Moto Central vs Sportsbikeshop

Moto Central showroom featured image for the Sportsbikeshop comparison

Sportsbikeshop is one of the UK's largest and best-known motorcycle clothing and accessory retailers. Its huge online range, multiple stores, competitive service and Reserve & Collect model make it an excellent option for riders who value nationwide convenience.

We believe Moto Central deserves a place on the same shortlist. Our independent showroom near Hinckley has two floors devoted to rider gear, more than 1,000 helmets on display and a fully stocked ladies' showroom. You can browse at your own pace, speak to a team that knows the physical range and enjoy a more personal destination-store experience.

National Scale or an Independent Showroom?

Sportsbikeshop's size is a real strength. Its website covers a very wide catalogue, and its stores give riders in several parts of the country access to recognised brands and collection services. We are not trying to suggest otherwise.

Our difference is the feel and focus of the visit. Moto Central is one large independent showroom where both floors, the displays and our team are centred on motorcycle clothing and helmets. Customers can take time over fit, compare complete outfits and have a tea or coffee without the visit feeling like a warehouse collection.

A Brand Range Worth Comparing in Person

We stock clothing from RST, Richa, REV'IT!, Alpinestars, Dainese, Rukka, Merlin, Furygan, Bering, Spidi, Halvarssons and Held. Sports, touring, adventure, urban, retro and premium departments make it easy to focus on the equipment relevant to you.

Our footwear includes Daytona, TCX, Sidi, Forma, Falco and Gaerne. Cardo and Sena communications, Kriega luggage, Oxford accessories and products from Quad Lock, Beeline, Garmin and TomTom add the practical extras many riders want to compare.

More Than 1,000 Helmets With Fitting Support

Our helmet department includes SHOEI, Arai, AGV, HJC, Shark, Schuberth, Bell, LS2, Nolan, Caberg, Scorpion, Roof and other established makers. The number on display lets customers compare head shapes, styles and features without relying on an online size guide.

Our team can help you judge fit, and SHOEI Personal Fitting System support is available for eligible SHOEI helmets. We also offer Reserve & Try In Store when you want to arrange to see selected products from our own website.
