Moto Central vs Bike Stop

Moto Central showroom featured image for the Bike Stop comparison

Bike Stop in Stevenage is a genuine motorcycle clothing specialist with more than 40 years of experience. Its showroom occupies two floors, it has long-standing links with Dainese and it offers carefully selected gear across different budgets. Riders in Hertfordshire have good reasons to shop there.

We believe Moto Central is worth considering when you want an even larger helmet comparison, a different mix of major clothing brands and a dedicated women's showroom. Our two floors are entirely focused on rider equipment, with more than 1,000 helmets displayed and separate areas for sports, touring, adventure, urban, retro and premium kit.

Two Established Gear Specialists

Bike Stop's eight showroom rooms and strong Dainese history make it much more than a small local shop. Its focus on protective equipment and personal service is something we respect. For riders close to Stevenage, convenience may also make it the obvious first visit.

Our advantage is the scale and variety waiting in Wolvey. You can compare premium gear with strong mid-range and affordable alternatives, move between different riding styles and spend time finding a helmet shape that suits you. We also offer free self-service tea and coffee, so there is no need to rush a larger shopping list.

Sports motorcycle clothing and leathers at Moto Central
Sports riders can compare suits and separates from several leading brands.

A Wider Brand Mix to Try

Our clothing brands include RST, Richa, REV'IT!, Alpinestars, Dainese, Rukka, Merlin, Furygan, Bering, Spidi and Held. The point is not simply to display more logos. Different manufacturers cut jackets, trousers and suits differently, so a broad choice makes it easier to find the right fit.

Daytona, TCX, Sidi, Forma and Falco feature in our boot department. Cardo and Sena communications, Kriega luggage, Oxford accessories and Quad Lock products can be considered alongside the clothing they need to work with.

Helmet Fitting on a Larger Scale

We stock SHOEI, Arai, AGV, HJC, Shark, Schuberth, Bell, LS2, Nolan and other established makers, with more than 1,000 helmets displayed. Our team can help you judge fit, and we offer SHOEI Personal Fitting System support for eligible SHOEI helmets.

If you find something on our website before travelling, Reserve & Try In Store can help you arrange to see it at the showroom. Stock changes, so please contact us if one exact model or size is essential.

A Full Showroom for Women Riders

Women riders have a separate showroom with jackets, trousers, riding jeans, boots and gloves across several recognised brands. It is a proper department, not a token rail, and it gives women space to compare complete outfits comfortably.
