Rev’It! Hyperspeed

Rev’It! has launched a new Hyperspeed 2 range of clothing which, it says, takes the firm’s racing DNA and uses it to inspire urban riders, although it obviously doesn’t mean commuters and delivery riders going by the fact that the first item in the collection is a one-piece MotoGP inspired suit. The suit combines perforated leather with strategically placed stretch panels and includes integrated Betatec protectors, a drink reservoir pocket in the speed hump and provision for a Tech-Air airbag.

More suitable attire for the city-based enthusiast is found in the three jackets in the Hyperspeed 2 range – the Pro, Air and GT Air. The Pro is a leather jacket which Rev’It! bills as “a waist-length alternative to one-piece racing suits”. As such, it features elbow sliders, a speed hump with drink reservoir pocket, CE level 2 protectors at the elbows and shoulders, and optional Seesoft back and chest protectors. It is also compatible with the Tech-Air airbag system. It comes in black/grey, black/red or black/blue in sizes 46-56 for an SRP of £559.99.

The Air is another racy-styled jacket, but it takes ventilation to a higher level, with numerous perforated leather panels and 3D mesh. In case it gets chilly there is a detachable windproof gilet. It uses the same Seesoft protectors as the Pro but can’t take the airbag. It comes in black/red, black/anthracite or black/white for an SRP of £529.99.

The GT Air is also a highly-ventilated sports-style jacket, but made from lightweight polyester mesh fabric with triple-layer abrasion resistant softshell fabric on the shoulders and arms. It has Seesmart CE level 1 armour fitted at the shoulders and elbows, and can take an optional back protector. Reflective logos add extra visibility and there are multiple adjustment points to improve fit. It comes in black with a choice of yellow, red, white or blue stripes for an SRP of £189.99.
