Choosing a Motorcycle Race Suit
A race suit is your last line of defence in a high-side or low-side. One-piece suits seal the torso to the legs with a continuous zip and deliver the highest abrasion resistance, which is why most circuits mandate them above set speeds. Two-piece suits join at the waist with a 360-degree zip and suit riders who want road versatility plus track capability.
| Feature | One-Piece Suit | Two-Piece Suit |
|---|---|---|
| Abrasion standard | EN 17092 AAA | EN 17092 AAA to AA |
| Best use | Track and racing | Track plus road |
| Shoulder and elbow armour | CE Level 2 | CE Level 1 to Level 2 |
| Back protector | Pocket for CE Level 2 | Pocket for CE Level 2 |
| Connecting zip | Single full-length | 360-degree waist |
Materials and Armour
Premium cowhide leather between 1.2mm and 1.4mm thick gives the abrasion resistance that earns an EN 17092 AAA rating. Kevlar stretch panels at the crotch, knees and underarms add flex without thinning protection. Look for CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows and knees, which absorbs more impact energy than CE Level 1, and a back protector pocket sized for a CE Level 2 insert.
Fit and Sizing
A race suit should fit snug in the riding crouch, not standing upright. Shark Leathers custom suits are built to your measurements so armour stays seated over the joint at full lean. Aerodynamic speed humps, perforated leather and pre-curved arms reduce fatigue across 20-minute sessions and full race weekends.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a one-piece or two-piece race suit?
One-piece leather suits give the highest abrasion protection and are required at most circuits above set speeds, making them the choice for racing and dedicated track days. Two-piece suits zip together at the waist with a 360-degree zip and suit riders who want both track capability and road versatility.
What armour should a race suit have?
Look for CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows and knees, since Level 2 absorbs more impact energy than Level 1. The suit should also have a pocket sized for a CE Level 2 back protector, which most race suits sell separately so you can match it to your spine length.
How should a motorcycle race suit fit?
A race suit should fit snug in the riding crouch rather than standing upright, so the armour stays seated over each joint at full lean. Shark Leathers custom suits are cut to your own measurements, which keeps protection in place and reduces bunching across long track sessions.
