DescriptionThe whole story▼
Built from the ground up with racing-grade materials and construction, the IXON Vortex 3 in White/Black/Red is a one-piece leather suit that earns its credentials on the track and demands respect on the road. The combination of premium leather panels, four-way stretch nylon and strategic Lycra comfort zones reflects a standard of craftsmanship developed alongside professional riders — every seam, slider and closure chosen for performance under real racing conditions.
Key Features
- CE Class AAA certified to EN 17092-2:2020 — the highest protection rating available for motorcycle suits
- Premium leather outer shell reinforced with four-way stretch nylon and Lycra comfort zones for unrestricted movement in a race tuck
- Localised micro-perforations and 3D mesh zones at the back and thighs promote active airflow in warm conditions
- BETAC Type B armour at shoulders, elbows and knees (Level 1), vented Level 2 hip protectors and foam coccyx protection included as standard
- Compatible with IXON IX-AIRBAG vests U03, U04 and U05 for a future-proof protection system
- Removable and repositionable RACE 2.0 knee sliders and replaceable ELBOW 2.0 elbow sliders for genuine track use
Premium Construction and Materials
What sets the Vortex 3 apart from lesser track suits is the quality of its materials and the rigour of its construction. The outer shell pairs full-grain leather — chosen for its abrasion resistance and durability under slide forces — with strategically placed four-way stretch nylon panels that flex precisely where a rider in an aggressive race position needs them to. Accordion inserts and Lycra comfort zones complete a package that adapts to the body rather than fighting it.
The double safety stitching throughout the suit is not a marketing claim — it is a construction requirement that matters when it counts. Additional leather reinforcements are applied to the highest-wear zones, and the YKK main zip features a self-locking slider that stays put whether you are sitting on the grid or scraping through a hairpin. The neoprene collar finish adds a further layer of comfort and sealing against wind intrusion at speed.
Race-Focused Fit and Dynamic Performance
The Vortex 3 is cut close to the body — a purposeful, athletic silhouette that reduces drag and keeps the suit working with the rider rather than against them. Under braking and through fast direction changes, the absence of unwanted pressure points and the responsiveness of the stretch zones translate directly into better feel and more precise control. This is a suit designed to disappear on the bike, letting the rider focus entirely on the road or track ahead.
The aerodynamic racing seat cowl integrated into the rear of the suit is new to this generation of the Vortex and contributes measurably to stability at high speed. Anti-slip panels in the shin area keep the suit correctly positioned, while ankle straps allow convenient hanging when off the bike. A docking system for a 0.5-litre hydration bladder rounds out the practical track-day provisions.
Ventilation for Summer and Track Use
Intense riding generates heat rapidly, and the Vortex 3 addresses this directly. Localised micro-perforations are positioned across the suit in the areas that benefit most from airflow, drawing heat away from the body during sustained high-speed riding. The 3D mesh zones at the back and thighs support continuous air circulation, making this suit a practical choice across a range of warm-weather conditions:
- Summer road riding
- Ambitious track days
- Sporting weekend tours
- Regular circuit use
Protection System
The Vortex 3 carries CE Class AAA certification under EN 17092-2:2020, reflecting the highest available standard for abrasion resistance and overall protection in a motorcycle suit. The armour package fitted as standard includes:
- BETAC Type B protectors at shoulders, elbows and knees (Level 1)
- Vented hip protectors, Level 2
- Foam coccyx protector
- Additional leather reinforcements at high-stress zones
- Double safety stitching throughout
- Pockets for optional fanom® chest protectors
The suit is also fully prepared for IXON's IX-AIRBAG vest system, compatible with the U03, U04 and U05 models, allowing riders to integrate an airbag layer without compromising the fit or function of the outer suit.
