News - Professionals hold trade fair in Montpellier -

On the occasion of the 2nd Professional Motorcycle and Scooter Days, which take place until this evening in Montpellier, Moto-Net went to rediscover some interesting novelties that will be available in spring. Anthology.

Three months after the Paris Motor Show, the Professional Motorcycle and Scooter Days (JPMS) attracted for two days, over 10,000 square meters at the Montpellier Exhibition Center, around a hundred exhibitors representing more than 230 brands. Strictly reserved for professionals, this show is above all "an efficient working tool"for motorcyclists, allowing them to position themselves"in pole position to start the season". Thus the conference of François Cominardi, president and founder of OFDAM, on the regulation of the sales of exhausts, allowed them to take stock of this particularly thorny subject (read).

But the JPMS are also an opportunity to rediscover, in a studious but relaxed atmosphere punctuated by "sausages" sprinkled with a splash of red, the 2004 novelties which will be available in the coming weeks..

At GPA, the 2004 star is still the Reevu, a full-face helmet with an integrated mirror that allows you to see behind without looking at your mirrors … The result of an English patent, this three-mirror periscope system was first developed for bicycle helmets. Adapted to the motorcycle, the Reevu is quite confusing at first and requires a period of adaptation to be able to be used wisely..

Weighing 1,450 g (fiber shell), GPA Reevu will be marketed in concessions from February at the recommended retail price of 349 euros.

Many headset manufacturers are now integrating the presence of a hands-free mobile phone kit, but Airoh goes further by offering a special location on the back of its Fly Phone model. !

The other particularity of this jet, available in metallic black or metallic gray, is that it is multisize thanks to a dial that allows you to go from XS to M or from L to XL depending on the head of your passengers..

The Airoh range also includes children’s helmets with a funny design (cross, full face and jet), just like Caberg or Nox which offer children’s road helmets at 90 euros..

On the luggage side, Bagster confirms the public’s high expectations at the Mondial for its metallic-look tank covers, which will be available in around ten colors from March. This metallic range, which blends in completely with the rest of the bike, will replace the entire matt range with the exception of the black. Bagster is also developing a modular saddle prototype, which allows you to choose between a "normal" two-seater, a "sport" single-seater with seat cowl (photo) or a single-seater with a storage compartment of about 20 liters..

Still under study, this saddle box "close to the top case"should be marketed"at the end of 2004, probably in Munich, around 300 euros", specifies Jacques Nicolas, CEO of Bagster.

The La Ferte-Mace group is also preparing a "backpack tank bag"thermocompressed (semi-rigid) with special slot for the laptop (photo), which should be available in June (around 120 euros).

Concerning alarms, among the multitude of products available, the patent filed by Franck Dubouchet and marketed by Giga-Top deserves to be studied: the Nomad is a wireless alarm with an autonomy of about 3 months, which recharges like a simple cell phone. Sensitive to the slightest movement, it can be fixed under the saddle or around the U but can also be placed in a bag, a suitcase, a car, etc..

PS which has nothing to do with: the whole Moto-Net team wishes you a happy new year 2004 !
