RICOCHET FOR THE FEMAL FORM
12 July 2005 - Planet Knox Ltd

Planet-Knox is one of the few companies to recognise the growing number of female riders. In Britain alone, Compulsory Basic Training by women riders has increased by 62% in 10 years.

And of the 225,000 female riders in the U.K. today, 63% use their bike to get around day to day! Of course, they also deserve the best protection possible when riding their bikes!

The Ricochet – the most advanced back-protector for motorcyclists to date, comes in sizes to suit the generally smaller & more shapely female frame. The Ricochet combines the best features of both “soft” and “hard” back-protectors. It absorbs massive amounts of energy from an impact, comfortably exceeding the new European standard for back-protectors [EN1621-2] AND can withstand repeated impacts.

The Ricochet achieves this thanks to a unique honeycomb structure, which rebounds when impacted, while also absorbing huge amounts of energy. So it acts like both a cushion and an armour plate. Other innovative features include.

· Transparent panel to inspect the honeycomb structure.

· More sizes to choose from than any other brand: suitable for women, men & children.

· Quick release shoulder straps that can be worn in two ways - complete comfort for all shapes & sizes of rider. They can even be removed, if required under racing regulations.

· Vent system – allows hot air to be drawn through and dispersed via a chimney effect.

· One-way torsion control (so back resists bending backwards).

The Ricochet small & large (female fit) sells for £79.99.

It is also available in the following sizes (price varies according to size from £49.99 - £89.99); Ricochet small & large (male fit); Ricochet Race & 9-plate (XL size).
