GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket - Black/White - US 48 / EU 58

The Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket offers premium protection and exceptional comfort for serious riders. Engineered with race-derived features, this jacket combines lightweight materials and advanced stretch technology to enhance mobility and riding performance. Its 1.3 mm race-grade leather construction provides an optimal balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility, ensuring durability without sacrificing comfort. Extensive stretch panels under the arms, on the inner arms, and around the neck adapt to your movements for a tailored fit, while the RIDEKNIT® engineered inner arms deliver high abrasion resistance, tear strength, and comfort with superior mechanical stretch and breathability.

This jacket is equipped with dual-density DFS shoulders that optimize friction control during impacts and GP Lite elbow armor to protect crucial impact zones. The Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor further enhances impact protection, meeting high safety standards for riders. Designed with a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit, the jacket features pre-curved arms to reduce fatigue and improve handling during rides. Its innovative A-CS® Plus stretch panels on the torso are approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather panels and provide about 30% elongation, offering increased tear and cut resistance—300% and 600% respectively—compared to standard stretch fibers and leather.

Breathability is prioritized with technical stretch panels located strategically on the inner arms and around the neck, allowing for excellent airflow and moisture management during high-intensity riding. The lightweight construction, combined with a lower profile design, ensures minimal bulk and maximum agility. The jacket is also Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 compatible, providing riders with integrated airbag protection options for added safety. Whether you’re racing or enjoying spirited rides, the Alpinestars GP Plus R v4 Rideknit® Leather Jacket delivers the perfect balance of performance, protection, and comfort in a stylish black and white finish.
