For any rider who has ever twisted the throttle of a KTM RC 390, the experience is unforgettable. It’s a bike that demands precision, rewards aggression, and lives by the "Ready to Race" philosophy. However, to truly harness the power of this lightweight supersport machine, your gear needs to be as high-performance as the engine beneath you.
Enter the KTM RC 390 Motorcycle Race Jacket, a masterpiece of engineering designed specifically for riders who refuse to compromise on safety or style. Whether you are carving through canyon roads or hitting your local track for a weekend session, this jacket is the ultimate armor.
The Aesthetic: Iconic KTM Racing Heritage
The first thing you notice about the is its striking visual identity. KTM’s signature orange, black, and white color palette is more than just a design choice—it’s a badge of honor.
This jacket is designed to perfectly complement the aggressive lines of the RC 390. It features sharp, aerodynamic contours and bold branding that makes you look like a factory team rider before you even click into first gear. But as any experienced rider knows, looking fast is only half the battle; staying protected is what truly matters.
Premium Construction: Built for the Slide
In the world of motorcycle racing, the "slide" is an unfortunate reality we must prepare for. The Motospeeds KTM RC 390 jacket is constructed from premium-grade 1.2mm to 1.3mm top-grain cowhide leather. This thickness is the industry standard for professional racing gear, offering maximum abrasion resistance without sacrificing flexibility.
The leather is drum-dyed, ensuring that the vibrant colors won't fade or peel after seasons of use. Furthermore, the jacket utilizes safety-stitch technology—double and triple stitching in high-impact zones—to ensure that the seams remain intact even under extreme stress.
Safety First: CE-Certified Protection
A racing jacket is only as good as the armor inside it. The KTM RC 390 Race Jacket comes equipped with removable, CE-certified internal protectors. These guards are strategically placed at the shoulders and elbows to absorb and dissipate impact energy.
For those looking for an extra layer of defense, the jacket features:
-
External TPU Sliders: Hard-shell sliders on the shoulders provide an additional layer of protection, helping the rider slide rather than tumble during a fall.
-
Back Protector Compartment: A dedicated pocket for an optional CE Level 2 back protector.
-
Aerodynamic Speed Hump: Often found in professional race suits, the hump on the back reduces wind drag at high speeds and provides vital neck and spine protection.
Ergonomics and Comfort: The "Ready to Race" Fit
One of the biggest complaints riders have with leather jackets is the "break-in" period or a restrictive fit. Motospeeds has addressed this by incorporating advanced ergonomic features into the KTM RC 390 design.
1. Pre-Curved Sleeves
The jacket is designed in a "tucked" riding position. The pre-curved sleeves reduce arm fatigue by following the natural bend of your arms when reaching for the clip-on handlebars of the RC 390.
2. Accordion Stretch Panels
Strategically placed leather stretch panels at the elbows and behind the shoulders allow for a full range of motion. Whether you’re hanging off the bike in a corner or tucking behind the windscreen on a straightaway, the jacket moves with you.
3. Breathability and Ventilation
Racing is hard work, and heat management is crucial. The jacket features perforated leather panels on the chest and sleeves, allowing for consistent airflow to keep your core temperature down during intense rides.

Maintenance Tips for Your Leather Race Jacket
To ensure your KTM RC 390 jacket lasts for years, follow these simple maintenance steps:
-
Clean after every ride: Use a damp cloth to wipe away bugs and road grime.
-
Condition the leather: Every few months, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the hide supple and prevent cracking.
-
Store correctly: Always hang the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it, as this can create permanent creases in the leather and damage the internal armor.
