The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR Men's Leather Motorcycle Racing Jacket is a race-cut leather riding jacket finished in white, Kawasaki blue and bright green, with the Ninja script across the chest, Kawasaki lettering on the collar and sleeves and a ZX-4RR belt at the back. It is built for sport and track riding on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR, ZX-6R, ZX-10R and Ninja 400, with armour at the shoulders, elbows and back.

Quick Specifications

Construction

• Full-grain cowhide leather, 1.3–1.4 mm — the dense outer layer of the hide that abrades slowly rather than tearing. Split, bonded and PU-coated leather is never used
• CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows, with a back protector pocket fitted with a CE Level 2 protector
• Hard shoulder and elbow sliders for sliding protection
• Ribbed leather panels across the upper back and elbows for flex
• Pre-curved sleeves cut for a riding position rather than a standing one
• Triple safety stitching on main seams with high-strength bonded nylon thread
• Stretch panels at the underarms for movement on the bars
• Adjustable waist belts with hook-and-loop closure to hold the jacket down on the bike
• Full interior lining with internal pockets
• YKK zippers throughout
• Colour blocks and logos produced as leather patchwork and applied lettering, not a printed shell
• Can be zipped to matching leather trousers where a two piece is specified

About the Ninja ZX-4RR Design

The jacket uses the white, blue and green colour scheme associated with Kawasaki Ninja sportbikes. The Ninja script sits across the white chest panel, Kawasaki lettering runs along the collar and down both sleeves, and ZX-4RR lettering is on the rear waist belt. A white River Mark style emblem is set into the blue back panel between ribbed shoulder panels and green side inserts.

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. The armour is independently CE certified; the leather shell is not certified as a garment.

Riders and Bikes

Designed for riders of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR, ZX-6R, ZX-10R, ZX-25R and Ninja 400, and for anyone who wants Kawasaki racing colours. Any jacket can be produced in a colourway matched to your bike or the rest of your gear. See more Kawasaki leather jackets and Ninja racing suits.

Size and Fit

Available in standard sizes XS through 3XL, or made to your own measurements at no change to production. An armoured jacket must fit closely so the protectors stay over the shoulder and elbow, since a loose jacket lets armour migrate off the joint during a crash. See the size guide.

Care Instructions

• Do not machine wash, tumble dry or bleach
• Dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and artificial heat
