Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
The Alpinestars GP-R7 one-piece leather suit looks absolutely killer in the flesh — proper race-bred styling with that aggressive hump and tight lines that scream track weapon. Build quality is top tier too, using thick 1.3mm race-grade leather with reinforced panels, so it feels seriously premium and built to take a beating. (Alpinestars SpA)
Safety-wise, it’s stacked. You’ve got CE Level 2 armour in the shoulders, elbows, knees and shins, plus it’s AAA-rated and Tech-Air ready, so protection is about as good as it gets without going full custom race suit. (Alpinestars SpA) The armour is soft but solid, giving you confidence without feeling bulky.
Fit is proper race spec — pre-curved, tight, and designed for being tucked on the bike. It’s not forgiving at all, so if you’re not in decent shape, it’s going to feel restrictive and uncomfortable off the bike. That’s just the nature of a true race suit.
For the money, it’s seriously good value. You’re getting near pro-level protection, quality materials, and track-ready performance without paying top-tier race suit prices.
Bottom line: looks savage, feels high-end, and delivers serious protection — just make sure you fit the part as well as the suit does.
Very good fit for an off the peg suit, and offers great comfort both on and off the bike, which is usually a compromise when wearing a 1 piece race suit. Made with very high quality leather, and top spec safety features, more so when used with the 7X airbag that the suit is made for. Styling is on point too.
Great set of leathers, haven't been down the road in them yet so cant say if they saved me from skinning myself yet or not, but they look smart and the colour is lovely. Only downside is they don't have any pockets and don't come with any back protection
I have been wearing alpinestars for a long time, this new suit is very well made and for me at 6 feet and 91 kg it is the closest I can get to a good fit, having a muscular build I am currently getting a little bit taken out of the waist but the rest of the suit fits perfectly.
Great suits, and a good service from Sportsbikeshop as usual
The suit is top quality and the fit is spot on. The only niggle is that Alpinestars state that the suit accommodates a back protector insert but this is not the case, there is no pocket for an insert.
The stars at Alpinestars rarely disappoint but this suit is awesome. All the usual first class protection with added grips on bottom half for gripping the bike. The suspenders are a great addition that I have been missing for years. Tech air ready too. Thank you very much.
