the nature of the material than being too small. Seated On the bike the arm length is perfect. I went for this jacket because i wear a motox jersey over it and it isn’t bulky, but the appearance is a bit plain and boring if you were to wear it as a top layer as intended. Due to my age and health this will probably be the last bike jacket I buy. If in softens up a little with some use, I would if needed, replace it with the same again., if not I may well go back to leather.”

“Absolutely brilliant, top class protection. I can wear either a normal jacket / hoodie over it or even remove the armour from my riding jacket. Got to say it keeps you cool in this warmer weather”

“I bought this because of the AAA rating. I am 6’2.5” and skinny (31 inch waist and 38 chest). I bought a medium and the fit is perfect. Loose enough to get my heated layer underneath but tight enough to wear the Knox with a t shirt underneath without the armour moving. The standard body armour is a bit thick and chunky especially the back protector and will swap it out for my kevlar reinforced skinny back protector. I wear with RST leather jeans and feel like I would be very well protected should the worst happen. To finish the look I put an MX race jersey from Fasthouse over the jacket and wear MX style adventure boots and MX style road lid with visor instead of goggles. I ride a GS and look nothing like most boring GS riders.”

“I bought this jacket as my only alternative was my leather (Alpinestars) 2 piece which is heavy and hot. The fit is spot on it is snug and more of a fitted style but all the armour fits in the right places something some other manufacturers struggle with if you're short like me. The armour is thin and flexible and it's hard to believe it is an AAA-rated garment tbh let's hope I never need to test it. My only gripes are that it isn't as vented as you'd think it might be it is still quite warm on a hot day and there isn't a top pocket for your phone/wallet which I assume is because you can get a chest protector in there if you want. The zips are fiddly due to the rubber detailing also the main zip is about 1" too long for me so it digs into my neck. All in all it a nice fitting jacket that is cooler in warm weather than leather well rated for piece of mind but IMO a bit overpriced atm and a couple of details could be better.”
