This one piece suit is built for racing, track days and “Performance Riding” (which we take to mean riding slightly faster on the public highway than perhaps you should!). Named to pay homage to Japan’s twin ring race circuit, the Motegi leather suit has a durable and abrasion resistant full-grain leather construction, of 1.3mm full-grain leather, with Aramidic fibre stretch panels on the sides, arms, crotch and back of the knees and lightweight, contoured mesh calf panels which give a better fit and which avoid that discomfort you can get when you stuff traditional leathers into your riding boots. There’s a mesh liner to keep you cool and comfort on longer rides and Alpinestars exclusively profiled ventilated back hump is aerodynamically sculpted for superior air flow and reduced drag at high speeds.
But it’s not all about comfort. The rider protection includes advanced CE certified protectors on the elbows, shoulders and knees for impact protection, CE level 2 certified Bionic Race Back Protector, removable CE certified GP protectors in the elbows and shoulders with injection moulded shells and dual density foam padding, race-derived, CE approved GP-R knee/shin protectors feature a floating construction for a precise fit in the riding position and TPR reinforcements on the shoulder to give additional abrasion and shock resistance in that all important and very vulnerable area.
The multi-level stitching is designed so that in the event of an ‘off’, tearing is kept to a minimum, which is good to know, even if you’re not planning to crash on a regular basis!
The suggested retail price is £ 599.99
It’s available in black and white, black gold and white (pictured) and black red and white.
