DescriptionThe whole story▼
The IXON Vortex 3 in Black/Anthracite/Orange is a perforated men's leather race suit built for riders who demand genuine track-level protection on every ride — whether that means a summer canyon run, a regular trackday, or a full race weekend. Sharp orange accents cut through the dark base palette to give this one-piece an aggressive, purposeful look that matches its performance credentials.
Key Features
- CE Class AAA certified to EN 17092-2:2020 — the highest one-piece leather suit rating available
- Localised micro-perforations and 3D-mesh panels at the back and thighs promote airflow during warm-weather and high-intensity riding
- BETAC Type B armour at shoulders, elbows and knees (Level 1); vented Level 2 hip protectors and foam coccyx protection included
- Compatible with IX-AIRBAG vest systems U03, U04 and U05 for riders who want a modern airbag upgrade
- 4-way stretch Nylon panels and Lycra comfort zones deliver a race-fit cut without sacrificing freedom of movement
- Replaceable ELBOW 2.0 elbow sliders and adjustable RACE 2.0 knee sliders for genuine track use
Fit and Construction
Every decision in the Vortex 3's construction is guided by how the suit behaves in motion, not just how it looks on the hanger. The close-fitting, sport-oriented cut is engineered to support a committed riding position — deep on the pegs, chest low over the tank — while the 4-way stretch Nylon inserts at key flex points mean you are never fighting the suit through quick direction changes or long, committed corners.
Robust leather forms the primary shell, doubled in the seat area for extra abrasion resistance where contact with the seat and machine is constant. Additional leather reinforcements are placed at the highest-wear zones, and all seam connections are secured with double stitching throughout. The result is a one-piece that feels precise and planted without the stiffness that punishes riders on longer outings.
Ventilation for Summer and Trackday Use
Riding hard in warm conditions is a genuine comfort challenge, and the Vortex 3 addresses it with a targeted ventilation strategy rather than an all-over perforation that weakens structure. Localised micro-perforations are positioned where airflow matters most during riding, while 3D-mesh zones at the back and thighs support additional circulation without compromising the leather's protective integrity.
This makes the Vortex 3 a strong everyday choice for:
- Summer road rides and touring sport routes
- Spirited A-road and mountain pass sessions
- Regular trackdays and club racing
- Ambitious circuit riding at higher pace
Protection Specification
The Vortex 3 carries CE Class AAA certification under EN 17092-2:2020 — the top tier for one-piece motorcycle suits — confirming it meets the most demanding abrasion and impact resistance requirements. The protective package is designed with direct reference to motorsport use:
- BETAC Type B armour at shoulders, elbows and knees (Level 1)
- Vented hip protectors at Level 2
- Foam coccyx protector
- Double leather layer in the seat area
- Additional leather reinforcements at high-stress points
- Secured double stitching at all connection seams
- Pockets for optional fanom® chest protectors
Airbag compatibility for IX-AIRBAG vest systems U03, U04 and U05 means riders can integrate a full electronic airbag system without changing suits — a practical and future-proof advantage that adds real everyday value.
Trackday and Racing Details
The thoughtful detail work on the Vortex 3 is where everyday usability really shows. These are not features added for the catalogue — they are design choices that make the suit easier and more practical to live with across a full season:
- New aerodynamic racing hump
- Replaceable ELBOW 2.0 elbow sliders
- Adjustable and replaceable RACE 2.0 knee sliders
- YKK main zip with self-locking slider
- Semi-self-locking zips at wrists and calves
- Neoprene comfort collar
- Removable mesh vest
- Anti-slip shin plates
- 0.5-litre hydration bladder docking system
- Ankle strap for convenient hanging and storage
Colour: Black/Anthracite/Orange
The Black/Anthracite/Orange colourway is engineered to turn heads for the right reasons. The deep black and anthracite base reads as premium and purposeful, while the orange detailing adds energy and makes the suit instantly recognisable in the pit lane or on the road. It pairs naturally with black or orange helmet and glove combinations and looks equally at home on a supersport, a naked bike, or at a club circuit event.

The IXON Vortex 3 is a universal fit men's one-piece leather suit, available in sizes S through 4XL. It is compatible with IX-AIRBAG vest systems U03, U04 and U05 and accepts optional fanom® chest protectors.
