Unleash the Predator: A Deep Dive into the Savitar Pro Race Suit 2019

In the high-octane world of motorcycle racing, your gear is the only thing standing between peak performance and a life-altering incident. For the 2019 season, the  Savitar Pro for Isle of Man TT 2019 Race Suit emerged as a benchmark for riders who demand a "no-compromise" approach to track safety and aerodynamics. Named after the Hindu deity of the sun and motion, the Savitar Pro is designed to help riders shave seconds off their lap times while providing a literal second skin of protection.

Available at Leather Collection, this suit is engineered for the professional circuit but remains accessible for the dedicated track-day enthusiast.

Engineered for "Active-Response" Ergonomics

The Savitar Pro 2019 isn't just a protective garment; it is a piece of technical equipment. Modern sportbikes require extreme body movements—from deep hangs in the corners to full tucks on the straights. To facilitate this, the Savitar Pro utilizes an "Active-Response" design that mirrors the rider’s natural kinesiology.

Elite Material Composition

The foundation of the Savitar Pro lies in its selection of premium materials, chosen for their balance of weight and durability:

• Premium Cowhide Leather: Constructed from 1.2mm to 1.3mm top-grain leather, drum-dyed for long-lasting color and treated for maximum abrasion resistance.

• Schoeller-Keprotec® Stretch Zones: High-strength elastic panels are strategically integrated into the crotch, underarms, and behind the knees. This ensures the rider can move across the saddle without the leather bunching or resisting.

• Kevlar Reinforcements: Hidden within the suit are Kevlar-reinforced layers in high-friction zones to provide an extra barrier against heat transfer during a high-speed slide.

Advanced Safety: The Multi-Layered Defense System

While the aggressive "Savitar" styling looks menacing in the paddock, its primary focus is survival. The 2019 model features a multi-tiered safety architecture designed to dissipate energy from both direct impacts and friction.

Technical Protective Features

• CE-Level 2 Internal Armor: The suit comes equipped with removable, dual-density protectors at the shoulders, elbows, and knees. These are designed to absorb and distribute shock, minimizing the risk of bone fractures.

• External TPU Protectors: Hard-shell Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) sliders are mounted on the shoulders and elbows. These "low-friction" sliders allow the rider to glide over the asphalt, preventing the suit from catching and causing dangerous tumbling.

• Aerodynamic Speed Hump: This feature serves a dual purpose: it smooths the airflow over the rider's back for stability at 150+ mph and provides vital support to the neck and upper spine in the event of a crash.

• Safety Stitching: Every critical seam is triple-stitched with high-strength nylon thread, ensuring the suit maintains its structural integrity under extreme tension.

Thermal Management and Rider Comfort

Track riding is a physically exhausting endeavor that generates immense body heat. To prevent rider fatigue—which can lead to lapses in concentration—the Savitar Pro 2019 incorporates advanced cooling features.

Performance and Cooling Details

• Localized Perforations: Laser-cut perforated panels on the chest, arms, and thighs allow for maximum airflow without compromising the leather’s strength.

• 3D Mesh Lining: A 100% polyester mesh lining helps wick away sweat and creates a micro-climate between the skin and the leather, keeping the rider cool and dry.

• Accordion Stretch Panels: Located at the lower back and above the knees, these leather bellows allow the suit to expand and contract naturally as the rider shifts weight.

Final Thoughts

The Savitar Pro 1-Piece Race Suit 2019 is a masterclass in balance. It offers the aggressive aesthetics that track riders love, backed by the technical specifications required to compete at the highest levels. Whether you are hunting for a championship or simply looking to stay safe during a weekend track session, the Savitar Pro is built to perform.
