Ride Like a Champion: Racing Suit Black Andrea Dovizioso Ducati MotoGP 2018

The Andrea Dovizioso Ducati MotoGP 2018 Leather Suit Black is a replica race suit inspired by Andrea Dovizioso's 2018 MotoGP season with Ducati, offered in a black-and-white colorway. Dovizioso ended 2018 as championship runner-up behind Marc Marquez, and the suit is made for track days and sport riding.

Season Background

Dovizioso finished second in both 2017 and 2018, winning four races in 2018 according to the Cycle News season review. The suit follows the black-and-white 2018 design listed on the product page and is a replica inspired by his gear, with no link to Ducati or the rider.

Leather, Armor and Stitching

The shell is 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide, with upgrade options to Monaco or kangaroo leather. The product page lists removable CE Level 2 dual-density armor (EN 1621-1:2012) at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2, TPU-reinforced metal protectors at the shoulders and knees, and TPU elbow and knee sliders.

Seams use dual and triple stitching at critical zones. The SATRA summary of EN 1621 sets out the standard and its force limits. The product page shows no test certificate for the armor and states no EN 17092 class for this suit.

Fit Features

  • Pre-curved sleeves for the riding position
  • Accordion stretch panels at the elbows, lower back and knees
  • YKK semi auto-lock zippers at the front, cuffs and calves
  • Soft neoprene cuffs and collar
  • Polyester mesh lining, with a removable thermal lining as an add-on

One-Piece or Two-Piece

The suit can be ordered as a one-piece, a two-piece, a jacket only or pants only, with none, chest, front or full perforation. Two-piece sets zip together at the waist, which some riders prefer for road use. Garments are graded under EN 17092 by class, from AAA to C; the SATRA overview of EN 17092 lists what each class requires, and buyers should confirm the class of a specific model.

Related Gear

Other Ducati race gear is grouped under Ducati racing leathers and the MotoGP replica race suits category.

The two-piece Ducati leathers are an alternative cut, and Ducati racing gloves fit the same set.
