5.5 Racewear
Designed to Move - Built to Win
In motocross, every movement matters: balance, control and speed all rely on ease and precision of movement. Whether you’re charging into a rough braking zone, scrubbing a jump or battling through the final laps of a moto, you need gear that doesn’t hold you back.
Engineered around the rider, 2027 5.5 Racewear is a complete performance system: unrestricted mobility, advanced ventilation, race-proven durability, and, above all, enhanced bike control. Every seam, every panel, every material has been refined to reduce distractions, maximise comfort and perform under the demands of modern motocross. This is racewear at the cutting edge; racewear that moves with you, so you can focus on riding at your limit.
Beyond leather:
Introducing HeatGrip™ technology
What is control? It’s not about the bike or the rider alone. It’s about the connection between the two. It’s about being able to extend the rider’s awareness beyond their own senses, so that rider and machine become one.
Newly featured in the latest 5.5 I.K.S. pants, HeatGrip™ technology replaces traditional leather inner-knee panels with a next-generation material engineered to deliver superior grip, exceptional durability and consistent performance, no matter what the conditions.
To produce HeatGrip™, Leatt’s abrasion and cut resistant Deflextion fabric was combined with a durable heatproof coating. The result? A material that resists the drying, cracking and general disintegration that typically happens with leather. It’s fully machine washable (unlike leather), requires no special maintenance (unlike leather) and is even grippier than leather in both the dry and the wet. HeatGrip™ gives riders the confidence and control they need – through every rut, berm and braking zone.
HeatGrip™ offers outstanding resistance to wear from knee braces, thanks to 100% aramid reinforcement; it’s lighter, longer-lasting and more sustainable thanks to Bluesign® materials – and it’s yet another example of Leatt’s commitment to performance advantage.
Mobility, evolved
Both the 2027 5.5 jersey and pants maximise mobility by reducing unnecessary bulk with streamlined multi-panel construction. By minimising seams and strategically placing stretch materials, the clothing follows the rider’s natural body position to create a fit that feels almost invisible on the bike. The result is unrestricted movement through every corner, jump and landing, allowing riders to stay fluid, comfortable and in complete control.
Keep your cool
Racing is incredibly demanding on clothing. It demands durability, flexibility, ventilation, comfort, when conditions are at their toughest.
Designed as a complete performance system, 5.5 Racewear features lightweight performance fabrics, advanced mesh construction and strategically placed laser-cut ventilation to maximise airflow and regulate body temperature. Together, the jersey and pants provide exceptional breathability without compromising on the durability that’s necessary for professional-level motocross and supercross.
Whether you’re lined up for a practice or battling through to the final laps of a moto, 5.5 Racewear is built to last – and to help you stay cooler, more comfortable and more focussed.
Every detail matters
At Leatt, innovation has always started with the rider.
5.5 Racewear represents countless hours of development, athlete feedback and real-world testing, resulting in a race kit that feels lighter, moves better, stays cooler and lets you stay more in the zone and in control when it counts.
After all, when you're pushing the limit, your gear should never be the limiting factor.
