In short, their jackets are just as cool on or off the bike.

We would like to take this opportunity to present their three most popular jackets, The Tempeste, The Postale, and their new Ladies jacket, The Turiste.

The Tempeste

The Tempeste jacket is a 3/4 length jacket fitted with a zip out fleece liner, and with multiple pockets for all those important items you need to carry when riding. The Tempeste is an armoured, waterproof jacket that ticks all the boxes in style, protection and warmth. In other words, it will not be out of place on the docks of Manchester or in Monte Carlo.

• Removable CE Rated Knox® Armour in shoulders, elbows & back
• 100% waterproof with Storm Shield 8000 technology
• Reflective 3M Scotchlite™ piping for 360° degree night time visibility
• Superior venting for warm days
• 3/4 length styling for more coverage
• YKK® high-grade zippers throughout
• Zip out fleece vest liner

The Postale

The Postale Jacket has the understated chic look that the UK's postal service jackets oozes, with small flashes of contrasting colour when your arm is extended. The Postale may use old style to look the part, but this is definitely a jacket for all riders.

Key Features:
• Removable CE Rated Knox® Armour in shoulders, elbows & back

• Reflective 3M Scotchlite™ striping for 360° degree night time visibility

The Turiste

Their design epitomises the look of and styling that is true to the 60’s style of Trench coat whilst combining the modern features that are expected of Jackets today. This jacket would not look out of place on the shoulders of Mrs Peel from the Avengers.

In fact, you could call this a "technical trench" thanks to its waterproof-breathable fabric, zippered vents and water and abrasion resistance.

Under its proper, double-breasted front lies a sneaky off-centre zipper so there's no unsightly "stacking" of clothing. The belt is tipped in 3M reflective fabric that appears white in light and is held in place by nice wide loops — nothing fiddly here. And the flattering above the knee cut is perfect to show off a pair of your own kinky boots.

Key Features

• 500 Denier nylon shell
• Waterproof-breathable fabric
• Reflective 3M Scotchlite™ trim for nighttime visibility
• YKK® high-grade zippers throughout
• Removable CE Rated Armour in shoulders, elbows & back

SIP PX Disc/Grimeca PX Disc Calipers

With every performance upgrade to improve the Vespa PX ranges speed and acceleration there is a need to also upgrade the braking system to match. This area is very often overlooked by owners, leaving their machine underbraked for the performance of their scooter.

SIP Germany, produce an uprated caliper for use either with the PX disc, or a PX with a Grimeca front disc upgrade, which are available through VE (UK), an authorised reseller of SIP products.

These brake calipers are manufactured from solid aluminium to a very high degree of precision and features an uprated brake piston of 31.5mm ensuring an increase in braking power. In addition to the increaded piston diameter, SIP have increased the brake pad width, providing a larger braking surface that avoids tilting of the pad whilst in use. The latest manufacturing technologies and high-quality materials make for an outstanding product.

Available in silver, gold, red ,and titanium grey, and with no other modifications required to the original braking system, the calipers are simply exchanged for the original smaller piston unit.
