KLIM's EICMA off-road preview describes a redesigned Dakar series with improved airflow and mobility, including rider-controlled pant ventilation. Mojave takes the hot-weather approach: open mesh, reinforced high-wear areas and improved stretch sleeves across a jersey, pant and glove system. The page points to spring 2027 launch updates; it does not publish prices for the new lineup. [1]
Separately, KLIM previews Rogue Phantom as its thinnest and lightest armor, intended as low-bulk limb protection inside compatible gear. KLIM says it passes CE Level 1 impact testing in all four conditions and gives spring 2027 as its launch window. The preview supplies no Phantom price. These are manufacturer statements, not results from our own impact testing. [2]
Our reading is that the useful choice begins with the ride, not the matching outfit. When a day can start cold and turn warm, adjustable ventilation deserves attention. When the whole ride is hot, open airflow becomes the more obvious question. Those are buying questions prompted by the preview; they are not a claim that we have compared the new garments on a trail.
When the full specifications arrive, we would check fit over your existing protection, pocket placement, boot configuration and the exact armor included or sold separately. Do not assume the Phantom announcement means every Dakar or Mojave item includes it. A low-bulk protector still needs to fit the intended garment and remain in the right position; confirm compatibility with KLIM before mixing pieces.
