Collection: Motocross Gear

(1101)

The Alpinestars motocross collection offers comprehensive protection and performance gear for off-road riding. This includes MX helmets with advanced ventilation systems, race-proven jerseys and pants designed for durability and mobility, motocross boots engineered for ankle support and impact protection, gloves with superior grip and knuckle protection, chest protectors and body armor, knee braces and guards, goggles and accessories, and technical base layers for moisture management.

Each category is developed with input from professional MX athletes and tested in the most demanding racing conditions to ensure maximum protection and performance on the track.

Proper fit is critical for motocross gear to function effectively. MX jerseys and pants should fit snugly without restricting movement, allowing full range of motion for aggressive riding positions. Boots must provide firm ankle support while allowing flexibility at the shin and calf, with no heel lift when walking. Gloves should fit like a second skin with no excess material in the fingers. Body armor and chest protectors need to sit flush against the body without shifting during riding.

Alpinestars motocross gear is designed with pre-curved ergonomic patterns and stretch panels in key mobility zones to balance protection with freedom of movement. Most riders find MX gear fits true to size, but checking specific size charts for each product category ensures the best fit for your body type and riding style.

Alpinestars motocross gear is engineered to meet and exceed international safety standards for off-road motorcycle riding. MX boots and body armor incorporate CE-certified protection where applicable, meeting European safety regulations for impact absorption and abrasion resistance. Helmets in the collection are certified to DOT, ECE, and in many cases FIM standards for professional racing use.

Beyond certifications, Alpinestars conducts extensive real-world testing with factory race teams across MotoGP, Motocross, and Supercross championships. This racing heritage ensures that protection technologies are validated in the most extreme conditions before reaching consumer products.

Proper maintenance extends the life and performance of motocross gear. Jerseys and pants should be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, turned inside out to protect graphics and materials. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying, as these can degrade technical fabrics and protective components. Air drying is recommended.

MX boots should be cleaned with mild soap and water, avoiding submersion. Allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, and periodically inspect buckles, straps, and pivot points for wear. Gloves can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried. Body armor and protection should be wiped down with a damp cloth and inspected regularly for cracks or damage. Always replace any protective gear that has been involved in a significant impact.

Youth motocross gear is specifically scaled and engineered for younger riders' body proportions and development needs. Beyond simple size differences, youth gear features adjusted protection placement to account for different body ratios, modified ergonomics for smaller frames and shorter limbs, and age-appropriate impact protection levels that balance safety with weight and mobility.

Alpinestars youth MX collection maintains the same technical construction methods and materials as adult gear, ensuring young riders receive championship-proven protection as they develop their skills. The gear is designed to accommodate growth spurts while maintaining proper protective fit throughout the season. For comprehensive youth options, explore the MX youth collection.
