Suit Specifications & Construction Details

Outer Layer

• Ducati-branded race suit uses 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, the same thickness Bagnaia wore during the 2024 winter test.
• Accordion leather stretch panels at the lower back and knees improve flexibility and comfort during extended riding sessions.
• Cordura stretch panels placed at sleeves, crotch, and calf maximize mobility through tight corners and aggressive body positioning.
• External TPU-reinforced metal protectors on shoulders and knees absorb and distribute impact energy.
• TPU elbow sliders and replaceable TPU knee sliders attach via Velcro for easy swap-out during track days.
• Pre-curved sleeves maintain the natural riding position without forcing the arms into an unnatural angle.
• YKK semi-auto-lock zippers at front, cuff, and calf lock securely under load and release smoothly during pit stops.
• Velcro-reinforced straps at neck, cuff, and calf seal against wind and adjust for a personalized fit.
• Soft neoprene cuff and collar provide comfort against the skin and create an air-tight seal at the wrists and neck.
• Safety stitching with high-strength nylon thread reinforces all seams, especially at impact zones.

Inner Layer

• Polyester mesh lining breathes during intense track sessions and wicks moisture away from the skin.
• CE-approved removable dual-density armor at knees, shoulders, and elbows (EN 1621-1:2012) can be adjusted or removed based on riding style.
• Removable CE-approved dual-density spine protector (EN 1621-2 compatible) shields the back during crashes and can be customized for fit.
• Removable aerodynamic hump (optional) adds neck and spine protection without permanently altering the suit's profile.
• Left-side inner mesh chest pocket holds essentials during track days.
