Hi Guys,
Looking at a Axo talon Leather suit on special at Torpedo 7 (http://www.torpedo7.co.nz/shop/moto/road-leather-suits) wanting to know if anyone has tried or had any experience with this suit or brand in general, I have not heard of them much!
I was leaning towards a 2pc rather than a 1pc as I will be doing riding around the South Island and only a few track days, I really just want the extra safety over textile gear now that I am on a 1000cc bike. any feedback is appreciated.

Haven't tried them but they are a well known product & that is a sharp price. Either way 1 piece are a pain on the road. 2 piece zip together or you will regret it.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Can you clarify the downsides of a 1pc on the road? just a comfort factor?Originally Posted by F5 Dave

Toilet stops & ease of fitting other layers + when you get to a cafe you can take your jacket off.
1 piece are so much easier for racing though. But 2 sets are best in that case, one for road, one for race

Did not realise T7 had full suits. Might grab one as the price is pretty bloody good! Hardly ever take a piss when out riding so I think I should be ok with a 1PC

I just got a 2 piece and I don't think it is all that much easier anyway. I've pretty much had to do the kiddie wees thing a couple of times already.Did not realise T7 had full suits.

I'd rather be taking my pants off than the jacket, but people tend to get upset about that unless you're close enough to water to call them togs (apparently Kaikoura BP is NOT close enough, whingers), so you're screwed in a 1 or 2 piece really =P

You think too far ahead

I bought a one piece Axo for racing. No complaints so far. Have a two piece as well (not Axo).
Pain in the arse unzipping and zipping the two piece up when you want to take it off.
Up to you though.
Seen more than a few at the track, so cant be all bad.
Cant vouch for how they stand up in a spill, (hope I never have to).
I would say they would offer more protection than textile.
Blue is BETTER
That's piss poor for you mate!Did not realise T7 had full suits. Might grab one as the price is pretty bloody good! Hardly ever take a piss when out riding so I think I should be ok with a 1PC
The other day, I decided to offer a few 'suggestions' to a sometimes vocal employee regarding their road riding gear. One of them was that they had everything for the road apart from pants. I thought the very least they should have riding jeans. The other was no one in NZ know what their gear is like. Axo has a decent rep overseas (I think it's the street department of Fox) but here there's nothing. I said they needed to lend kit to their staff and get some reviews and feedback happening.
2 days later they offered pants. Since it was my idea for the feedback thing, I'm still waiting for a 'lend' of a suit. LOL. Obviously they've been wanting to offer a more complete range of road gear for a while but have been just testing the waters. Interesting that they've had a suit for a while but no pants.
They've got some decent looking kit now.

You would think they would offer pants to someone that actually rides
I forgot sale ended today. Will have to wait until next week.
Looks like I need to suggest a sample to another vocal employee. Wonder how long till they catch on
