Balmutti Yondu Ducati Hypermotard Ice Racer

Only a land as unforgiving as Russia could spawn a motorcycle like the Balmutti Yondu. Conceived by Balmutti's Vitaliy Selyukov, Vitaliy's goal was to compete at the Baikal Mile at the massive Lake Baikal, where temps can hit as low as -13 degrees. To accomplish his go, Vitaliy came up with a dual-front wheel design with a donor frame and motor from a Ducati Hypermotard — and a little inspiration from Anakin Skywalker's speeder. Completely designed and built by Vitaliy himself, the front uses reverse handlebars to control the wheels mounted to dual tubular swingarms with a Sachs shock for each. Brembo brakes with wave rotors set in moon discs at all three wheels provide the stopping power, while the 1100cc Ducati L-twin reinforces the genius of the project: A Garrett turbocharger with the turbine removed functions as a custom centrifugal supercharger, with a hand-built pulley system that runs off the crankshaft. A true custom in every sense of the world, the Yondu is the very definition of DIY brilliance.

Collars & Co. Quarter Zip Pullovers

Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts. While they look good under jackets, the performance polos look equally as good under that most versatile of pieces, the quarter-zip pullover. Equally as suitable for a chilly morning round of golf as a breezy sunset dinner, they come in a variety of styles, including reversible styles, stretchy, wrinkle-resistant golf models, cashmere and merino blends, and even cable-knit offerings for cooler weather. No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra Robot Vacuum + Mop

With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.
