The is a two-piece race-style leather suit for riders who like the Italian marque's racing look. This guide sets out what the product listing describes for materials, construction and protection, and how the EN 1621 and EN 17092 standards should be read when comparing suits.
Key Takeaways
- The listing describes 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide with dual and triple stitching at critical seams.
- Removable dual-density armor is specified to EN 1621-1:2012, with a spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2.
- One-piece and two-piece configurations, perforation levels and leather upgrades can be chosen.
- Protector standards describe laboratory performance, and EN 17092 classes the whole garment from AAA to C.
- A snug race fit and correct protector placement matter as much as the specification list.
Materials and Construction
The listing describes the suit in 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, a thickness range common for racing leathers. Drum dyeing colors the hide in a rotating drum, which gives an even finish across the panels. Seams are dual and triple stitched at the shoulders, armholes, crotch and inseam, the places where a suit is loaded most when the rider moves on the bike.
Configurations
The suit is offered as a one-piece or two-piece set; on the two-piece version, silver snap buttons connect jacket and pants. For riders deciding between the formats, the collection shows the other designs available in that layout.
Protection and Standards
The listing states removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips specified to EN 1621-1:2012, plus a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2. Both standards define Level 1 and Level 2 by transmitted force in a laboratory impact test, and Level 2 allows less (Wikipedia: motorcycle armor).
Whole-garment protection is covered by the EN 17092 series, which SATRA describes with classes A, AA and AAA, each requiring impact protectors, plus lower classes B and C (SATRA). The listing names protectors, not a garment class, so a rider who needs a particular class should ask before ordering. Related designs are listed in the collection.
Comfort, Ventilation and Fit
- Lining: polyester mesh, with an optional thermal removable lining.
- Perforation: none, chest, front or full, depending on the climate.
- Leather upgrades: Monaco or kangaroo leather instead of the standard cowhide.
- Sizing: made-to-measure sizing is available.
The documented livery for the 2017 version is black or red. A race-cut suit should feel snug when standing, because the cut is built for the tucked riding position. Riders comparing Italian suits can look at the or browse .
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MV Agusta suit available in one piece or two?
The listing offers both a one-piece and a two-piece suit. On the two-piece version, silver snap buttons connect the jacket and pants, so the pieces can be worn together for track sessions or separately for lighter use.
What armor is included with the suit?
The listing describes removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips specified to EN 1621-1:2012, plus a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2. Armor only performs as intended when it sits over the joint, so check placement after fitting, and ask for the test certificate before relying on the armor.
What does EN 17092 AAA or AA mean?
EN 17092 is the European standard series for motorcycle riding garments, with classes AAA, AA, A, B and C. SATRA describes classes A, AA and AAA as requiring impact protectors, with B and C as lower classes. The listing does not state a class.
Can the leather and ventilation be changed?
Yes. The listing shows perforation choices from none to full perforation and leather upgrades to Monaco or kangaroo leather. A thermal removable lining is offered as well, so the suit can be set up for the riding conditions.
