DescriptionThe whole story▼
When tenths of a second define the race, the Dainese Audax D-ZIP one-piece leather suit delivers the MotoGP-derived engineering that separates serious track riders from the rest. Built from D-Skin cowhide and certified to EN 17092 AAA — the highest protection class for motorcycle clothing — this perforated racing suit in black with neon yellow accents is engineered to perform at the absolute limit, lap after lap.
Key Features
- EN 17092 AAA certified — the highest safety classification for motorcycle riding suits
- D-Skin cowhide outer shell for exceptional abrasion resistance and long-term durability
- Composite Level 2 armour at shoulders, elbows and knees; Pro-Shape 2.0 Level 1 hip armour for comprehensive impact protection
- Dual side zip closure eliminates a rigid central seam, enabling a natural, unrestricted racing tuck position
- Microelastic 2.0 technology combined with a fully elastic back construction delivers a close, flexible fit with minimal seam bulk
- Localised perforation zones and a removable, washable D-Tec Racing Core inner lining manage airflow and moisture during intensive track sessions
- Boot-IN System integrates seamlessly with Dainese motorcycle boots, including the AXIAL 2
Track-Focused Construction
The Audax D-ZIP is built around a revolutionary design philosophy: eliminate every compromise that stands between rider and performance. The fully elastic front and back panel construction reduces internal seam lines and increases structural integrity under slide loads, while the Microelastic 2.0 panels ensure the suit moves with the rider rather than against them. Elastic performance wrist cuffs and a sculpted neck construction prevent pressure points during aggressive riding positions, whether you are braking hard into a hairpin or tucked flat on the straight.
The floating racing shoulder construction incorporates replaceable aluminium plates, absorbing and dispersing impact energy during a fall. Replaceable aluminium and steel plates at the knees and elbows reduce dangerous rotational forces — a critical detail on a circuit where slides happen at speed. RSS 4.0 elbow and knee sliders are included and can be swapped to suit your personal riding style as they wear down.
Aerodynamics and Ventilation
At high speed, aerodynamic stability is as important as grip. The integrated racing spoiler optimises airflow over the rider's back, improving stability and reducing lift during flat-out sections. Localised perforations are positioned precisely where heat builds fastest, drawing cool air through the suit while the breathable mesh lining transfers moisture away from the skin. The removable and fully washable D-Tec Racing Core inner lining keeps the suit fresh across consecutive track days, and a waterproof internal pocket securely stores a phone or documents without adding bulk.
Entry and Fit
Getting into a one-piece suit after a long session is a familiar frustration — the Audax D-ZIP addresses it directly. A zip at each calf opening makes donning and removing the suit straightforward, even in a paddock garage. The dual side zips replace the conventional single front zip, improving the ergonomic profile and eliminating the ridge of fabric that can create discomfort in a deep tuck. Available in sizes 44 through 60.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Dainese Audax D-ZIP is designed for men and is compatible with the Dainese Boot-IN System, providing a seamless interface with Dainese motorcycle boots including the AXIAL 2. The suit is a standalone one-piece and does not require a separate jacket or trouser connection.
