New Product] Feedback from the racing scene! Kushitani's new racing suit base pattern "NEXUS3" is now available.

KUSHITANI has developed the NEXUS3 racing suit base pattern based on feedback from the world's most prestigious races such as MotoGP.

NEXUS3 - the next chapter of MotoGP

Kushitani's racing suits are constantly being updated and evolving. The suits developed with many top riders have been transformed over time into the K-X, KIX-R, and KIX-RR suits, and now they have been perfected under the name "NEXUS". The new "NEXUS 3" is the latest version, evolving based on feedback from the world's most prestigious races such as MotoGP and WSBK, not to mention the All-Japan Championship. While meeting the requirements of the racing scene, the technology has also been fed back to the model worn by ordinary riders. The goal is not just to go faster, but to achieve a higher level of performance and reliability.

6 things that have evolved in NEXUS3

Through the experience of MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, WSBK, ARRC, and All Japan Championships, dozens of detailed updates have been embodied since NEXUS 2. The latest features developed from this experience have been incorporated into Nexus 3. 1 Inner Stretch In order to maximize the original suppleness of the leather suit, the inner structure was reviewed. New stretch materials and a three-dimensional pattern were adopted. It naturally conforms to the body's movements, improving freedom of movement when riding. 2 Airbag compatible sewing To ensure that the airbag system functions properly, the strength of the seams and the placement of reinforcement materials have been carefully optimized so that the fabric does not interfere with movement when the system is activated. The overlap of leather and the thickness of seam allowance are minimized as much as possible to reduce damage to the suit in the event of a fall. These specifications are continually reviewed, incorporating feedback from the field and actual use by professional riders. 3) Reinforced 3D Cutting A new 3D pattern that follows the riding form has been adopted to further enhance the fit while minimizing excessive "excess. The design is based on the assumption of a forward leaning posture, and while the garment naturally follows the body during riding, the placement and cutting of the leather has been adjusted to follow the body's movements. The pattern design reflects feedback from the racing scene in every detail, aiming for both protection and ease of movement. 4 Reinforcement for Airbags When airbags are triggered, a large load is placed on specific parts of the suit, so KUSHITANI has focused on reinforcing the areas outside of the airbags. The thickness and elasticity of the leather and the balance of the sewing pattern are carefully adjusted so as not to impair ease of movement and comfort, and the new design is unique to airbag-compatible suits, aiming for both safety and comfort. 5 Improved comfort performance Continued review of shapes and materials to improve aerodynamics and comfort. The back bumps (aero pads), sliders, and injected parts have been optimized for balance and stability while driving. In addition, the gloves and the areas where the parts overlap have been designed to minimize chafing and pressure. 6 No size change Airbag-equipped models are designed to be worn in the same size as when not equipped. The three-dimensional pattern is designed to change shape when inflated to maintain a natural fit with no compression under normal conditions, while allowing enough room for the airbags to deploy properly in the event of an emergency. Fit and protection. This is a design that achieves both.

Choice of airbag systems

Tech-Air® 7&10 Fully self-supporting, self-contained motorcycle airbag system based on technology developed over many years in the field of MotoGP, for road racing, circuit track days, and other situations requiring high performance. The airbags protect the shoulders, chest, and entire back, and the back protector built into the back provides superior protection. hit-air® WIRED-2 In the event of a fall or other accident, when the rider's body detaches from the chassis and the wires connected to the chassis are pulled, airbags mounted inside the racing suit deploy to cushion the impact on the shoulders, back, and chest. The airbags are not deployed externally as in conventional suits, but inflate inside the suit to enhance impact protection.
