Arlen Ness

Mr. Arlen Ness, the Harley refiner from the custom bike scene founded in 1969 a small custom Bike garage. Through his innovative design, he quickly made great attention to himself and is now one of the greatest in the scene. This potential was also recognized by the managers of Madif Industries and so they started to develop a motorcycle collection with the successful brand name. A new worldwide successful brand was born.

The ultimate goal of Arlen Ness is to protect the riders. Because of the experience for years of Madif this brand belongs since his adoption to the best brands in the matter of safeness. That point change until today. The best example is the fatal horror crash from Shinya Nakano in the MotoGP series. The accident with over 300 km/h on start- finish line ceased to the surprise of all experts very lightly. One of the reasons that the accident was not that bad is that the Arlen Ness leather suit could resist that exorbitant burden.

Top riders like Ruben Xaus or Alex Barros trust the quality and service that Arlen Ness offers. Also German speaking riders like Pascal Eckhardt, Martin Bauer and Sebastien Diss are elated from this brand. Because of the high dedication in racing (MotoGP, SBK and national championships), Arlen Ness products are on the highest level of development. The innovations and developments they collected by racing will be passed on one to one to the customer.

Since September 2006, Held is the official exclusive importer of Arlen Ness in Germany and Switzerland.
