The 2020 World Superbike (WSBK) season marked a significant new chapter for the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT). It was the year Alex Lowes joined the most dominant force in production-based racing, taking his seat alongside Jonathan Rea. Debuting with a spectacular win in Australia, Lowes proved that the "Lime Green" legacy was in safe hands.
For riders who want to channel that same championship-winning energy, the , available at Leather Collection, represent the pinnacle of track-ready gear. These aren't just a fan replica; they are a high-performance protective suit designed to meet the demands of the modern racer.
Engineered for Elite Performance
Kawasaki’s "Ready to Race" philosophy extends beyond their engines and into the gear worn by their factory pilots. The Alex Lowes 2020 suit is built to handle the immense physical stresses of high-speed cornering and the extreme friction of the tarmac.
Premium Material Composition
To ensure professional-grade durability, the suit utilizes top-tier materials:
Top-Grain Cowhide: Crafted from 1.2mm to 1.3mm premium cowhide leather, providing the ultimate balance of supple flexibility and maximum abrasion resistance.
Safety Stitching: Every seam is reinforced with high-strength nylon thread and triple-stitching in critical impact zones to prevent structural failure during a slide.
Schoeller-Keprotec® Stretch: High-strength elasticated panels are integrated into the underarms, crotch, and behind the knees, allowing the rider to move fluidly through chicanes.
Advanced Safety Architecture
When you are leaning a Ninja ZX-10RR into a turn at 100 mph, confidence comes from knowing your gear can save your life. The Alex Lowes replica features a multi-layered safety system designed to dissipate energy and prevent injury.
Impact and Friction Shields
CE-Approved Internal Armor: The suit comes equipped with removable, dual-density protectors at the shoulders, elbows, and knees that meet international safety standards.
External TPU Sliders: Hard-shell Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) sliders on the shoulders and elbows allow the rider to slide smoothly, reducing the risk of "grabbing" the asphalt and tumbling.
Aerodynamic Speed Hump: This feature serves two purposes: it smooths out airflow at high speeds and provides vital support for the neck and spine during a fall.
Knee Sliders: Replaceable high-quality knee sliders allow for consistent feel and protection during aggressive lean angles.
Ergonomics and Rider Comfort
is known for a physical and dynamic riding style. To support this, the 2020 Kawasaki leathers are designed with an "active-fit" ergonomic profile.
Precision Design Features
Accordion Leather Bellows: Located at the lower back and above the knees, these expansion zones ensure the leather moves with the rider's anatomy, reducing fatigue.
Pre-Curved Construction: The sleeves and legs are pre-shaped to mirror the natural "racing tuck" position, eliminating material bunching and the risk of arm pump.
Climate Management: * Breathable Mesh Lining: A 100% polyester mesh lining helps regulate body temperature by wicking away moisture.
Custom Perforation: Riders can opt for perforated leather panels on the chest and thighs to maximize airflow during hot summer track days.
The Iconic KRT Aesthetic
Visually, this suit is a masterpiece of the 2020 KRT livery. Featuring the signature lime green, black, and white color scheme, it includes professional-grade leather patchwork for the "AL22" branding and sponsor logos. These details are integrated into the leather itself, ensuring a premium look that outlasts cheap screen-printed alternatives.
Why Choose a Custom Fit?
At Leather Collection, the Made-to-Measure service is a game-changer. A racing suit provides the best protection when the armor aligns perfectly with the wearer's joints. A custom-fit suit ensures a "second-skin" feel, providing maximum mobility and ensuring that safety features stay in place when they are needed most.

The Alex Lowes Kawasaki Racing Leathers 2020 are more than a tribute to a great rider; they are a commitment to your own performance on the track. Whether you are a Kawasaki enthusiast or a serious racer, this suit provides the technology and style required to ride like a pro.
