My answer will always be the digital camo chad wore, with a modern twist I'm sure.

‘26 Fly stuff looks good. Wish they’d bring the f16 line a bit more up to FXR clutch level but the designs are tidy.
I like the Mint green stuff Chad wore.

he even racing this summer??? 🤣
When does Fox 2026 come out?
A lot of bright colors in the Alpinestars stuff. I was hoping that the Jett signature helmet would be something he would really wear, like how Deeghans was . But I doubt Jett ever races in it. Still cool to have. I guess he likes Purple?
A new Helmet the SM7. It is priced more in the middle, I always thought the SM8 did not make much sense. It cost about the same as the SM10 if You bought a second visor and the nicer bag that the 10 came with when they were the same shape and used the same liners. Cool to see that its Fiberglass ,Carbon and Aramid fiber . Seems like a good value 1280 for the ECE and 1340 for the DOT. It is lighter than the DOT SM10 by 20 grams and heavier by 20 grams for the ECE version. A bunch of colors
And some new colors for boots too.
I saw they have an over the glasses goggle now too and some more colors in most of the goggles. The Era has a bradshaw like feel to it in this colorway.
Lots of bright colors and some a little less bright. Overall I like alot of it, it reminds me of Axo in its prime. The Use of the Astar logo and colors.
There are more new items on Alpinestars website and Parts unlimited has all but the MX jersey/pants. New casual and protection stuff too. Images come from Parts unlimited and Alpinestars websites.
Some good looking stuff from Astars, probably one of their best launches overall in a bit.
I hsve to agree, stuff looks good and not only the super expensive stuff. Both Fluid and Racer look really good on both design and colors.
SM-7 very interesting price point.
I think I'm going to grab myself an SM7 to try out. I want to see how it vents and feels VS the SM 8 and 10. I was looking at the liner part numbers and photos and they look like they are only for the SM7 . They have the same adjustability as the SM8 and 10. But are their own part. The cheek pads look to be the same for all shell sizes and You pick the thickness. So instead of having a plus 10 and standard size cheek pad. Now there are just varied thickness instead of 2 sizes per helmet size( Unless I'm misunderstanding or there is missing info on the Astars site.  
. The top pad has optional thicknesses as well but are still size specific.
In real life it looks much better than advertisement pics. I tried it on but didn’t want to get it dirty yet. Reminds me of my shining 5th grade bball uniform.
Astars killing it as always.
Post a new thread once you try it out. My sm10 is getting tired but I like the sm7 price point better. I assume with 6 sizes and 3 shells the m/l share a shell?
Did you see they have a Supertech pro jersey now with what looks like their version of mips in the shoulders?
I also saw they have racer air (mesh) now too.
This is the ugliest set I have ever seen lol.
The alpinestars prices are genuinely crazy. $65 gloves? man...
Cut back on the protein powders then😀
I didn't notice that about the jersey. I'll have to check out the specs of the gear. Normally it goes Xs and S share a shell, Medium has its own, large has its own and XL and XXL share a shell. But with 3 shell sizes I think that will be how they split them up. I'll see what other info I can find out on them and will definitely post a thread after I get one in that is my size. I'll have to check the availability I think my size is going to be instock a little later than the others the last I looked. I wear a 2xl. I think it had an ETA of late august on the colorway I was looking at.
I love the supertech goggles . My new favorite setup. They have a pretty compact frame for how wide of a field of view they have. So they fit into the helmet easier than the Prospects I had been wearing and still do here and there. I love how quick I can change a lens on them.

I've got a customer that I'm getting some of that stuff for . He has been wearing the Thor Prime but they dropped the big guy size pant so hes looking for something different. I showed him that stuff and the maroon set, hes having me get him one set to try out. He didn't want to try the Thor Launchmode stuff. He likes how stretchy the Prime/ Sportmode stuff is.
How is it? is it stretchy and easy to move around in? I am not expecting the same level of stretch as the Sportmode stuff. But something a little more friendly to the guys that don't want a painted on gear, but want something easy to move around in. Hopefully it works out for him.
Agreed. I hate to dis Thor, because I was once sponsored and I loved their gear throughout the years. They do have some compelling new stuff, too. This kit though.... it sure feels to me like they were working on a brown set and a teal set, then decided to cancel one of the colors, but had the part numbers mixed up and ordered 1,500 sets of the wrong jersey and now they have to sell all of it together.
The bummer is that I'd be tempted with a set of the teal color, and the tan would be cool in just the right circumstance. Even if they wanted a tan/teal combo and put a few hits of either color on both pieces it would make sense, but this?... This is what we have. I guess I just don't get it.
I’m right with you on the Supertech goggles. My only issue is the laminated tear offs are a lot more expensive than prospects, and they only have one frame available with a clear lens so by the time I buy a mirrored lens goggle and a set of clear lenses the price gets up there. I like they have so many colored lens options. It also pinches my nose less than pretty much anything else.
I wish Scott would put the light sensitive or amplifier lenses in everything. They have much better clarity than the standard lenses.
Hahah, you’re kind of in the ballpark…this is how the original artwork laid out, but after four tries the factory simply couldn’t nail the mint color on the pant, so we had to make an 11th hour decision to go all copper on the pant. I realize that not many here in the forum like this piece, but the racers love it, totally modern and weird for sure.
It’s not painted on tight. There is a little looseness . My legs are not huge tho. I tried them on & bent down . I think they stretch a little. Martial feels great you can bend real easy . Fresh pic . There is another Velcro side adjuster 1 on each side with rubber yellow end. Same rubber pieces on the back. . Knees are grippy material.I,m working on my van now removed a captains chair to make room for chics. Haha . Add a loop to tie bike down . Other van engine stuff. Size 32 gear with yellow bolts is sold out . I ordered purple Sahara
Interesting to learn the real reason behind that decision, thanks for sharing
I may have tried inverting the black / teal on the pant though to move the colors away from eachother; making it less noticeable, but still keeping the overall theme intact.
I really appreciate your contributions on this forum, but you should just take the "L" on that gear lol. Everything from the color combination to the random lines and "thor" logos everywhere (8 visible from just the front) is just a design travesty. I think the cat gear is more harmonious.
Edit: The mint and black (or grey?) looks better, but why is it labeled mint/copper?
I dig it it makes me look fat but I dig it.
I like the Fly stuff, but I wish the Formula helmets came in more choices for colors and graphics. What little they do offer is kind of boring and ugly compared to the other helmet brands. It also looks like they won't ever release a "dumb" (non-S) version of the Carbon?
I see some Rmatv has formula carbon solid (non s) on closeout. Act fast before they run out of your size.
That's similar to why I fell in love with the FXR gear (before they nuked all the big guy sizes last year) was they gave you all the stretch/lightweight comfort of the more premium stuff right through to the clutch sets. I always ran Thor's pulse stuff or Fly F16 up to finding FXR but fit/finish and comfort on the FXR gear was next level. I'm hoping they remember theres'a 'big guy' club out here they abandoned last year....
No “L” to be taken, some people love it, some people hate it, I just enjoy being honest with you all in here, for better or worse.
Sorry for the crummy pic, I snapped it quick off an old print. The upper 2/3 of the whole kit is actually mint and the lower legs are actually copper.
