Alpinestars Launches 2019 Spring Motorcycling CollectionAlpinestars 2019 Spring Motorcycling Collection blends class-leading protection, innovative materials and performance in its new range of state-of-the-art racing, road, urban and touring products which set new benchmarks for protective technology available to riders.

The additions to the Alpinestars line-up bolster the current comprehensive range of premium products for every riding environment and are the result of thousands of hours of exhaustive R&D testing and evaluation in the laboratory, on the road and on the racetrack in the most challenging of conditions in a never-ending quest to improve safety, performance, comfort and functionality. Featuring new construction methods, groundbreaking original design and the very best material technology, the highlights of the new collection are as follows:

For Spring, Alpinestars has widened the range of items which are Tech-Air® compatible, allowing even more riders to enjoy the most comprehensive upper body protection on the market. The Racing Absolute, GP Tech v3 and GP Pro v2 suits are all Tech-Air® compatible, as is the Stella Missile leather suit, Alpinestars first women’s airbag leather suit. The number of textile Tech-Air® compatible jackets has also been extended, and now includes the all-weather Tailwind Air Waterproof Jacket.
