PRODUCT REVIEW: Ixon Ragnar Adventure Gear

French motorcycle accessories company, Ixon, has been around since 1966 and now produce a huge range of everything from high-end road racing leathers to adventure riding gear to shoes to casuals to you name it. And in recent years, the Family-owned brand has certainly forged a reputation not only for high-quality, feature-packed products, but also for the fact their price tags are often notably lower than comparable products from other leading brands.

Which is exactly why we were itching to get our hands on Ixon’s recently released Ragnar jacket and pant; the all-new, top-of-the line, three-in-one adventure gear that’s stacked with a bunch of extra features and tech compared with the Cross Tour jacket and pant (Ixon’s previous top-of-the-line adventure gear that we’ve been running for the past six years). After all, Ixon’s PR about the all-new Ragnar gear made some pretty lofty claims about how far both jacket and pant had evolved since their predecessors, so we were well placed to be the judge of that … and of how well the gear can be adapted to the range of riding conditions typically found in Australia.

RRP: Ragnar Jacket – $699.95; Ragnar Pant – $549.95 (both available in Back/Grey/Red and Black/Anthracite)
