The Marc Marquez Honda MotoGP 2017 Black Leather Suit - A Must-Have for Motorcycle Enthusiasts

The Marc Marquez Honda MotoGP 2017 black leather suit is a replica-style race suit inspired by the Repsol Honda look from the season in which Marquez won his fourth MotoGP title. This guide covers the rider’s 2017 season, what the product listing says about the suit and what to check before ordering a replica race suit such as the Marquez 93 Honda Repsol Black Suit 2017 .

Marc Marquez in 2017

Marquez rode for the Repsol Honda Team in 2017 and clinched the title at the final round in Valencia on 12 November 2017 by finishing third. According to Wikipedia, he scored 298 points with six race wins, and the title was his sixth overall and fourth in MotoGP. The suit is a tribute to that season, built around his number 93 and the Repsol Honda identity, in black.

Materials and Protection

The product listing describes the suit as follows. These details come from the listing and can change between versions, so check the current page before ordering.

• Leather: 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide.
• Protectors: the listing describes CE Level 2 internal armour (EN 1621-1:2012) at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, plus a removable spine protector it calls EN 1621-2 compatible. The same page also lists CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012) among its add-on options and does not explain the difference, so the armour level should be confirmed on the order form.
• Sliders: TPU elbow sliders and replaceable TPU knee sliders are listed.

EN 1621-1 is the standard for limb joint protectors such as those at the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. The listing describes the armour; check the marking on the protectors you receive. A protector only helps if it sits over the joint, which is why fit matters as much as the armour itself.

Comfort and Movement

Race suits are cut for a riding position, so comfort is mostly a matter of cut and lining. The listing describes polyester mesh lining for breathability, accordion stretch panels at the lower back and knees, stretchable Cordura in the sleeves and crotch, and pre-curved sleeves that follow a tucked riding posture. A suit that feels tight standing up can feel correct on the bike, but it should not pinch or restrict breathing.

Style and Design

The black base gives the suit a restrained look compared with brightly coloured race leathers, while the number 93 and the Repsol Honda graphics carry the racing reference. It works as a replica for fans and as a track-day suit for riders who want a Honda-themed design.

What to Check Before Ordering

• Measurements: Use the size guide and measure the chest, waist, hips, inseam and arm length, as race suits are cut close.
• Protector fit: Armour should sit on the shoulders, elbows and knees while the suit is in a riding crouch.
• Use: Decide whether the suit is for track days, road riding or display, and compare the listing details against that use.
• Matching gear: Complete the look with the Marquez 2017 Repsol Honda jacket , and add Marquez MotoGP boots for the full outfit.

Who the Suit Suits

The suit suits fans of Marquez and Repsol Honda who want a replica-style design with a proper riding cut. It is less suited to riders who want a loose, casual jacket, because a one-piece race suit is cut close for the riding position.
