Budget supermarket chain Aldi is stepping it up a notch by launching of a new range of affordable motorcycle gear . The company reckons its £80 jacket and £60 trousers , made from 'high-standard ' textile designed to protect against abrasion , are the cheapest in Britain . And they are certainly a bargain compared to the prices of brand leader Weise Avance , whose motorcycle jacket and jeans retail for £1,219.98 altogether - the jacket for £639.99 and trousers for £579.99 . Aldi is launching of a new range of affordable motorcycle gear , with this whole outfit costing just £180 . The range of clothes that includes a trousers , boots for £29.99 , motorcycle tank bags at a bargain £12.99 and gloves at £19.99 , is sure to be snapped up in minutes when it 's released on March 8 . The store will also sell thermal under layers including a long-sleeved top and long johns . And not only are the clothes a much more affordable option for motorbiking enthusiasts , but they also passed the safety test with flying colours . The pass zone for the Level 2 impact abrasion test is seven seconds of abrasion resistance in body zones 1 and 2 , which include the shoulders and elbows . Aldi 's jacket and trousers exceed these requirements , achieving over 13 seconds of abrasion resistance across all four zones of the garment . John Chatterton-Ross , of Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme ( FIM ) , the governing body for motorcycle racing , said : 'This is the first time I 've seen a UK retailer selling a motorcycling jacket and trousers of this high standard at such low prices . Not only are the clothes an affordable option , but they also passed the safety test with flying colours . Pictured : High-standard textile jacket , £80 . 'The protection offered by Aldi 's products exceeds the requirements for impact abrasion and impact cut resistance demanded by the European standard for zones 1 and 2 in all zones . 'Few products on the market can match this . Often , even in premium brands , it is only the protectors that are certified , not the rest of the garment . 'It is great to see that with Aldi 's motorcycling jacket and trousers , safety does not have to come with a high price tag . ' The motorcycling range comes after a whole host of specialist ranges launched by the supermarket - from Equestrian and fishing gear , to yoga and even ski clothing and accessories . And just last June , the chain even brought the world 's most expensive beef , Wagyu , to its aisles at £6.99 for a sirloin steak . John Chatterton-Ross , of Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme it 's 'the first time I 've seen a UK retailer selling a motorcycling jacket and trousers of this high standard at such low prices .

Tony Baines of Aldi said of the new range : 'Whether shopping for everyday items or hobby equipment within our Specialbuys ranges , we are keen to offer something for everyone ' .

Normally , luxury stores , gourmet butchers and food websites sell the beef for the equivalent of an eye-watering £100 per kilo - putting it out of reach for most families . The move to offer luxury food and clothing at discount prices is part of a wider drive to attract middle and upper income shoppers away from the 'big four ' - Tesco , Asda , Sainsbury 's and Morrisons . Tony Baines of Aldi said : 'Whether shopping for everyday items or hobby equipment within our Specialbuys ranges , we are keen to offer something for everyone - giving our customers the opportunity to stock up for less without compromising on quality . 'The motorcycling range is of no exception and we 're proud of the level of safety we 've achieved at this unbeatable price point . '
