Alpinestars has completed a collaborative project with Aprilia to produce a collection featuring design cues from the Italian manufacturer’s sporting machinery.
The Speed Blast Air Tex Jacket features poly-fabric construction for high levels of tear and abrasion resistance, with extensive vents and large mesh panels on the chest, back and arms for ventilation. Low-profile Nucleon Flex Plus armour is fitted at the shoulders and elbows. SRP is €229.
For urban riding and commuting there’s the €229 SRP lightweight Next Rival Tech sweatshirt. It has aramidic reinforcements on the shoulders, elbows and back excellent for abrasion resistance and Nucleon Flex Plus protectors on the shoulders and elbows for impact protection. This can be paired with Burnout jeans, which are constructed from abrasion-resistant denim with external aramid fibre panels. Again, Nucleon Flex Plus armour is fitted, this time at the knees. SRP is €235
Lastly come the striking Rapid Dash Air gloves, which feature rigid knuckle protection, synthetic suede palms and touchscreen-compatible fingertips. SRP is €59.
