The new racing suit BMW Motorrad ProRace it is designed to ensure high protection and wearability during track activity, according to the indications reported by the Bavarian brand.

The characteristics of the suit

Made of nappa leather, the suit ProRace appears snug and functional, considering the different protectors tied to the elbows, hips and shoulders, as well as replaceable knee sliders with sturdy plastic closures Velcro. We also point out three alternatives for back protection, first and foremost a NP Pro back protector immersed in a protective case behind the suit, therefore protections strap on, vest for back protector and back protector, always considering the instructions provided.
Moving on to comfort, there are various elastic inserts that follow the rider's movements, as well as adequate ventilation is guaranteed through the perforated leather sections located at the height of the arms, torso and thighs, as well as a aerodynamic rear hump and 3D spacer fabric located in the rear part.
The use of kangaroo leather is optional, as indicated even more resistant and less heavy than nappa. Using an online configurator it is possible to customize the made-to-measure suit and, again among the options, equip it with team logos, names or nicknames, together with other writings such as BMW Motorrad accompanied by RR, S 1000 XR, BMW M. or others, making the garment distinguishable even from a strictly aesthetic point of view, for example while riding a powerful BMW S1000RR.
The options include possible perforations, based on the rider's needs, then additional external or thigh and rib protection by choosing two different types of protectors via the configurator: standard padding or Vibram VPOD thermal padding. Staying on the protections, a further solution can be integrated into the suit and intended for the chest and the hump enriched with a TrinkPak, always taking inspiration from the pilot's preferences.
The configurator allows you to order the garment through dealers BMW or via network by consulting a licensed provider BMW Motorrad. The standard version in white, black and red varies by size 46 to the 60, finishing everything by also always wearing gloves and boots ProRace.
