Dime x Timex Presented by END. T80

The Timex T80 is one of the most iconic digital watches of all time. Now, the brand has paired up with Dime and END. to create an era-appropriate reimagining imbued with a bit of punk rock flair. The watch itself is the same classic digital timepiece with its stainless steel case and large display (including its Indiglo backlight), but it gets a studded belt-inspired link bracelet and a second leather strap, also accented by studs.

6D Max R Goggle

6D’s MAX Goggle aims to be a game-changer by offering a field of view like nothing else on the market, as the lens provides 87 percent more surface area than traditional motorcycle eyewear. As a result, because it features a shatterproof polycarbonate construction, it also delivers comparable protection to a face shield. Moreover, 6D has engineered a helmet-supported design to relieve facial pressure and integrated some 3D molded foam to provide a dust-resistant seal. Like other goggles in the brand’s catalog, the MAX is available with multiple tints, tear-off compatibility and roll-off options.

Knog Cobber Reflex Bike Lights

With both car and motorcycle lights getting smarter, why not bike lights too? That’s what Melbourne, Australia-based Knog is going for with a big update to its popular Cobber series, now featuring “adaptive reflex technology,” enabling the 350-lumen front and 250-lumen rear lights to shift their output based on speed, lean angle and environment. The innovation boosts daytime visibility and offers a wider, optimized field of view when the sun sets. The lights cost $80 apiece or $150 as a set, saving you 10 bucks.
