He was the 2019 Moto2 champion and replaced Jorge Lorenzo in the factory line-up. The is a replica inspired by the suit he wore in that rookie season. This guide covers the season, the construction listed on the product page, and what the safety standards mean.
Key Takeaways

- In EN 1621-1, Level 2 armor must keep the mean transmitted force below 20 kN in the standard test, against a mean below 35 kN for Level 1.
- The suit is made to order and hand-stitched; the order form lists one-piece, two-piece, jacket-only and pant-only versions.
Alex Marquez at Repsol Honda in 2020
Marquez moved from Moto2 to the Honda RC213V, a bike described as difficult to ride, at a time when his brother Marc missed almost the entire season through injury. Alex finished second at Le Mans and second at Aragon, his two podiums of the year. His race number is 73. Riders who follow his career can browse the 2020 suit and related gear, or compare other .
Materials and Construction
According to the product page, the suit is built from drum-dyed cowhide 1.2 to 1.3 mm thick. Monaco and kangaroo leather are listed as paid upgrades. The listed construction features are:
- Stretch zones: accordion stretch panels and Cordura reinforcement in high-mobility areas.
- Lining: a polyester mesh interior for breathability.
- Zippers: YKK semi-auto-lock zippers at the front, cuffs and calves.
- Fit: pre-curved sleeves shaped for the riding position.
Protection and What the Standards Mean
The product page lists removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips (some sections list only the first three), described by the seller as Level 2 per EN 1621-1:2012, but the order form lists CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012) as an add-on, so the page does not make clear what the base suit includes. The page also lists a removable spine protector described as EN 1621-2 compatible and TPU-reinforced metal protectors at the shoulders and knees. According to Wikipedia, EN 1621-1 limb protectors reach Level 1 when the mean transmitted force stays below 35 kN and Level 2 when it stays below 20 kN, so a lower figure means less force passes through the protector.
Armor is only one part of the system. SATRA reports that EN 17092 assesses motorcycle clothing for abrasion on a Darmstadt machine, as well as tear and seam strength, and that Class AAA is the highest class and covers garments such as one- and two-piece suits. The product page does not state an EN 17092 class for this suit, so riders needing a certified suit for a track organizer should confirm the documentation with the seller.
Fit, Options and Ergonomics
A race suit performs as intended when the armor sits over the joints, so the Custom Size option matters; measurements are submitted after ordering. The suit is hand-stitched and made to order. The order form lists none, standard, ventilated and hydro speed humps and several perforation patterns, with some choices as add-ons. Pre-curved sleeves and stretch panels are aimed at reducing bunching in the riding tuck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the suit Alex Marquez wore in 2020?
No. It is a replica inspired by the Repsol Honda livery that Alex Marquez used in 2020. It is not equipment supplied by the rider, Honda or Repsol, and the colors follow the season while the construction follows the details on the product page.
What do EN 1621-1 Level 1 and Level 2 mean?
EN 1621-1 covers limb joint protectors such as shoulder, elbow, knee and hip armor. In the standard impact test, a Level 1 protector must transmit an average force below 35 kN and a Level 2 protector below 20 kN, so Level 2 allows less force through to the rider.
What leather does the suit use?
The product page lists drum-dyed cowhide 1.2 to 1.3 mm thick as the main material, with Monaco and kangaroo leather as paid upgrades. Accordion stretch panels and Cordura reinforcement are used where the rider needs more movement.
Can the suit be ordered in separate parts?
Yes. According to the product page, the suit is available as a one-piece, two-piece, jacket-only or pant-only version, with the two-piece as a selectable add-on. It is hand-stitched and made to order, with speed hump styles and perforation choices on the order form.
