Marco Bezzecchi VR46 Mooney 2022 MotoGP Leather Racing Suit

The Marco Bezzecchi VR46 Mooney 2022 MotoGP Leather Racing Suit is finished in the VR46 colours Marco Bezzecchi raced during the 2022 MotoGP season.

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
• VR46 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

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.

How tight should a leather race suit feel?
Firm and slightly restrictive when you stand upright, and correct as soon as you sit on the bike. The suit is cut for the riding position, not for standing. Leather then relaxes and moulds to you over the first few rides — a suit that feels roomy when new will be too large once broken in.

What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 armour?
The rating measures how much force passes through the protector in a controlled impact test. Level 2 transmits about 20 kN, Level 1 about 35 kN. Less transmitted force means less energy reaching bone and joint. Every protector in this suit is Level 2.

Can I get matching gloves and boots?
Yes. Any racing glove or racing boot can be produced in the same colourway as the suit, including team colours and rider numbers.

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.

Should I choose perforated leather?
Perforated leather ventilates far better in heat but slightly reduces abrasion resistance in the perforated panels. Partial perforation — vented chest and leg panels with solid leather over the impact zones — is the usual compromise for hot-weather riding.

Why leather patchwork instead of printed graphics?
Patchwork designs are cut and stitched from coloured hide, so the colour is the material itself. Printed graphics sit on the surface and crack along flex lines at the elbows and knees, then fade in sunlight. Patchwork costs more to produce and lasts the life of the suit.
