Tron and motorcycle suits go together. UD Replicas already offers Sam Flynn and Quorra replica suits, so why wouldn’t they make a copy of Rinzler’s? He may be not be so nice, but his threads make a statement on the grid or not. You can buy almost everything you see in the photo: boots, jacket, gloves, pants, and the identity disc. You’ll have to find your own helmet. Without it, the protective material the suit is made of won’t do you much good.

I don’t think this leather, steampunk-style Stormtrooper motorcycle mask would do much to protect you in the event of a crash, but bugs and wind would be no problem. Just don’t ride your motorcycle like a Scout Trooper rides a speeder bike—into trees.
This Original Riding Mask is hand crafted and molded from sturdy 8/9 oz Veg Tan Leather. The black leather behind the grill is softer 5oz Oiled Leather. The leather has been sealed to provide some water resistance. Lined on the inside is foam with suede leather wrapped around to provide comfort and protection during your ride, as well as an adjustable strap to fit to your face. Unlike many other masks, the strap is riveted into place with high quality 5 oz Leather and Buckle, so you don’t have to worry about tying or undoing any knots. One size fits most and being as it is made from leather there is some flexibility.

I wouldn’t have expected Tron to be a theme that would come out of a Paris-based luxury helmet maker, but it does make a lot of sense. Too bad the retro design clashes with the modern Tron motorcycle suit.
Pricing for the helmet has not been made available, but it set to arrive in time to coincide with the release of Tron:Legacy in France this January.

Sure, it would make shifting gears difficult but, theoretically, he could just jump off and skate to safety at the first sign of trouble right? Uh, right?

When UD Replicas announced their Wolverine motorcycle suit, we mentioned that they had a Iron Man 2 version in the works that has leather that “looks like metal.” Well, here’s the teaser—a design taken from Iron Man’s suitcase armor.
No word yet on when the suit will be available, or whether or not they embedded an arc reactor in there that actually lights up. Knowing these guys, I wouldn’t be surprised.

UD Replicas, the same folks that brought us the Dark Knight motorcycle suit, are back with their exclusive Wolverine replica from X2: X-Men United.
The UK’s Industrial Design Consultancy have taken design cues from human flesh and bone to create a helmet that can “reduce rotational impact by an unprecedented 50% and the subsequent possibility of brain damage by 67.5%”
Dubbed “SuperSkin”, the helmet has a skin-like membrane that glides along the surface without breaking during an impact. Because the skin absorbs the impact, you can reduce the risk of rotational injuries to the head and neck. Expect to see it this summer (in the UK at least) in colors that I can only assume will be more eye-popping than the prototype pictured here.

The Barbarian is advertised as the “bloodiest motorcycle helmet ever”—I have no doubt about that. In fact, should you ever crash you just might add a little of your own blood to mix. After all, this helmet is probably not DOT certified.

It takes a real bad ass to ride Hawaii’s giant rainbows. The kind of guy that craves a rush and puts safety on the backburner. If you can ride the rainbow out, you just might be able to run over the leprechaun and steal his pot of gold.
