Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Nexus 1.0 Leather Motorcycle Suit is designed for motorcycle riders seeking high-level protection and comfort without a premium price tag. Its key benefit is CE AAA certified protection with CE Level 2 armour at vital points, offering significant safety. A potential caveat is that while highly protective, it's a one-piece suit, which may be less convenient for some riders compared to two-piece options. This suit features premium cowhide leather, extensive stretch panels for flexibility, and advanced climate control through perforation and a removable lining.

FAQs

Is this suit suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?

Yes, the CE AAA certification and Level 2 armour make it highly suitable for sport riding, track days, and general road use. Its design balances protection with comfort for various riding styles.

How do I clean the Oxford Nexus 1.0 suit?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for stains. The removable lining can be hand-washed and air-dried. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

What is the benefit of the aerodynamic race hump?

The race hump is designed to improve aerodynamics by reducing drag, particularly when the rider is in a tucked position, commonly used on the track. It can also contribute to better posture and comfort on sportbikes.

Can the armour be removed or upgraded?

Yes, the CE Level 2 armour at key points (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees) is typically removable, allowing for cleaning of the suit or potential upgrades to different armour types if desired and compatible.

Does the suit have good ventilation?

The suit features strategic perforation zones on the leather for airflow, and a fully removable breathable mesh lining that can be taken out to increase ventilation in warmer conditions.

What is the warranty period for this suit?

Specific warranty information should be checked with the retailer, but Oxford typically offers a standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

How do the stretch panels enhance the fit?

Accordion leather stretch panels at the elbows and knees, along with extensive stretch textile areas, allow the suit to move with the rider, providing a more comfortable, less restrictive fit during various riding positions.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Leather suits require a break-in period; wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The stretch panels should provide some give, but a fundamentally ill-fitting suit cannot be corrected.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of wax or zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Lining feels warm or not breathable

Ensure the removable mesh lining is properly installed. If it feels too warm, try removing the lining entirely for better airflow, especially in hot weather.

Leather appears dry or stiff

The leather may need conditioning. Apply a dedicated leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. Avoid using excessive amounts or products not designed for motorcycle leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Oxford Nexus 1.0 is a one-piece suit designed for direct wear. Ensure the suit is the correct size for a snug but not restrictive fit. The armour at the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees should sit correctly over the corresponding body parts. The suit features YKK semi-auto lock zippers for easy donning and doffing.

Compatibility: This suit is designed for use with standard motorcycle riding gear. It is compatible with most motorcycle boots and gloves. The CE Level 2 armour is integrated but can typically be removed for cleaning or replacement following the manufacturer's instructions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the leather exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. The removable mesh lining can be hand-washed with mild soap and water and air-dried.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Storage: Store the suit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Hang it on a sturdy, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Ensure the suit is completely dry before storing.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the suit for any signs of wear and tear, particularly on seams and abrasion points. Check the integrity of zippers and armour.
