Highside

A Community Hub Driven by Expertise and Hospitality

Highside has established itself as a premier destination for motorcyclists in Melbourne, offering far more than a standard retail experience. The shop is widely regarded as a community hub where riders gather to share stories, enjoy high-quality coffee, and connect with a supportive network of enthusiasts. This welcoming atmosphere, often described as having a chill and funky vibe, makes it a favorite spot for both seasoned racers and new riders looking for advice.

Unmatched Product Range and Custom Services

The store boasts an extensive and carefully curated selection of motorcycle apparel, accessories, and parts. Customers consistently praise the competitive pricing and the availability of niche brands that are hard to find elsewhere. Beyond standard gear, Highside offers specialized services, including:

• Custom Race Suits: Tailor-made leather suits designed for performance and safety.
• Comprehensive Gear Selection: From helmets and heated gloves to boots and jackets, with expert assistance for perfect fitment.
• Parts and Modifications: A wide range of bike parts, exhausts, and accessories, with professional advice on installation and compatibility.

Exceptional Customer Service and Local Support

The heart of Highside’s reputation lies in its staff, particularly the owner, Phil, and team members like Jay and Jen, who are frequently described as knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. Reviews highlight their willingness to go above and beyond, such as helping customers fit batteries, sourcing out-of-stock parts quickly, or even providing tools for free to assist with bike repairs. This no-BS, honest approach ensures customers feel confident in their purchases, whether they are buying their first helmet or upgrading to professional racing gear.
