Designed to offer the latest in innovative materials and protective motorcycling technology, Alpinestars Spring 2023 Collection has been engineered with the goal of bringing confidence and comfort to motorcycle riders in all conditions, from urban commuting to touring and sport riders. The goal is to always make the ride even more enjoyable.
To achieve this, Alpinestars has taken climate management to the next level, and much of the new gear incorporates waterproof technologies that perform, no matter how tough the conditions.
TOURING
The new introductions to the Spring 2023 Touring line-up are equally exciting, and set new benchmarks in climate management, with Alpinestars’ Drystar® membrane being used throughout the line and in the Halo Drystar® Jacket and Pants, the RT-7 Drystar® Boots, the CR-X Women’s Drystar® Riding Shoes, as well as in the urban category’s Men and Women’s Chrome Drystar® Riding Shoes. Spring 23 showcases Alpinestars’ commitment to reinforcing the Halo Drystar® gear range with the launch of new colorways and the introduction of the new Halo Leather Glove.
RACING
With the Spring 23 launch, the Racing category sees another major innovation in material technology with the introduction of Alpinestars Composite Stretch Technology (A-CS® Tech) in both the Racing Absolute v2 and the GP Plus V4 one piece suits. Developed in MotoGP, and incorporated extensively throughout the Racing Absolute v2 suit, A-CS®Tech is strategically positioned in the suit’s side torso, shoulder blades, and upper knee areas, for exceptional breathability, comfort, and freedom of movement. Not only does A-CS® Tech provide the suit with a lighter weight, the Alpinestars Composite Stretch Technology also offers a lower profile than traditional leather accordion panels. Another key advantage to using A-CS®Tech is its superior stretch performance that provides approximately 30% of elongation and offers an increase in tear resistance of 248% compared to standard racing stretch fiber, as well as an increase in cut resistance of 570% versus leather.
RACING SPORT
The new Spring 2023 line sees Alpinestars introducing several highly ventilated and versatile, mid-season protective riding jackets engineered for street riders living and riding in warmer climates. Designed for premium airflow, the Zaca Air Jacket, the SMX Air Jacket, the Stella SMX Air Jacket, and the Monza Sport Jacket are great options for riders in need of ventilation.
STELLA
Designed specifically for the female physique, with the Stella line, Alpinestars protects women, empowering them by giving women the peace of mind that comes with knowing they’re fully protected while pursuing their riding passions. The Women’s Stella Line has been given special focus for Spring 23, where we find Alpinestars adding several ventilated, mid-season jackets, as well as enhancements to the range of protective footwear with the addition of the new Chrome and CR-X Women’s Drystar® Riding Shoes, and the addition of protective riding denim with the Women’s Caliber Tech Riding Pants.
