How to choose motorcycle racing clothing and equipment?

On the track, the most important consideration is to protect yourself and stay comfortable, so you don't have to think about anything except racing.

Racing instructors advise all riders on which gear to buy and how to choose clothing and gear. Here's a general guide to buying your racing gear.

Safety is your top priority

Whatever clothing or equipment you purchase, always put protection and safety first.

Always purchase EN-approved clothing and equipment. EN-approved gear has three safety classes: A, AA, and AAA. Make sure it includes removable armor for added protection at the elbows, shoulders, back, hips, and knees. Choose CE Level 2 or 3 armor for maximum protection.

Motorcycle clothing and gear marked with EN approval and AAA safety ratings are considered the safest.

Choose your equipment material carefully

The material used in motorcycle gear determines its safety and comfort. Among leather, cowhide, kangaroo, and buffalo hides, these are considered the strongest and best for abrasion resistance.

Abrasion- and tear-resistant synthetic materials for motorcycle clothing include Kevlar, Dyneema, Aramid, and Cordura.

Carefully examine the material and fabrics used in the gear before making a decision.

Take your comfort very seriously

A distracted mind can't achieve great results. The same goes for motorcycle racing.

Try on your motorcycle gear in the riding position before purchasing. Check whether the clothing or gear offers good ventilation and freedom of movement. Consider how difficult it will be to put on the clothing or gear.

When it comes to helmets, make sure there are no pressure points on your head. Likewise, motorcycle boots should fit well. While full-face helmets are the first choice for racing, modular helmets can also be used for light racing, such as Supercross.

Choose the right fit, that is, a snug fit. The gear should be neither too tight nor too loose.

Shop by running style

The gear you need for track racing will be different than what you need for motocross, supercross, or rally racing.

Ask instructors or other experts for advice on what gear to purchase for your motorcycle racing needs.
