AXO Review

AXO has a corporate office in Santa Clarita, California and other corporate offices in Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. They are an international company that manufactures and distributes all kinds of apparel and accessories for motocross, free style riding, BMX riding, cycling, and road and street riding. The company is accomplishing its vision of becoming a worldwide leader in producing motorsport and cycling accessories. It is not only focused on the factory-sponsored championship riders but also on beginning riders. It is committed to four values: financial wisdom, people (e.g., stockholders, athletes, business partners), sport (as a way of living and not just a day job), and innovation. There are all kinds of products offered by AXO. They include bags, casual wear, cycling gloves and shorts/pants, hats, helmets, leather jackets, protectors (e.g., knee cups, elbow cups, chest protectors), socks, and accessories (e.g., key chains, sliders, soles, umbrella, etc.). The product line that contains the widest selection of merchandise is the MX gear (footwear, gloves, jackets, jerseys, and pants). There is footwear, gloves, jackets, pants, and suits for road biking and gloves and shorts/pants for cycling. The biking community is pleased with the light weight, ventilation, and comfort of the chest protector. But they would like to see forearm protectors in it. On the other hand, the biking community is very pleased with the RR9 helmet by AXO. AXO knee pads are visually-pleasing in appearance but may not protect your knees very well because they do not stay in place. AXO pants are praised by the biking community for their durability, quality of protection, and fit.
