Absolute V2 Racing Leather Suit - 1 Piece
The Racing Absolute v2 is a professional-level racing suit incorporating all the lightest and most advanced materials and technologies worn by the fastest MotoGP and WorldSBK riders on the track. In addition to its full kangaroo leather construction, with double layers of kangaroo leather in all high-abrasion areas such as the elbows, forearms, seat, hips, and back, the Racing Absolute v2 also features Kevlar®-reinforced stretch inserts in the crotch, inner arms, and underarms. The bonded Kevlar® mesh provides increased resistance to cuts, tears, and abrasion, as well as significantly reducing heat transfer to the rider's body caused by friction during a slide on the asphalt. Another key technological advancement in materials found in the Racing Absolute v2 is the use of Alpinestars Composite Stretch Technology, A-CS®Tech. Incorporated throughout the suit, A-CS®Tech is located on the lateral torso, shoulder blades, and upper knee areas, replacing the original leather accordion panels. The A-CS®Tech material offers enhanced breathability, comfort, and freedom of movement, and features a lower weight and profile than accordion leather (A-CS®Tech panels are approximately 9% lighter than leather panels). Additionally, the suit incorporates leather accordion panels in the lower back and key flex zones. Offering a good level of elasticity, A-CS®Tech has approximately 30% elongation and provides a 248% increase in tear resistance compared to standard racing stretch fiber and a 570% increase in tear resistance compared to leather. The technologically advanced Racing Absolute v2 suit offers performance comparable to kangaroo leather, with even higher impact abrasion test results. The use of A-CS®Tech signifies a significant advancement and improvement in protective performance materials. The Racing Absolute v2 also incorporates Matryx® material on the lower leg for even greater weight reduction and breathability. Present in the inner arms, crotch, back of the legs, collar, and chest areas, the suit features Kevlar®-reinforced stretch panels that provide high elasticity for freedom of movement and increased protection. The Racing Absolute v2 construction includes schoeller®-keprotec seam reinforcements at the elbows and knees, external GP DFS sliders on the shoulders, knees, and elbows, and all-new GP-R PRO racing armor.
