FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Kenny Roberts Yamaha suit is constructed from 1.2–1.3 mm cowhide leather, drum-dyed and milled for greater abrasion resistance and race-grade durability. Cowhide is the industry standard for MotoGP replica suits because of its tensile strength and proven track performance. The leather thickness and finish match the protection standards required for high-speed racing. You can also upgrade to Monaco or kangaroo leather if you prefer lighter weight or enhanced grip properties — kangaroo leather is popular among track riders for its greater strength-to-weight ratio and is available as a custom option during checkout.

The Kenny Roberts Yamaha MotoGP racing suit includes EN 1621-1:2012 certified removable dual-density armour at the shoulders, elbows, and knees — these are the primary impact zones during a track slide. The suit is also compatible with an EN 1621-2 removable spine protector for back protection. All armour is removable, so you can adjust protection based on your riding style or track conditions. External TPU knee sliders are included and replaceable, allowing you to refresh protection after wear. The combination of certified internal armour and external reinforcement layers makes this suit suitable for serious track riding and racing environments.
Yes — the Kenny Roberts suit offers full customization on both speed hump and perforation. For the speed hump, choose from No Hump, Standard Hump, Ventilated Hump, or Hydro Hump depending on your back protection preference and riding style. For perforation, select No Perforation, Perforated Chest, Perforated Front, or Full Perforated to control ventilation — sealed construction is better for cooler weather or high-speed racing, while full perforation improves airflow on hot track days. You can also add removable thermal lining or extra knee sliders as seasonal add-ons. All options are selectable during the customization process at checkout.
