Riding Gear - Ducati Multistrada 2200S Pikes Peak Owner's Manual

Riding gear

Clothing in the use of the motorcycle plays an
important role in safety, as the motorcycle provides
a person no protection from impact in the same way
as an automobile.
Suitable clothing includes: helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, long-sleeved jacket and long pants.
- The helmet must have the requirements listed in
page 9; if your helmet does not have a visor, use
suitable eye wear;
- Gloves must have five fingers and be made of
leather or other abrasion-resistant material;
- Boots or shoes used for riding must have non-slip
soles and ankle protection;
- Jacket and pants, or even riding suits, must be
made of leather or abrasion-resistant material
and in a color with inserts that are very visible.
Important
In any case, avoid wearing loose or floppy
clothing that can become stuck in the motorcycle
parts.
