Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Motorcycle Jacket

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket is engineered for riders seeking the ultimate combination of performance, protection, and comfort. Crafted from 1.3 mm ‘Race’ grade leather, this jacket provides an optimal balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility. Its dedicated ‘Sport’ fit features pre-curved arms to enhance riding ergonomics, reducing fatigue and ensuring a natural position during aggressive maneuvers or long-distance tours. Central to its innovative design is the integration of Alpinestars’ RIDEKNIT® technology. This material, utilized in the inner arms, combines high abrasion and tear resistance with exceptional flexibility and breathability. The jacket also features A-CS® Plus stretch panels on the torso, which are approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather accordion panels. These panels offer about 30% elongation and a significant increase in tear and cut resistance, providing a low-profile fit that moves seamlessly with the rider. Safety is paramount, with race-derived protection throughout the garment. The jacket is equipped with dual-density DFS shoulders for superior friction control and impact absorption. Internal protection includes GP Lite elbow armor and Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor, providing high-level defense in critical zones. For riders seeking the highest level of electronic protection, the jacket is fully compatible with Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 airbag systems. Strategic stretch zones under the arms, on the inner arms, and around the neck ensure exceptional airflow and a tailored fit. Whether on the track or the open road, this jacket delivers a high-performance riding experience that excels in safety, agility, and style. Features:
