As Furygan and racing heritage have gone hand in hand since 1969, the French motorcycle protection specialist proudly continues its support in 2024 of British talent across several two-wheel high-level competitions, including the British Superbike Championship (BSB) season starting on 20th April.
Furygan extends its sponsorship of seven racers from the United Kingdom, including six English riders and Isle of Man TT legend Michael Dunlop from Northern Ireland, who will all display the Furygan ‘panther’ on their leathers.
This weekend, the first round of the 2024 British Superbike Championship will take place at Circuito de Navarra, Spain. Max Cook, who had a strong debut season in 2023, is returning with the FS-3 Kawasaki team. Oliver Barr will make his debut in the BSB Supersport premier class on the Binch Racing Yamaha R6.
Two English riders competing in the FIM Junior GP World Championship, includes 17-year-old Eddie O’Shea, and 16-year-old Evan Belford – both competing with Honda.
In the Supersport World Championship (that takes place at almost every Superbike World Championship round), is 28-year-old rider, Tom Booth-Amos of PTR Triumph World Supersport. While 20-year-old Scott Ogden, is racing in the Moto3 World Championship for MLav Racing.
Michael Dunlop, from Northern Ireland, is well known for being an Isle of Man TT legend, with 25 wins to his name. Dunlop is also just one win short of matching his late uncle, Joey Dunlop who achieved 26, and two wins away from becoming the greatest Isle of Man TT racer in history – an accomplishment that appears in reach this year.
Outside the UK, accomplished French MotoGP racer, Johann Zarco, is one of the most notable Furygan sponsored riders.
In 2024, Zarco will look to achieve further success in his first season with CASTROL Honda LCR.

With the new 2024 MotoGP and WorldSBK seasons underway, and BSB racing not far away – now is the time to check racing wardrobes and update kit in preparation of upcoming track days.
All items were developed in Furygan’s racing department in Nîmes, France, with such riders as Johann Zarco (MotoGP) and Isle of Man TT legend Michael Dunlop providing the real-life testing knowledge needed to perfect the innovative technologies and kit for track use…
Overtake
The Overtake is the top-of-the-range suit that was developed over three years in conjunction with the same elements used to develop those worn by Furygan’s MotoGP and WorldSBK riders.
With an RRP of £129.99, the Styg15 Lady gloves come in sizes XS-XL and are available in: Black/Pink.
Racing Rain Suit
The Racing Rain Suit protects riders from wet weather and the cold, while maintaining the looks, comfort and safety requirements that are needed to perform on track – something that might be of use with the fickle English weather.
This oversuit complements racing suits by being tight fitting and superior thanks to its numerous stretch zones between the legs, above the knees and the seat for better fit and comfort. Most of all, it limits water infiltration without hindering your movements.
With an RRP of £169.99, the Racing Rain Suit comes in sizes S-M.
Tanker bag
Furygan’s Tanker bag is sturdy and organised for use on holiday – or for loading up the van to carry gear to track days.
The Tanker bag offers ease of use in a number of ways – the first being the spacious and adaptable main compartment that divides into two for better organisation. To keep documents easily accessible when travelling, there are two travel pockets for your convenience. Carrying is made easy with five handles – including a lightweight, retractable, aluminium handle to pull the Tanker bag. Additional comfort is supplied by silent rolling rubber wheels.
With an RRP of £249.99, the Tanker bag comes in a single size, a capacity of 133/166 litres and dimensions in centimetres measuring: L40xW83xH40 (50 with the additional gusset).
Knee Sliders
Often the performance is in the details – which is why Furygan’s Knee Sliders were developed for racers and casual riders alike.
Giving knees additional protection when on track and helping to improve cornering skills, these polyurethane knee sliders are attractive and eye-catching – with the iconic Furygan ‘panther’ logo graphic available in red, white or black. The material underpinning the slider features the Furygan writing in white on a black background.
With an RRP of £44.99, the Knee Sliders come in a single size and are available in three colourways: Black/Red, Black/White and Black/Black.
D3O® Race L2 Elbows
New for this year and developed in conjunction with D3O®, the Race L2 Elbows are RACE range protectors for the most intensive use and tested by riders in all championships. More enveloping, more breathable and more protective for track use.
The Furygan and D3O® partnership offers a wide range of certified level 1 and 2 protections. These include protectors for the elbows, shoulders, back, metacarpals, malleolus, hips and knees. D3O® offers the world’s most advanced impact protection, soft and flexible material for unmatched comfort – plus flexibility and ergonomics whether on or off-road.
With an RRP of £24.99, the D3O® Race L2 Elbows are available in a single size as a pair.
