Dani Pedrosa and the 2018 Repsol Honda Season
Pedrosa announced on 12 July 2018 at the Sachsenring that he would retire at the end of that season, finishing with 31 premier-class victories according to Cycle News. That makes the 2018 livery a natural reference point for collectors: it marks the closing chapter of a long Repsol Honda partnership.
The replica reproduces the orange, red and white color scheme of that season. It is not produced by, or affiliated with, the rider or the team. Riders who want to see more from the rider can browse , and a related replica from the same season is the .
Leather and Construction
The listing describes 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed, milled cowhide as the main material, with Monaco leather and kangaroo leather offered as upgrades. No abrasion test result is listed for the leather.
- Accordion stretch panels at the lower back and knees
- Cordura stretch panels at the sleeves, crotch and calf
- Double and triple stitching at critical points
- Replaceable TPU knee sliders
Stretch panels let the leather move with a rider who is tucked behind the screen, which matters over a full track session more than in a short ride.
Race-Ready Protection Explained
The Honda Repsol Dani Pedrosa 2018 suit lists removable dual-density armor described as CE Level 2 to EN 1621-1:2012 at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips; check the marking on the protectors themselves. A removable spine protector described as EN 1621-2 compatible is also listed.
EN 1621-1 is the European standard for limb joint protectors. It measures how much force passes through the armor when a weight strikes it, and Level 2 allows less transmitted force than Level 1. The standard describes laboratory performance of the armor only, so it is not a promise about injury outcomes. SATRA publishes a plain summary of the EN 1621 test method and its two performance levels.
Fit, Hump and Configuration Options
Pre-curved sleeves support a tucked riding position. The listing also offers a choice of speed hump (standard, ventilated or hydro), perforation from none to full coverage, and 1-piece, 2-piece, jacket-only or pant-only builds.
