The Racing Absolute Leather Suit uses lessons learnt from the MotoGP World Championship and input from Alpinestars athletes to create a state-of-the-art racing suit which sets new benchmarks for protective technology available to riders. An example of this is the brand-new innovative aramid bonded leather that is found in the areas of the suit prone to high abrasion; the shoulders, knees, elbows, forearm, seat, and the sides of the back all have this added layer of protection along with dual-leather layers. This aramidic bonding is proven to significantly increase tear and abrasion resistance while also protecting the rider from heat transfer, particularly in the case of a long slide on the tarmac. Body mapped to give a full-on racing fit, the Racing Absolute is made from premium-grade 1.1 mm kangaroo leather for high levels of abrasion resistance, lightness, flexibility and breath-ability.
- High level race suit incorporating MotoGP-derived technologies.
- Designed with body mapped race fit and pre-curved sleeves for optimum riding performance.
- Premium full kangaroo leather construction for lightness, flexibility and optimum levels of protection.
- Highly durable, flexible kangaroo leather features anatomical panels for high levels of movement and a superior fit.
- Strategically positioned accordion stretch panel inserts have been designed to accommodate Alpinestars airbag system, allowing expansion when the airbag inflates but also offering a high level of anatomical performance and a superior fit when riding without the system fitted.
- Tech-Air compatible (sold separately); Tech-Air is the world's first completely electronic, self-contained, full independent upper body motorcycle airbag system with no bike-to-rider set-up configurations required.
- An LED display on the sleeve indicates the airbag's operational status, while an internal housing located in the CE Certified back protector accommodates the system vest's ECU.
- Patented leather bonded aramid grid reinforcements on the arm, back, seat, thigh and elbow areas to reduce heat transfer and prevent the skin from burning when sliding; this also gives more strength to the leather against tear and abrasion.
- New aramid reinforced stretch fabric panels on crotch, back of the leg and underarms to guarantee excellent levels of lightness, flexibility and breathability.
- Large perforated kangaroo leather panels are strategically placed to offer excellent levels of cooling airflow and comfort.
- Alpinestars CE-approved, race-derived protectors on the elbow, shoulder, knee and tibia.
- Alpinestars new exclusive GP Dynamic Friction Shield (DFS) on knee and further DFS protection on the elbow and shoulder.
- Innovative new RR elbow slider is anatomically contoured and features a removable screw-mounted insert slider.
- Chest pad compartment (designed to take the CE Certified Nucleon chest pads, sold separately).
- Comes fitted with the CE Certified Nucleon hip protector.
- Ergonomically designed AR (Abrasion Resistant) Shield reinforcement with aramid fiber and polyamide construction in the limb flexion zones to protect the exposed seams against abrasion.
- Removable inner stretch mesh liner with multi-panel construction and 3D back panel.
- Soft 3D textured fabric comfort collar construction.
- New GP aerodynamic back hump improves stability and airflow at speed. Ventilated and designed to incorporate a hydration pack (sold separately), it comes complete with an opening which can accommodate a hydration hose.
- Internal waterproof wallet pocket for peace-of-mind storage.
- Printed logos reduce weight and improve the flexibility of the leather, thus enhancing comfort and performance.
- Fully CE Certified riding garment to CE - Category II prEN17092 draft standards - AAA class.
