The Apex is both a place and a moment in time. It’s the one spot in a corner where lean angle, speed, traction and inertia are all perfectly balanced. Mastering it results in the fastest and most efficient way to ride. Racers spend their lives trying to master this one spot, lap after lap. The Apex Jacket was inspired by this drive. The design, style, technology, features and construction are integrated in perfect ratios. The result: The highest-performing sport touring jacket ever offered. Providing best-in-class aggressive/sport style, unbeatable weather protection, impressive abrasion resistance and complete impact coverage, the Apex Jacket has all the corners covered.
