Schoeller Textil AG: Innovation and Excellence in Motorcycle Gear

PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 plays a vital role in ensuring motorcycle gear meets stringent safety standards, providing riders with reliable protection against hazards on the road. From impact-resistant armour to abrasion-resistant textiles, this regulation requires manufacturers to rigorously test their products for safety, durability, and comfort. Renowned brands like Alpinestars, Dainese, and RST adhere to these standards, offering CE-certified gear that instils confidence in every ride. At Moto Central, we prioritise safety by stocking an extensive range of regulation-compliant gear, helping riders choose the right equipment for their needs while ensuring peace of mind on every journey.

The European Economic Area (EEA) plays a pivotal role in shaping the motorcycle gear industry, ensuring uniform safety and quality standards across its member countries. At Moto Central, we embrace these regulations by offering a wide selection of EEA-compliant products, including CE-certified jackets, trousers, and boots, as well as helmets that meet the latest ECE 22.06 standards. With a focus on premium brands like Dainese, Alpinestars, and Rukka, we provide riders with access to cutting-edge safety technologies and innovative designs. Whether you're riding locally or touring across Europe, Moto Central ensures you’re equipped with gear that meets the highest benchmarks of protection and performance.
