Marc Marquez won the 2025 MotoGP title riding for the Ducati Lenovo Team. The is a replica inspired by that suit. This guide explains how MotoGP-style race suits are built, what protection standards apply and what to check in a replica.
Key Takeaways
- Marc Marquez clinched the 2025 MotoGP title for the Ducati Lenovo Team at Motegi on 28 September 2025.
- Race suits are commonly made from cowhide or kangaroo leather, and kangaroo is valued because it stays strong when cut thin.
- EN 17092 sorts motorcycle garments into classes AAA to C, and AAA is the highest of them.
- A replica is inspired by the original and is not the suit worn by the rider.
The 2025 Season and the Suit
Marquez secured the 2025 world championship with a second place at Motegi, his seventh MotoGP title, according to MotoGP.com. Race suits in the series carry team and sponsor graphics, and replicas follow the same layout in colour and design. A replica is inspired by the original and is made independently, so its materials and fittings are those of the maker, not of the rider's suit.
What Race Suits Are Made Of
Cowhide is the usual choice for race leathers because it is thick, firm and resists abrasion. Kangaroo leather is the lighter alternative: it can be cut very thin and still retain strength, which is why it is popular for motorcycle leathers. The choice affects weight and flexibility, so check which hide a replica uses before ordering.
Protection Standards and Armour
Motorcycle protective clothing is tested under EN 17092, which divides garments into classes AAA, AA, A, B and C. Classes AAA and AA require shoulder, elbow, knee and hip protectors, and hips are optional in class A; protectors must be positioned over the relevant body part (see SATRA). Class AAA is the highest of the five classes. A replica listing should state which protectors are fitted and whether the suit carries a rating, so confirm this on the product page before riding in it.
Cut, Fit and Customization
A race suit is cut for the riding position, with the sleeves and legs shaped for a tucked posture, so it can feel stiff when standing. Replicas can be ordered to measurements, with colours, sponsor graphics and numbers specified. A suit that is too loose can move out of position in a fall, so take accurate measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Marc Marquez Ducati suit the one he races in?
No. A replica is an independent product inspired by the suit that Marquez wore in 2025. Materials, armour and construction are decided by the maker of the replica and may differ from the rider's own race suit, so check the product page for the actual specification.
What does EN 17092 Class AAA mean?
It is the highest of the five classes in the standard for motorcycle protective garments. Class AAA and AA garments require shoulder, elbow, knee and hip protectors. A garment is only rated if it has been tested to the standard.
Why do race suits use kangaroo leather?
Kangaroo leather can be cut thinner than cowhide, which can reduce weight; abrasion performance depends on the specific garment and its tested class. Cowhide remains the more common material, and the right choice depends on weight, budget and how the suit is used.
Can a replica race suit be used on the track?
Only if it meets the rules of the organizer and carries the necessary protection. Track-day organizers set their own requirements; confirm them directly, and check the replica maker's listing for the armour fitted, before riding.
