Dani Pedrosa and Number 26
According to Motorcycle.com's retirement report, he was 125cc world champion in 2003, 250cc world champion in 2004 and 2005, and the only rider to win at least one Grand Prix in each of 16 consecutive seasons. He announced in July 2018 that he would retire at the end of that season.
The collection groups the gear inspired by his career. The black Honda Repsol jacket reflects the 2017 season, with clean race lines and a plain color scheme that also works away from the track.
Jacket Design and Everyday Use
As a replica, the jacket is aimed at both fans and riders. A race-style black leather jacket can also be worn as casual wear; for riding, check the product page for armor and a class label first. For other replica jackets, the range covers more riders and seasons, and the is the natural companion for Honda team colors from the same year.
What the Standards Say About Jackets
The MCG CE certification overview explains that EN 17092 defines five classes of motorcycle clothing. AAA, AA and A garments combine impact and abrasion protection, with AAA the most demanding; class B garments give abrasion protection equivalent to class A but include no impact protectors, and class C garments only hold impact protectors in place. Joint protectors fall under EN 1621-1, with Level 2 allowing lower transmitted force than Level 1.
A jacket sold as a replica should be judged on its own product page. If the intended use needs armor or a specific class, confirm it there. Riders looking for Honda styling for the street can also compare the .
Fit and Break-In
- The jacket should allow the arms to reach the bars without the back riding up.
- Shoulders and elbows should sit where armor would be placed if inserts are added.
- Leather softens with use, so a close fit at first usually becomes comfortable with wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Dani Pedrosa?
Dani Pedrosa is a Spanish rider who raced under number 26. He won the 125cc world title in 2003 and the 250cc title in 2004 and 2005, then rode for Repsol Honda in MotoGP until he retired at the end of the 2018 season. He never won the MotoGP championship but won races in 16 consecutive seasons.
Is this jacket issued by Honda or Pedrosa?
No. It is a replica inspired by Pedrosa's Repsol Honda look. Leather Collection makes it hand-stitched and made to order, and it should be treated as inspired gear rather than equipment issued or connected to the rider or the team.
What does EN 17092 mean for a motorcycle jacket?
EN 17092 is the European standard that classifies motorcycle clothing in classes AAA, AA, A, B and C. AAA, AA and A combine abrasion and impact protection, with AAA the most demanding; class B gives abrasion protection but includes no impact protectors, and class C only holds impact protectors in place. Check the product page for any class marking, since a replica style does not by itself imply a rating.
Can armor be added to a leather jacket?
Many leather jackets have pockets or fixings for armor, but this should be confirmed on the product page for the specific jacket. Joint protectors are tested under EN 1621-1 and rated Level 1 or Level 2, so look for that marking when buying inserts.
