Motorcycle race track pants need to perform well in a few specific areas, which is what separates racing pants from regular everyday motorcycle pants. In order to be functional on the track, the track pants should be a minimum of 1.2 millimeter cowhide leather for abrasion resistance when sliding. Motorcycle racing pants should offer a 360 degree zip to connect to a jacket, and the preshaping of the pants should be aggressive to hold the rider's body in a tucked position when racing. This same preshape will help in the safety of the track pants by limiting the range of motion which in turn will keep the legs in a safer position in the event of a crash. All knee armor in motorcycle racing pants will be CE rated but will range from being built-in underneath the exterior of the garment to being an external replaceable "puck" kneeslider. Choosing the right pair of motorcycle race track pants is an important decision, so please do not hesitate to give us a call with anyone questions you may have.
