Kenny Roberts Sr. 1979 Yamaha Race Suit
Leather and finish
Drum dyeing carries the red through the hide instead of leaving it on the surface, and milling softens the cowhide so it moves more easily in a riding tuck. Cowhide is standard. If you want a different feel, Monaco leather and kangaroo leather are available as paid upgrades.
Protection and fit details
Removable CE armour sits at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, with a back pocket in the spine panel for an optional EN 1621-2 back protector. Replaceable TPU knee sliders attach with Velcro, and TPU is a tough, bendy plastic. Stretch panels and pre-curved sleeves keep the suit comfortable on the bike.
