DescriptionThe whole story▼
Built on MotoGP technology and certified to the highest EN 17092 AAA standard, the Dainese Audax D-ZIP one-piece leather suit in black/red delivers race-grade protection and all-day wearability in equal measure. Whether you ride to the track and back or use it as your everyday sports companion, this suit is engineered to perform wherever the road takes you.
Key Features
- EN 17092 AAA certification — the top protection class for motorcycle clothing, giving you complete confidence on road and circuit
- D-Skin cowhide leather with localised perforation balances exceptional abrasion resistance with ventilation and stretch
- Dual lateral zip system replaces the conventional central zip, optimising your tuck position and making the suit more comfortable to wear both on and off the bike
- Fully elastic back construction minimises seam count, improving durability and distributing impact forces more effectively in a fall
- Microelastic 2.0 technology delivers a close, form-fitting cut that moves naturally with the rider without restricting reach
- Boot-IN System for seamless integration with Dainese motorcycle boots, including Dainese AXIAL 2
- Removable and washable D-Tec Racing Core inner lining keeps the suit fresh across consecutive track days or touring miles
Protection System
The Audax D-ZIP uses a multi-layer armour strategy that covers every primary impact zone. Composite Level 2 armour sits at the shoulders, elbows and knees, absorbing peak impact energy efficiently. Pro-Shape 2.0 Level 1 protectors at the hips provide flexible coverage without bulking out the silhouette.
The floating racing shoulder construction incorporates an exchangeable aluminium plate that minimises friction during a slide. Exchangeable aluminium and steel plates at the knees and elbows resist sudden rotational forces — the kind that cause the most serious injuries in track crashes. RSS 4.0 elbow and knee sliders are also user-replaceable and individually adjustable, so you can set them precisely to your riding style and replace worn items without returning the suit for service.
Ergonomics and Airflow
The dual zip entry is designed around the needs of a sports rider in an aggressive tuck. By routing the zips to either side of the torso rather than straight down the centre, the suit allows the upper body to mould flush against the tank — a detail borrowed directly from professional racing. Elastic performance wrist and neck constructions extend this freedom of movement to the extremities, eliminating pressure points during long stints.
An aerodynamic spoiler at the back improves airflow stability at speed without adding unwanted drag. Localised leather perforation channels air through the zones most prone to heat build-up, while the breathable mesh lining wicks moisture away from the skin. A waterproof internal pocket keeps documents and a smartphone protected when the weather changes.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Dainese Audax D-ZIP is a men's one-piece leather suit available in sizes 44 to 60 (European sizing). The Boot-IN System is designed for use with Dainese motorcycle boots and is confirmed compatible with the Dainese AXIAL 2. Calf zip entry on each leg makes the suit straightforward to pull on and off, even when wearing race boots. A dedicated D-air connector port is absent — this is the non-D-air version of the Audax suit.
