The 2019 World Superbike (WSBK) season ended with Jonathan Rea taking his fifth consecutive riders' title on the Kawasaki ZX-10RR, after Alvaro Bautista had won the opening 11 races for Ducati. The season is documented in the 2019 Superbike World Championship record, and it remains a reference point for fans of the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT).
Key Takeaways
- Rea won his fifth consecutive WSBK title in 2019 with Kawasaki Racing Team.
- The suit is a replica inspired by his 2019 Kawasaki race leathers, hand-stitched and made to order.
- Check leather, armour, sliders and fit on the product page, as these details differ between garments.
- EN 17092 garment classes run from AAA to A, with B and C below; the label on the item decides.
The is a replica inspired by the suit Rea wore that year, hand-stitched and made to order at Leather Collection, which has been making leather gear since 2009. It is aimed at riders who want the Kawasaki race look in a track-style suit. The product page should be checked for the armour fitted and for any EN 17092 class on the label; this article does not state a class for the replica.
What to Check on a Replica Race Suit
Race replicas share a common set of features, and these are the points worth comparing on any product page:
- Leather weight and panels: the product page states the leather and any stretch inserts used; these decide how the suit feels in a tuck.
- Armour and sliders: check which protectors are fitted or removable, and whether shoulder, elbow and knee sliders are included.
- Back hump and fit: a race hump and pre-curved cut suit a riding position; measure carefully, as the suit is made to order.
- Perforation and lining: ventilation and lining options matter on hot track days.
Protection Standards in Plain Terms
Protective motorcycle clothing in Europe falls under the personal protective equipment regulation, and the EN 17092 series sets garment requirements and classes, as described by test house SATRA. Garment classes run from AAA to A: elbow, shoulder, knee and hip impact protectors are mandatory in Classes AAA and AA, with hip protectors optional in Class A, while Class B gives the abrasion protection of Class A without impact protectors and Class C covers impact protection only. This article states no EN 17092 class for the replica, so the product page and the garment label are the references. The class of any replica depends on the individual product and its label, so check that information rather than assuming it from the livery.
The 2019 Kawasaki Look
Rea's 2019 machine carried Kawasaki's signature green with black. The replica reproduces that colour scheme and the team-style graphics through leather patchwork. More gear linked to the rider is listed under .

Final Thoughts
The Jonathan Rea Kawasaki WSBK 2019 race leathers recreate the look of a season that ended with a fifth straight title. As with any race suit, fit and the protection details on the label matter more than the livery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which season does this Jonathan Rea suit replicate?
It is a replica inspired by the Kawasaki Racing Team race leathers Rea used in the 2019 World Superbike season, the year he won his fifth consecutive riders' title on the Kawasaki ZX-10RR. Leather Collection makes the replica to order, so it is not a team-issued garment but a recreation of the look of that season.
What does the AAA class in EN 17092 mean?
EN 17092 is the European standard for protective motorcycle clothing. Class AAA is the highest of its garment classes, and Classes AAA and AA require elbow, shoulder, knee and hip impact protectors, as SATRA describes. A garment only carries a class if it was tested and labeled, so the label on the specific item is the reference.
Is the suit made to order?
Yes. Leather Collection hand-stitches its race suits to order, which is why accurate body measurements matter. The product page lists the sizing and options available for this replica, so check those and take careful chest, waist, hip, arm and leg measurements before ordering.
