Drive Your Dreams with Tom Sykes
Professional motorcycle racer Tom Sykes was born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, on August 19, 1985. He made his debut in the World Superbike Championship in 2008. Reunited with Paul Bird Motorsport for the 2022 season, Sykes rode a Ducati in British Superbikes and finished in 12th position.
After finishing fourth in the World Superbike Championship in 2018, Sykes departed the Kawasaki factory racing team and raced BMWs for Shaun Muir Racing in 2019. However, during the 2021 season, BMW Motorsport fired Sykes, citing Scott Redding's 2022 contract. He competes in global superbike races with a Kawasaki satellite team in 2023.
In addition, Tom Sykes is second behind Troy Corser in career race starts and has records for the most pole places in the World Superbike Championship. Early in 2022, the UK website Motorcycle News examined his World Superbike records and reported that out of 349 races, he had 34 victories, 114 podiums, and 51 pole positions.
Riding a Stobart Vent-Axia Honda, Tom Sykes secured his maiden ride in a British Superbike in 2007; in his debut season, he placed sixth overall. After this success, he signed a contract with the Rizla Suzuki team for the 2008 season. He continued to finish fourth in the championship and made appearances at Brands Hatch and Donington Park as a wildcard World Superbike rider. His strong performance at these events helped him secure a World Superbike ride at Yamaha Motor Italia for the 2009 season. He competed in the series in 2010 with a PBM Racing Kawasaki. 2013 saw him win his first SBK championship with Kawasaki.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which Tom Sykes 66 race replica jacket matches his championship-winning season?The 2013 Tom Sykes championship suit replicates his World Superbike Championship-winning Kawasaki race leathers, featuring his #66 livery and team colors. This iconic design captures the exact suit worn during his dominant season aboard the Kawasaki Racing Team ZX-10R. Our hand-stitched genuine leather replica uses premium cowhide with CE-rated armor positioned for track safety and abrasion resistance. Each suit is crafted with meticulous attention to screen-accurate detailing, including custom branding and rider name placement. We offer full made-to-measure sizing at
leathercollection.com/made-to-measure to ensure perfect fit for your body. Our
size chart guides accurate measurements for optimal comfort and performance during track days or collector display.
What is the difference between a Tom Sykes race replica suit and a standard riding jacket?A Tom Sykes race replica suit is engineered for track performance with integrated CE-rated armor, pre-curved sleeves, and reinforced seams designed to match professional racing specifications. Standard riding jackets prioritize casual comfort without full-body protection architecture. Our replica suits feature genuine full-grain kangaroo leather—lighter and more abrasion-resistant than cowhide—constructed with hand-stitched seams for durability under high-speed conditions. The race replica includes screen-accurate #66 branding, team colors, and sponsorship logos. Track-focused design positions armor at impact zones, while riding jackets distribute protection more loosely. Leather Collection custom manufactures each suit to your exact measurements via our
made-to-measure service, ensuring championship-grade fit and protection for serious track enthusiasts.
How do I measure myself correctly for a custom Tom Sykes 66 race replica suit?Accurate measurements ensure optimal fit for track performance and safety. Use our detailed
size chart to measure chest, waist, inseam, sleeve length, and shoulder width while wearing light clothing. Measure across your back shoulder blade to shoulder blade for proper armor positioning. Note your height and racing posture—whether you ride aggressively forward or upright affects sleeve and torso length. Our made-to-measure team at
leathercollection.com/made-to-measure accepts custom measurements and can adjust for specific riding preferences. Hand-stitched construction allows precision tailoring that mass-produced suits cannot match. We provide 24-hour support to clarify measurements before cutting your genuine leather. This personalized approach guarantees your Tom Sykes replica suit delivers championship-level comfort and protection on track.
Does the Tom Sykes 66 race replica suit include CE armor for track riding?Yes, our Tom Sykes 66 race replica suits are built with CE-certified armor positioned at shoulders, elbows, and spine—matching professional racing standards. The CE rating ensures crash protection meets European safety regulations for abrasion and impact resistance. Our genuine cowhide and kangaroo leather constructions withstand high-speed track conditions without tearing or slipping during slides. Hand-stitched seams reinforced at stress points provide superior durability compared to machine-stitched alternatives. Armor placement replicates championship-winning suit design, protecting critical impact zones while maintaining mobility for aggressive riding positions. Each custom suit incorporates your specified armor preference and fit requirements through our
made-to-measure service. We ship these performance-engineered replicas to 50+ countries, giving international track enthusiasts access to authentic Sykes-inspired race gear built for serious on-track safety and collector authenticity.
How should I care for and store my Tom Sykes 66 genuine leather race replica suit?Store your hand-stitched Tom Sykes suit on a padded hanger in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight and heat sources that crack full-grain leather. After track use, wipe scuffs with a soft cloth and apply leather conditioner monthly to maintain suppleness and abrasion resistance. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals—use genuine leather cleaner designed for motorcycle gear. Hang the suit to air-dry naturally; never use heat accelerators that damage the leather's protective properties. If armor needs repositioning, contact our 24-hour support team before attempting adjustments. Our made-to-measure construction uses premium cowhide and kangaroo leather that improves with proper care, developing a authentic patina over years of use. Regular conditioning extends the lifespan of your race replica, preserving its championship-grade construction and screen-accurate #66 branding for long-term enjoyment.
