Alpinestars Racing Absolute v2 Leather Suit

A key material technology advancement found in the Racing Absolute v2 is the use of Alpinestars Composite Stretch technology, or A-CS®Tech for short. A-CS®Tech is found all throughout the suit’s, side torso, shoulder blades, and upper knee areas. Replacing the leather accordion panels that precede it in those areas, A-CS® Tech material provides not only increased breathability, comfort, and freedom of movement, but also offers a lower weight and a lower profile than accordion leather (about 9% lighter weight panels). Leather accordion panels are still present in the lower back and main flexion zones. Additionally, the A-CS® technology features a good level of stretchability of about 30% elongation, where tear resistance has increased by 288% compared to HRSF, or Hyper Resistant Stretch Fiber, and where cut resistance has increased by 600% versus leather, all while having highly comparable performance to kangaroo leather, and even higher impact abrasion test results. The use of A-CS® Tech, signifies a noteworthy advancement and improvement in protective performance materials.

The Racing Absolute incorporates Matryx® material on the lower leg for even further weight reduction and breathability. Replacing the HRSF in the inner arms, crotch, back of the legs, collar and pectoral areas are Kevlar®-reinforced stretch panels, providing high elasticity for freedom of movement, and increased protection. The Racing Absolute V2’s construction has schoeller®-keprotec seam reinforcements at the elbows and knees, GP DFS external sliders on the shoulders, knees, and elbows, all-new race-grade GP-R PRO forearm and knee armor, and Nucleon Race shoulder armor – all adding up to and setting a new Alpinestars Professional Racing standard. To provide complete upper body and hip protection, the Racing Absolute v2 offers direct internal integration of the optional Tech-Air® 10 Airbag System within the suit’s detachable Polygeine treated inner comfort liner for the ultimate in rider protection.
