Spring 2006 Alpinestars Group Buy

Cal-Sportbike · 01-19-2006, 3:33 AM

Spring is coming, and with it the new line of riding gear from Alpinestars for 2006!

Although the focus is on their new items, the sale is good on all Alpinestars riding apparel; boots, gloves, leathers, jackets, pants, protection, under armor, etc. It is only open to current members, and ALL SALES ARE FINAL (no exchanges or returns). So be sure to TRY ON GEAR or visit alpinestars.com/sizing to get your correct sizing before you order. I can certainly answer posts to help with fitment, but I can only get so accurate sight unseen.

To provide you ample lead time to get sizing and pull together funds, we are giving prices (no posting publicly to respect MAP policies) via PM from now through 2/12. Ordering will be open from 2/12 through 2/20. If any item is not in stock, you will be notified and you may choose to reserve the item with a 20% deposit.
Perfect timing, as most of the new 2006 Alpinestars gear will hit their warehouses around the same time. Great to be the first on your block to sport the newest gear...

So take a look at http://www.alpinestars.com, post up questions here, and for prices send a PM to FB.org moderator ccwilli3 (Charlie), who is coordinating the deal for members. He will PM the price to you while I will post answers to general questions. Remember that we will charge tax for CA residents, and locals can pick up your order at the shop or have us ship it to you via UPS.

* NOTE: The Alpinestars website covers all regions. Not all items on that site are being imported into the USA for 2006. Feel free to inquire on any items if you're not sure.

What's the difference between the SMX Lower Back Protector and the Orion Kidney belt?

Pm has been sent to the two guys above...

For faster response, PM me directly, I'll get an email from you and you'll get a response from me a bit faster... If you post here, I'll get you some pricing, but there will be some delay.

Not sure what you mean on SMX lower back protector. That's not a listed item for 2006 from what I see. Most sportbike riders purchase the Tech or Tech Race back protector, and a few get the SMX armor "jackets". The Orion kidney belt is for MX riders.

You'll see SMX Lower Back Protector on the lower left hand corner. If possible, give me a price on it. If you can't find it, then nevermind. Thanks.

Ah. I see it. It's not on their import list into the USA which is why I didn't see a cross reference for it. That doesn't mean it will not be imported, but looking at the Parts Unlimited database, they do not show it, and it's not in anything the Alpinestars corporate rep showed me last week as due for release in the USA this spring, sorry.

Could you pm me a price on the orange vector suit?

trixskier · 01-23-2006, 12:02 PM

SX 1 piece.

Thanks

PS. Is the Blue still the only perforated one in the SX

I hate the A* website!

Cal-Sportbike · 01-23-2006, 2:39 PM

SX1 is part of the 2005 line that has been discontinued. SMX, SMX2, and SX1 are all gone, sorry. The MX1 is probably the closest replacement suit.

We have the majority of their US-imported riding apparel on our website, and I'm happy to PM or post answers to questions on what's available.

Hi!
How much is the price+shipping to Sweden for a pair of GP+ glove?

Cal-Sportbike · 02-17-2006, 5:51 AM

You have a PM.

Serial Thriller · 02-22-2006, 1:41 PM

Is it too late to get in on this? I'd like a price on an Alloy and Spinner jacket.
