January isn’t traditionally known as riding season, but when it comes to buying motorcycle gear, it might just be the smartest month of the year.

While many riders wait until spring to think about new kit, those who act earlier often enjoy better choice and zero last-minute stress when riding season returns.

 

More choice, fewer compromises

 

Shopping online in January gives you access to a broader range of sizes, colours and styles before demand ramps up in spring. Once riding season approaches, popular sizes and best-selling items can sell through quickly. Buying earlier means choosing what suits you, not settling for what’s left.

Our online shop makes it easy to browse by category, brand or riding style, allowing you to take your time and compare options properly rather than rushing a decision.

 

Value that makes upgrading worthwhile

 

January is one of the few times of year when upgrading quality makes financial sense. Instead of replacing worn kit like-for-like, many riders use this period to step up to better materials, improved weather protection or added safety features.

From jackets and gloves to boots and base layers, January offers an opportunity to invest in gear you’ll rely on all year, not just something to get you through the colder months.

 

Be ready when riding season returns

 

The first dry weekend of the year often catches riders out. Ordering online in January means your gear is already sorted, broken in and ready to go when the roads improve.

It also avoids last-minute purchases driven by urgency rather than suitability, which often lead to compromise.

 

A smarter way to prepare for the year ahead

 

Using January to plan and purchase online puts you in control. You can research, compare and invest at your own pace, knowing your gear is ready well before the season gets underway.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your kit this year, our online shop is the ideal place to start, with a wide range of riding gear and accessories available now and delivered direct to your door.

Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
