Scott Redding joined WorldSBK for 2020 after winning the British Superbike Championship in 2019, and he took Ducati's Panigale V4 R to second place overall in his first season (Cycle News team report). The is a replica inspired by his Aruba.it Racing Ducati jacket, and this guide covers the season behind it and how to read a jacket's protection details.
Key Takeaways
- Redding moved from British Superbikes to WorldSBK in 2020 and finished second overall on 305 points.
- He raced with number 45 for Aruba.it Racing on the Ducati Panigale V4 R.
- EN 17092 classifies the garment, while EN 1621 covers impact protectors such as shoulder, elbow and back armour.
- A replica jacket is a styling reference and does not itself state a certification.
Redding's debut WorldSBK season
had raced in MotoGP from 2014 to 2018 before returning to British Superbikes, where he won the 2019 title. Ducati signed him as team-mate to Chaz Davies for 2020, and the Imola launch set the aim of bringing the title back to Bologna. The pandemic reduced the calendar to eight rounds, and Redding finished second on 305 points behind champion Jonathan Rea, ahead of Davies in third.
Ducati colours and related designs
The team kept its traditional Ducati red with black touches for 2020. Other designs in the range follow the same colour palette, and a road-oriented alternative is the . Riders who want the same cut in their own colours can compare , which are a separate product type.
Reading the protection details
EN 17092 classifies motorcycle clothing into Classes AAA, AA, A, B and C, with AAA the highest and typical of leather racing suits (MCG explanation of EN 17092 classes). Impact protectors are covered by EN 1621: part 1 for limb joints such as shoulders and elbows, part 2 for back protectors, each with Level 1 and Level 2 (Wikipedia: motorcycle armour). The label and product page show which of these apply; a replica's resemblance to a team jacket does not.
Road jacket or track jacket
A tight, race-style cut suits an aggressive tucked position, while a roomier cut is more comfortable for commuting and touring. Think about the typical ride before choosing: the riding position, whether a back protector will be worn, and the layers worn beneath the jacket all affect the right size.
Fit and care basics
Armour needs to sit over the joint, so the shoulder seam should align with the point of the shoulder and the elbow protector should sit at the elbow with arms bent. Follow the care label or the maker's instructions for storage and care; the right approach depends on the leather's finish and construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How did Scott Redding finish in 2020?
Redding finished second in his debut WorldSBK season on 305 points, behind Jonathan Rea on 360 and ahead of Aruba.it Racing team-mate Chaz Davies in third. He raced with number 45 on the Ducati Panigale V4 R, and the replica jacket is inspired by that team season.
Where had Redding raced before WorldSBK?
Redding raced in MotoGP from 2014 to 2018 and then moved to British Superbikes, where he won the championship in 2019. He joined Ducati's factory WorldSBK team for 2020, partnering Chaz Davies, in what was his first season in the series.
What does EN 1621 cover in a jacket?
EN 1621 covers impact protectors worn in motorcycle clothing. Part 1 applies to limb joints such as shoulders and elbows, and part 2 applies to back protectors. Both have Level 1 and Level 2, and Level 2 is the stricter benchmark for transmitted force. The level describes the protector alone, not the garment.
Is a Ducati replica jacket the same as team clothing?
No. A replica is inspired by the colours and design of a rider's jacket and is not an official team item. Protection, materials, armour and sizing should all be confirmed on the product page rather than assumed from the team styling, because a replica reproduces the look of a jacket rather than its test results.
