Why Motorcycle Riders Love RS Taichi
We started our company here in Western New York as a motorcycle shop to help local riders maximize their ride and provide great service. We’ve evolved over the years into an e-commerce motorcycle parts store that can ship you some of the top products that only true gearheads understand. With the ability to pick and choose the brands we sell ON your bike, we also love helping riders find the best brands to WEAR on their bike! RS Taichi is one of those brands that we always love selling to new and experienced riders.
What Makes RS Taichi a Great Motorcycle Brand?
RS Taichi is known for high-end professional leather racing suits, lightweight CE-rated armor and chest protectors, and high-airflow perforated gear. Professional motocross racer Taichi Yoshimura founded the company in 1975, and the Japanese brand is one of the top motorcycle apparel providers in the world. That’s why Moto Z sells it!
If you’re new to track days or getting into racing your bike on the track, you’ll want to know about RS Taichi. So that’s why we’re going to help you learn today on the Shop Talk blog!
Comfort
One of the top reasons why people love RS Taichi racing suits and apparel is the fit. They create such a perfect tailored fit specifically for aggressive riding posture. This helps to prevent binding and pinching as you're making your maneuvers. RS Taichi gear uses advanced 3D mesh panels and high-ventilation materials for hot weather riding. The last thing is they just look cool! They often feature clever features like removable hoods and other ideas that help to make the gear look good on, but also off the bike.
Safety & Innovation
RS Taichi was an early adopter of strict European safety certifications, bringing protection to streets and tracks in Japan and beyond. They have been at the forefront of motorcycle innovation for decades. Founded in 1976 as a pro motorcycle gear shop in Osaka, gear bags were the first original manufactured products.
They were the originators of the first racing suits with built-in airbags. They developed the original tire warmer with Japanese fiber manufacturer TEIJIN. This also crossed over into providing tire warmers for McLaren’s Formula 1 Racing team back in the 90s. They also produce some of the safest products and have always been at the forefront of chest protector technology, to address a leading cause of fatal riding injuries.
Something for Everyone
Being so entrenched in professional motorcycle racing, RS Taichi could only provide products for professional racers, but they don’t limit the brand. They create products for everyone, from racers to casual riders. So no matter if you plan to go to track days or just take your bike out for a ride, you can find gloves, jackets, and more!
