MOTORCYCLE RACING IS AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER. Racing is not just about speed and competition. It‘s about feeling alive, facing your fears and pushing your limits. It’s a sensory overload of engine and elements. A balancing act between vulnerability and invincibility. It‘s a journey that transcends the race itself, reminding us that life is about embracing the unknown, chasing your dreams, and writing your own stories of courage and resilience.

“IN THE WORLD OF MOTORCYCLE RACING, EVERY TWIST OF THE THROTTLE IS A DECLARATION OF COURAGE, AN UNSPOKEN AGREEMENT TO IGNORE DANGER IN PURSUIT OF VICTORY. IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT SPEED; IT’S A SYMPHONY OF CONTROL AND CHAOS, A THRILLING BLEND OF MAN AND MACHINE PUSHING LIMITS THAT OTHERS DARE NOT.”

ACCELERATION Acceleration isn‘t merely a physical sensation; it‘s an emotional journey. It‘s the thrill of feeling the wind whip past, tugging at your very being as the world blurs into a canvas of colors. It‘s the rush of adrenaline that surges through your body, reminding you that you‘re alive in every sense of the word. With each twist of the throttle, you‘re catapulted into a realm where time and worries melt away, leaving only the exhilarating present.

WE HAVE MADE IT! After 31,000 kilometers, Alain and I have reached the Cape of Good Hope. Behind us lies a journey like a rollercoaster ride. There were countless wonderful days along the way, but there were also days when we would have preferred to throw in the towel and were incredibly frustrated. But even though it was difficult at times, we never lost our humor or confidence until the end. Now, standing together in this storm-tossed place in South Africa feels indescribably good after all that we have experienced. It is the crowning glory of perhaps the most beautiful journey we have ever made. - Erik Peters

CONQUER THE HEIGHTS "One of the most incredible epic rides in Argentina takes you from Antofagasta to Mina la Casualidad/ Mina Julia, reaching an impressive altitude of 5250 meters (17150 feet). This remote route is undeniably captivating, leading to a destination that stands as one of the world‘s most remarkable places. The sheer isolation of the journey adds to its allure, offering an experience where the altitude reaches astonishing heights and human presence becomes scarce. It‘s these extraordinary and isolated locations that truly cement Argentina‘s reputation as one of the premier countries for motorcycle adventure riding across the globe.“ - Miri and Tobi (RTW-Riders)

The name “iXS” came from a discussion where people no longer knew what to call the brand.

Y
The very first motorcycle suit was made of wool and was therefore called the “Teddy Bear” suit.

In Formula 1 a helmet costs between 3’000 and 12’000 CHF, but in Moto GP it costs the same as in store.
Until 1980 there was no obligation to wear a helmet in Switzerland.
Gloves that were used for racing are made of kangaroo leather on the outside and goatskin on the inside.
The longest route you can take on a motorcycle is called “Panamerica”. It goes through 17 nations - from Alaska to Argentina.
