DescriptionThe whole story▼
The IXON Vortex 3 in Black/Neon Yellow is constructed from a leather and 4-way stretch nylon shell that sets it apart from lesser race suits before you even swing a leg over the bike. Every panel, seam and protective layer has been engineered with direct input from professional circuit racing, giving this one-piece the structural integrity and tactile precision that serious track riders demand.
Key Features
- CE Class AAA certified to EN 17092-2:2020 — the highest available protection rating for motorcycle suits
- Premium leather outer shell reinforced with 4-way stretch nylon panels and Lycra comfort zones for unrestricted movement in a deep race tuck
- Localised micro-perforations combined with 3D mesh panels at the back and thighs drive active airflow during warm-weather sessions
- Compatible with IX-AIRBAG vests U03, U04 and U05, allowing seamless integration of electronic airbag protection
- BETAC Type B shoulder, elbow and knee armour (Level 1) plus ventilated hip protectors (Level 2) and a foam coccyx protector as standard
- Replaceable ELBOW 2.0 elbow sliders and adjustable, interchangeable RACE 2.0 knee sliders for track-ready confidence
Built to Last, Built to Perform
The material specification of the Vortex 3 reflects IXON's uncompromising approach to build quality. The outer shell pairs genuine leather — chosen for its abrasion resistance and natural ability to conform to the rider's body over time — with 4-way stretch nylon in high-flex zones. Lycra comfort inserts at key articulation points remove the stiffness that plagues cheaper suits and allow the garment to move with you rather than against you. Double-layered leather reinforces the seat area, and fully secured double stitching throughout the construction ensures the suit holds together under the lateral forces generated at circuit pace. Additional leather reinforcements protect the highest-wear zones, so the suit ages gracefully even through repeated track days.
Race Fit and Ergonomics
The close race fit of the Vortex 3 is calibrated for riders who spend time in aggressive, forward-biased positions. In fast corners, hard braking zones and while transitioning between apexes, the suit remains taut without restricting shoulder rotation or hip mobility. The elastic insert strategy means the leather shell never fights the rider for movement, a distinction that becomes apparent immediately on track compared with a conventionally cut suit.
Perforated Design for Warm Conditions
Heat management is a genuine performance variable, not a comfort footnote. The Vortex 3 addresses this with targeted micro-perforations across the leather panels that channel airflow directly over the body, supplemented by 3D mesh sections at the back and thighs that evacuate warm air continuously. The result is a suit that remains genuinely wearable during back-to-back track sessions on a warm summer's day. This ventilation architecture makes the Vortex 3 the natural choice for:
- Spirited summer road riding
- Track day training programmes
- Ambitious circuit weekends
- Riders who refuse to compromise between protection and thermal comfort
Protection Architecture
Achieving CE Class AAA under EN 17092-2:2020 demands a comprehensive protection system, and the Vortex 3 delivers one. Included as standard are BETAC Type B Level 1 protectors at the shoulders, elbows and knees, ventilated Level 2 hip protectors, and a foam coccyx guard. Pockets are pre-fitted to accept optional fanom® chest protectors, and the suit is cut to integrate directly with IXON's IX-AIRBAG vest range (U03, U04 and U05) for riders who want the added reassurance of electronic airbag deployment.
Racing Details Thought Through
Beyond the materials and protection, the Vortex 3 carries a full complement of circuit-focused features:
- New aerodynamic racing seat cowl integrated into the rear of the suit
- Replaceable ELBOW 2.0 elbow sliders
- Adjustable and interchangeable RACE 2.0 knee sliders
- YKK main zip with self-locking slider
- Semi-self-locking zips at the calf and wrist
- Neoprene comfort collar
- Removable mesh inner vest
- Anti-slip shin plates
- 0.5-litre hydration bladder docking system
- Ankle strap for convenient hanging storage
Black/Neon Yellow: Maximum Visual Presence
The Black/Neon Yellow colourway is unambiguous in its intent. The deep black base gives the suit a clean, aggressive foundation, while neon yellow accents cut through at every glance — on or off the circuit. For riders who want their gear to make a statement that matches the pace they ride at, this colour combination delivers without any compromise to the underlying specification.
Fitment and Compatibility
The IXON Vortex 3 is designed for male riders and is available in sizes S through 4XL. The suit is compatible with IXON IX-AIRBAG vests U03, U04 and U05. It is intended for use in summer conditions, on track and on spirited road rides where maximum protection is required.
