Alpinestars GP Tech V5 Leather Suit - 1 Piece

Alpinestars GP Tech V5 Leather 1-Piece Suit

Pure Race Performance, Refined

The GP Tech V5 represents the evolution of Alpinestars’ track-focused race suits—bridging the gap between full factory-spec gear and high-performance consumer suits. Developed with direct input from MotoGP athletes, it delivers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, advanced protection, and total freedom of movement for riders pushing the limits.

Aerodynamic Engineering at Speed

Designed to minimize drag and maximize stability, the GP Tech V5 features an optimized racing silhouette and aerodynamic hump that performs whether you're in a full tuck or leaned deep into a corner. Every panel is engineered to reduce turbulence and enhance high-speed confidence.

This focus on airflow and stability helps riders stay composed and efficient during aggressive riding and race conditions.

Advanced Race Construction

The chassis combines premium race-grade leather with strategically reinforced zones for maximum abrasion resistance. Dual-layer panels in high-impact areas increase durability, while lightweight materials keep overall weight down for improved endurance on track.

Large stretch panels and advanced material mapping ensure flexibility without sacrificing structural integrity—giving riders a precise, locked-in feel.

Freedom of Movement

Ergonomics are a core focus of the GP Tech V5. With a newly developed race pattern, pre-curved limbs, and extensive stretch zones, the suit moves naturally with the rider. Whether transitioning through corners or hanging off the bike, it allows full control without restriction.

This enhanced mobility helps reduce fatigue and improves rider input over long sessions.

Track-Tested Protection

• CE-certified armor in shoulders, elbows, and knees
• GP DFS external sliders for impact and abrasion management
• Reinforced multi-layer zones in critical impact areas
• Race-grade stitching for maximum seam strength

Every component is designed to absorb impact energy, reduce rotational forces, and protect during high-speed slides.

Tech-Air® Ready

Fully compatible with Alpinestars Tech-Air® airbag systems, the GP Tech V5 allows riders to integrate advanced electronic protection seamlessly—bringing elite-level safety technology to every session.
