Kawasaki Ninja Test Race Mens Motorbike Racing Suit

The Kawasaki Ninja Test Race Mens Motorbike Racing Suit is finished in Kawasaki Ninja team colours.

This suit reproduces that design in full-grain cowhide, cut to your own measurements, with CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows, knees and back. It suits track days, circuit riding, fast road use and collectors who want the livery made properly rather than printed onto a thin shell.

Outer Shell

• Full-grain cowhide leather, 1.3–1.4 mm, for high abrasion resistance — kangaroo 0.8–0.9 mm available as an upgrade
• Kawasaki Ninja team colours reproduced in leather patchwork, cut and stitched from coloured hide so the design cannot crack, peel or fade like print
• Pre-curved sleeves and legs with race-fit ergonomic panelling for a natural riding position
• Triple safety stitching throughout with high-strength bonded nylon thread
• Original YKK zippers at the front, sleeve cuffs and ankles
• Kevlar stretch panels at the crotch, behind the calves and under the sleeves
• Accordion leather stretch across the lower back and above the knees for a forward racing crouch
• Reinforced leather at the shoulders, elbows, forearms, hips, knees and lower legs
• External CE certified protectors over the shoulders, elbows and knees
• Removable external knee sliders with hook-and-loop attachment

Inner Shell

• Removable CE Level 2 shoulder, elbow and knee armour certified to EN 1621-1:2012
• Dedicated back protector compartment with a removable CE Level 2 protector certified to EN 1621-2:2014
• Breathable 100% polyester mesh lining for airflow and moisture management
• Two internal pockets for phone, wallet and small essentials
• Fully safety stitched interior
• Removable internal lining available as an optional upgrade

Armour Specification

Armour is KeepTech, independently tested and certified by Ricotest, European Notified Body No. 0498, Pastrengo, Italy, under EU Regulation 2016/425 as Category II PPE, CE and UKCA marked. Level 2 transmits about 20 kN in the standard impact test against roughly 35 kN for Level 1.

Size and Fit

Cut to a close, performance-focused racing fit. Review the full size chart before selecting a standard size, or send your body measurements for the tailor-made option at no extra cost.

A new suit should feel firm standing upright and correct once you are sitting on the bike. Full-grain leather relaxes and moulds to you over the first few rides. Fit is a safety feature, not a preference: a loose suit lets armour migrate off the joint it protects during a crash. Riders wanting more room through the chest, waist or legs should choose a regular or relaxed fit rather than a race fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What armour does this suit use?
CE Level 2 at every position — back to EN 1621-2:2014, and shoulders, elbows and knees to EN 1621-1:2012 — tested and certified by Ricotest, European Notified Body No. 0498, Pastrengo, Italy.

Can you match my Kawasaki’s exact colour?
Yes. Send a photograph or the paint reference and the leather is dyed to match as closely as hide allows. Kawasaki shades in particular are hard to reproduce in generic coloured leather, which is why custom matching is offered.

Will the colours fade over time?
The design is cut from dyed hide rather than printed, so it does not fade the way surface print does. Leather will darken and develop character with use, which is normal and does not affect protection.

Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. Every suit is made to order and shipped worldwide.

Should I choose cowhide or kangaroo leather?
Kangaroo at 0.8–0.9 mm gives comparable abrasion resistance to cowhide at 1.3–1.4 mm for noticeably less weight, which is why most professional racers use it. Full-grain cowhide is harder wearing over many seasons and costs less.

Is this suit suitable for track days?
Yes. Most circuits require either a one piece leather suit or a two piece with a full 360-degree connecting zip, and both configurations are available here. Always check the technical regulations for your specific circuit before the day.

Are knee sliders included?
Yes. Removable external knee sliders with hook-and-loop attachment are fitted as standard, and they are designed to be consumed and replaced rather than to last the life of the suit.
