Tom Sykes 2012 Kawasaki WSBK Race Suit
The earliest Sykes Kawasaki suit
This is the oldest design in the Tom Sykes range, based on the Kawasaki suit he wore in WSBK in 2012. It is our own design inspired by that 2012 Kawasaki suit and is not made or endorsed by the rider, the team or the manufacturer. If you want a later season, the 2013 black and red suit and the 2018 black and green suit cover other years.
Leather and movement
Drum-dyeing and milling make the cowhide soft. Accordion panels on the lower back and knees stretch as you move, stretch Cordura sits in the sleeves, crotch and calves, and the sleeves are pre-curved for the riding pose. Seams in key spots have two or three rows of stitches. On the inside, a mesh lining breathes on hot days and a mesh pocket sits on the left of the chest.
