Sydney – The Harley-Davidson® MotorClothes® apparel brand has launched its first ever range of Performance Riding Jeans, merging comfort and style with the latest technology to offer the ultimate in protective clothing.
The all new collection has been developed with patented best in class ROOMOTO® material lining – designed specifically for motorcycle riders - to offer double the resistance against abrasion, tearing and bursting.
CE approved, the new Performance Riding Jeans range is made with highest-grade denim and features ROOMOTO® lining at major contact points – with half the weight and twice the resistance of traditional linings. Made with up to 98% cotton, the breathable outer fabric also offers cooling, anti-bacterial and wicking qualities to combine performance and technical features with distinctive Harley-Davidson styling.

Adam Wright, Director of Marketing for Harley-Davidson Australia & New Zealand, commented: "The all new H-D Performance Riding Jeans collection has been developed to ensure our riders have access to industry leading protective clothing.
"The development process tested abrasion resistance, tensile strength and durability against tearing and penetration - with no compromises. The proof is in the CE marking: our FXRG Performance Riding Jean offered 7.6 seconds of resistance against a belt grinder time test to achieve the coveted 'CE 2' status. Putting that into perspective, normal fabric will tear in less than half a second," he continued.
The H-D Performance Riding Jeans collection is currently on sale at Authorised Harley-Davidson Dealers nationally across Australia and New Zealand, with all listed prices being Recommended Retail Prices which may differ between retailers.
