In the 2020 World Superbike (WSBK) season, the partnership between the seasoned Irishman Eugene Laverty and the BMW Motorrad factory team was one of the most anticipated storylines in the paddock. Laverty, known for his analytical approach and "smooth as silk" riding style, took to the BMW S 1000 RR with a mission to push the Bavarian machine to the front of the pack.
For the serious rider who values technical excellence and a professional aesthetic, the from Leather Collection offers a direct link to that season of world-class racing. This suit isn't just a replica; it is a high-performance protective garment designed to handle the rigors of the track.
Built for Maximum Protection and Performance
When you are wrestling a 200-horsepower superbike through tight chicanes, your gear is your most critical safety net. The Eugene Laverty 2020 suit is constructed with a "safety-first" philosophy, using materials that meet the highest standards of professional racing.
Premium Leather and Construction
The suit is crafted from 1.2mm to 1.3mm top-grain cowhide leather. This thickness is precisely chosen to provide a balance between extreme abrasion resistance and the flexibility required for rapid body movements.
Triple-Stitched Safety Seams: To ensure the suit remains intact during a high-speed slide, high-strength nylon thread and triple stitching are used on all critical impact zones.
CE-Approved Internal Armor: The suit features removable, dual-density protectors at the shoulders, elbows, and knees, providing a vital shield against impact energy.
External Protection: Carbon-inserted sliders on the shoulders and elbows offer a secondary layer of defense, allowing the rider to slide more smoothly and reducing the risk of the suit "grabbing" the tarmac.
Ergonomics Tailored for the "Riding Position"
Eugene Laverty is famous for his precise body positioning. To help you emulate that same control, this suit features an ergonomic design that minimizes rider fatigue.
Mobility and Aerodynamics
Schoeller-Keprotec® Stretch Panels: These high-tech stretch materials are integrated into the crotch, underarms, and calves, ensuring you have an unrestricted range of motion when transitioning from side to side.
Accordion Leather Bellows: Located at the lower back and knees, these expansion panels allow the suit to flex naturally as you move from a full tuck to a heavy braking position.
Aerodynamic Speed Hump: Designed to smooth out airflow over the rider's back, the hump also provides additional protection for the neck and spine at high speeds.
Comfort and Climate Management
Track days can be grueling, particularly when the temperature rises. The 2020 BMW suit is engineered to keep you focused by managing your internal microclimate.
Breathable Mesh Lining: The interior is lined with a 100% polyester mesh that facilitates airflow and helps wick away moisture.
Perforation Options: For those riding in warmer climates, the suit can be customized with perforated leather panels on the chest and thighs to maximize cooling.
Soft Neoprene Finishes: The collar and cuffs are finished with soft neoprene to prevent skin irritation during long riding sessions.
The Iconic BMW Motorrad Aesthetic
Visually, the suit is a masterpiece of the 2020 factory livery. Featuring the classic BMW Alpine White base with striking blue and red accents, it includes authentic sponsor logos and Laverty’s signature branding. The use of professional leather patchwork ensures that the colors remain vibrant and the logos stay secure, even after multiple track seasons.
Why Opt for a Custom-Made Suit?
One of the core benefits of ordering from Leather Collection is the facility. A racing suit provides the best protection when the armor sits exactly where it is supposed to. By choosing a custom-fit option, you ensure that the suit is perfectly contoured to your unique body shape, providing a "second skin" feel that standard sizing can't match.
Final Thoughts
The Eugene Laverty BMW Motorrad WSBK 2020 Suit represents a perfect fusion of Irish grit and German engineering. It is an ideal choice for riders who want to combine the heritage of a WSBK legend with the peace of mind that comes from top-tier protective gear.
