When it comes to motorcycle touring, preparation is everything. Whether you’re carving up mountain roads, chasing the coastline, or crossing the outback, having the right touring riding essentials can turn a long ride into the adventure of a lifetime.
At MotoHeaven, we live and breathe two-wheeled travel — so here’s our ultimate list of motorcycle touring gear to make sure you’re ready for whatever the open road throws your way.
1. Start with the Right Helmet
A long ride means long hours in the saddle, and your helmet is your most important companion. Look for a touring helmet that’s quiet, comfortable, and aerodynamic, with strong ventilation and room for a Bluetooth system.
Our top touring helmets include:
-
HJC RPHA91 – Lightweight comfort with a premium fit and drop-down sun visor.
-
Shoei Neotec 3 – The benchmark for modular touring helmets.
-
Arai Tour-X5 – A versatile option for adventure-style touring.
All are available now at MotoHeaven.com.au.
2. All-Weather Riding Gear
Australia’s conditions can change fast — so your motorcycle touring jacket and pants need to handle heat, rain, and everything in between. Choose waterproof, breathable materials and built-in protection like D3O armour for comfort and safety.
Favourites among our customers:
-
Alpinestars Bogota Pro Drystar Jacket – Built tough with waterproof versatility.
-
Dririder Orbit ADV C1 Boots – All-day comfort and protection, whatever the weather.
3. Luggage That Lasts
Smart luggage setup = stress-free touring. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or a month, motorcycle luggage systems from Ventura or OGIO keep your gear dry, secure, and easy to access.
From tail bags to tank bags, we’ve got a range designed for durability and function — perfect for your next big trip.
4. Stay Connected and Navigated
Communication systems are a must for long rides. The latest Cardo Packtalk Pro and Sena SRL3 units let you connect with your riding group, take calls, listen to music, and follow navigation without missing a beat.
Stay focused on the road while keeping your world within reach.
5. Comfort Counts
Touring is all about endurance — and comfort is king.
Add accessories like cruise control throttles, gel seat cushions, or bar risers to take the pressure off on those long stretches. And don’t forget a hydration pack — staying cool and hydrated can make or break a big day in the saddle.
6. Security and Safety
When you stop for the night, protect your pride and joy with a reliable lock or tracker.
We recommend:
-
Oxford XA6 Alarm Disc Lock – Compact, loud, and tough to beat.
-
Monimoto 7 & 9 Smart Trackers – Easy setup, app-based security, and peace of mind.
7. Emergency & Maintenance Kits
Every smart rider packs a few key tools. A tyre repair kit, mini compressor, and basic tool roll can save a ride. Throw in some tape, zip ties, and a first aid kit — and you’ll be ready for almost anything the road throws your way.
