FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Ben Spies Yamaha WSBK suit is constructed from 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, a race-grade material selected for its greater abrasion resistance and durability during high-speed slides. Drum-dyed processing ensures colour penetration throughout the leather, while milling creates a smooth, uniform surface that resists tearing and puncturing. This thickness and process combination is standard for professional WSBK race suits and track-day replica gear. The cowhide leather is hand-stitched into the Ben Spies 2009 motorcycle racing suit using high-strength nylon thread with dual and triple stitching at critical impact zones, reinforcing shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips with additional leather overlays for maximum crash protection.
Made-to-measure Ben Spies suits ship in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. The process begins when you select Custom Size from the product options, complete checkout, and submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number. Standard sizes (EU 42–60 for Men; EU 38–50 for Women) ship faster: 10–15 working days from order confirmation. Both lead times reflect hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 — each suit is built individually to your specifications or size, never pulled from stock. Custom sizing ensures a race-fit that matches your exact proportions, critical for track performance and comfort during extended riding sessions. This answer applies to the Ben Spies 2009 motorcycle racing suit on this page.
The Ben Spies Yamaha WSBK suit features EN 1621-1:2012 CE Level 2 removable dual-density armour at the shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips, meeting European impact-protection standards for motorcycle racing. An EN 1621-2 compatible removable spine/back protector safeguards the vertebral column during crashes. External TPU-reinforced metal protectors at the shoulders and knees provide additional impact absorption and load distribution. TPU elbow sliders and replaceable TPU knee sliders reduce friction and wear during slides. All armour pieces are removable, allowing you to customise protection levels or swap components as they wear. This multi-layer protection approach — combining removable certified armour, external reinforcement, leather overlays, and foam padding — is standard for WSBK race replicas and track-day gear.
Yes, the Ben Spies Yamaha WSBK suit offers multiple customisation options. For the speed hump (aerodynamic back protection), you can select No Hump, Standard Hump, Ventilated Hump, or Hydro Hump depending on your track conditions and preference. Perforation options include No Perforation, Perforated Chest, Perforated Front, or Full Perforated to control ventilation and airflow during racing. These options are available in the product configuration at checkout. Additional add-ons include removable lining, thermal removable lining, and extra knee sliders for enhanced comfort and durability. You can also upgrade the leather from cowhide to Monaco or Kangaroo for custom orders, tailoring the suit to your exact race-day needs and climate conditions.
Yes, the Ben Spies Yamaha WSBK suit is available in both men's and women's sizes. Men's sizing ranges from EU 42–60 (US 32–50), while women's sizing ranges from EU 38–50 (US 6–18). Both size charts are available in the product options at checkout. Women's suits feature anatomical tailoring at the chest, waist, and hip to match female body proportions, while maintaining the same race-grade protection and cowhide leather construction as the men's suit. You can also select Custom Size for made-to-measure fitting, which is especially valuable if you fall between standard sizes or want a race-fit that matches your exact body measurements.
