The 2020 World Superbike (WSBK) season was a landmark year for Ducati, marked by the arrival of the powerhouse rider Scott Redding. Bringing his aggressive "Bismark" style to the Aruba.it Racing team, Redding pushed the Panigale V4 R to its absolute limits. For motorcycle enthusiasts who live for the adrenaline of the track, the from Leather Collection offers a rare opportunity to wear the gear designed for one of the sport's most charismatic champions.
This blog explores why this suit is more than just a tribute—it is a high-performance tool engineered for safety, speed, and style.
Engineered for the Elite: Premium Construction
When you are leaning into a corner at high speeds, your gear is your primary line of defense. The Scott Redding replica suit is built with a focus on structural integrity and durability, utilizing materials that meet the rigorous demands of professional racing.
Top-Tier Leather Quality
The suit is crafted from 1.2mm to 1.3mm premium-grade cowhide leather. This thickness is meticulously chosen to provide maximum abrasion resistance without being so heavy that it hinders the rider’s stamina. For those seeking the ultimate in lightweight performance, a Kangaroo leather option is also available, offering even greater tensile strength and flexibility.
Advanced Safety Components
CE-Approved Internal Armor: The suit features removable, dual-density protectors at the shoulders, elbows, and knees, ensuring your vital joints are shielded against impact.
External Protection: Carbon-inserted sliders on the shoulders and elbows provide a secondary layer of defense, allowing the rider to slide safely in the event of a fall.
Safety Seams: Utilizing high-strength nylon thread and triple-stitching, the suit is designed to stay together under the most extreme friction.
Ergonomics and High-Speed Aerodynamics
A racing suit should feel like a second skin. The 2020 suit is designed with a pre-curved racing posture, meaning it is naturally shaped to fit a rider tucked behind the windscreen. This reduces the physical strain of fighting against the leather while in a full tuck.
Mobility and Flexibility
To ensure the rider can transition from side to side during rapid direction changes, the suit incorporates Schoeller-Keprotec® stretch material. These panels are strategically placed in the underarms, crotch, and back of the legs to provide an unrestricted range of motion. Additionally, accordion leather stretch panels at the lower back and knees ensure that the suit moves with you, not against you.
Interior Comfort and Thermal Management
Racing is a physical workout that generates significant body heat. To keep the rider focused, the interior of the suit is just as engineered as the exterior.
Stay Cool Under Pressure
Aerodynamic Speed Hump: While it aids in airflow over the back, it is also designed to provide neck and spine support.
Breathable Mesh Lining: A 100% polyester mesh lining helps wick away sweat and facilitates airflow within the suit.
Custom Perforation: For those riding in warmer climates, the suit offers optional perforated leather panels on the chest and thighs to maximize cooling.
The Iconic Aruba.it Ducati Aesthetic
Visually, this suit is a masterpiece of racing heritage. It features the bold Ducati red and black livery associated with the 2020 Aruba.it Racing team. Every sponsor logo, from the iconic Ducati shield to the "Redding 45" branding, is applied with professional-grade leather patchwork.
Customization: The Perfect Fit
One of the standout benefits of the Leather Collection is the Made-to-Measure service. No two riders have the same body shape, and a suit that fits perfectly is a suit that protects perfectly. You can customize everything from the sizing to the leather type, ensuring that when you hit the track, you look and feel like a factory rider.
Final Thoughts
The Scott Redding Ducati WSBK 2020 Suit is a fusion of Italian racing soul and modern safety technology. Whether you are a dedicated Ducati collector or a track day regular, this suit provides the confidence you need to shave seconds off your lap time while honoring a modern racing legend.
