KLIM has introduced its 2027 motorcycle collection at EICMA, with Roughkut providing the range’s clearest change of direction. It is motorcycle equipment first, but its restrained styling is designed to work away from the bike too. The collection also expands KLIM’s dual-sport and adventure offering through Dakar GTX, while the Dakar and Mojave families receive extensive revisions. New helmet, footwear, airbag and women’s riding products complete the launch.

Roughkut puts riding protection into everyday shapes

The Ironwood Jacket uses lightweight waxed nylon and combines CE AA abrasion protection with KLIM Rogue Level 2 protection. The Grindstone Riding Shirt takes its visual cue from a flannel shirt, but adds CE AA abrasion protection and Rogue Level 1 armor. For colder conditions, the insulated Blackthorn Jacket adds a hood while retaining its motorcycle and off-bike positioning.

Roughkut also covers the redesigned K Fifty riding jeans, offered in relaxed, straight and tapered fits. The line includes the unarmored Unlimited Straight Riding Pant and the updated Women’s Betty Riding Pant. Its stretch riding trousers pair road-oriented abrasion performance with low-profile KLIM Rogue Phantom CE Level 1 armor.

A lighter Dakar route

Dakar GTX arrives as a Jacket and Pant intended to sit between lightweight Dual-Sport equipment and conventional Adventure gear. KLIM targets the system at Dual-Sport riders and midsized Adventure motorcycles, combining waterproof performance with street-rated abrasion protection, ventilation, storage and integrated Rogue Level 1 armor. The stated approach is to cut unnecessary bulk and weight while preserving the practical features needed for long days on the motorcycle.

The regular Dakar and Mojave ranges have also been redesigned for different Dual-Sport and Off-Road conditions. Dakar now spans a Jacket, Jersey, Pants, In-The-Boot Pants and Gloves, with attention to mobility, airflow and comfort. Mojave consists of Jersey, Pants, In-The-Boot Pants and Gloves, using open-mesh construction, stretch materials and articulated shaping to emphasize airflow, mobility and durability in aggressive hot-weather riding.

New helmet and protection products

The X1 Gamma is a new adventure helmet developed from the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic work of the X1 Alpha platform. Its equipment list includes a wide field of view, Optical Class 1 clarity, tool-free face-shield and peak-visor adjustment, plus four configurations covering Adventure, Street, Dual-Sport and Off-Road use.

The third-generation Marrakesh Jacket and Pant use breathable four-way-stretch KARBONITE Micromesh, revised material mapping and Rogue Level 2 armor. KLIM has also reworked the Ai-1 Airbag Vest, combining In&motion’s crash-detection system with a more breathable, low-profile chassis and a more robust air bladder.

The footwear additions take two different approaches. The waterproof Outlander GTX Tall Boot is nine inches high and combines motorcycle support, walking comfort and dual-zone BOA adjustment. The Teklander GTX Boot instead pairs waterproof protection and walkability with stable support on the footpegs. Women’s equipment includes a redesigned Women’s Marrakesh Jacket with Rogue Level 2 armor and a Betty Riding Pant made from abrasion-resistant stretch denim with low-profile Rogue Phantom armor.
