I’ve crashed 3 times in an RST suit I bought from you w/o a bag, 2 low sides and 1 that launched me over the bars at speed. Suit is still usable, and I walked away all 3 times. Crazy good suits, thinking hard about an airbag model next. Thanks for the videos and great service over the years!
Thank you for your business. I am happy to hear the suit has served you well and would highly recommend picking up an airbag equipped model. That extra level of protection is 100% worth the additional cost. - Van
Happy to hear you like the suit. I rest a whole lot easier with Max racing in good equipment for sure. Neither of us will ride without an airbag. - Van
Just wore my suit for the first time this last Monday. Open track day, did six thirty minute sessions. I'm a 53 year old, retired novice racer. This is by far the most comfortable suit I have ever owned. Thanks to STG for helping me get into the correct size and the best suit.
Love the no-BS approach to all of your videos. I have one of these suits myself, and it is absolutely amazing. Previously I used a nice A Stars suit with a TechAir 5, and while it worked, it was such a pain in the rear to put on and off, having to stuff that airbag vest and make sure it was in there correctly. RSTs integrated airbag makes it 100 times easier to put on and off. Also, agree with the heat comments in the video. I just spent 3 days at Jennings at 90+ degree heat, and no issues at all, that thing flows so much air it is awesome.
It is our job to find the products that deliver the best value for our customers. It is not very often you can find something like this that 100% performs as good as one that sells for double. - Van
Yes... I just did cycle Jam at Road Atlanta. It was pretty dang hot out there but this suit was flowing air like crazy and heat was not a problem. Even when I blew my engine on the back straight (uuuugh) and had to wait on the crash truck in the sun. It was way cooler than my old suit would have been.
100% behind this, Brian does great product videos from a position of real in depth knowledge. Airbag equipped race suits should be mandatory for track days, and all racing anywhere now. As a Brit, we’ve had RST to ourselves for quite some time and it’s good to see them being sold abroad. Value for money and more importantly commitment to protection is fantastic, there is a reason why so many BSB, WSB riders etc wear them. Love these product videos, keep em coming!
Rightly said. The is a very strong suit, and can last for multiple crashes. Airflow is awesome. I have had airbag deployed on mine once in a crash, and it worked very well. One thing you could have mentioned it the replacable co2 canister, which you can diy easily up to 3 times or if the airbag has any damage, and don't have to worry about sending it to rst and pay 300$ like a stars and dainese every single time. Sure people go for d air or tech air, mostly for the name, they are missing out on a great brand.
I went 2 seconds per lap faster than I ever have with my new Roo-Puffy suit I bought from Max at STG 2 weeks ago. And it really fits me perfect. Plus it flows more air due to the fact I don't have 3 inches of solid stuff packed under my suit. Highly recommended!
Insane that In&Motion, the supplier for the airbag unit, makes customers choose between a $400 perpetual license for the airbag software but no updates and a $120/yr subscription with the updates. If you want the updates, customers are an expired credit card away from crashing with an expensive windbreaker that will never inflate.
i was gonna comment the same thing. And your subscription ONLY INCLUDES ONE MODE. If you pick street, and u wanna go do a track day, you cant use the airbag. Or imagine you dont crash in 5 years. Thats 120x5= $600. I love how our beloved family business didn’t care to mention the additional cost. In other words, buy alpinestars.
If you do not like the subscription model for the airbag controller then you can spend nearly as much for just the airbag system and not have to manage a subscription. You could pay for 10 years of subscription and still save $300. - Van
@@d2nt3 Or imagine you have to spend $3000 to get comparable product with another brand? Using your math you are still saving $900. Please use proper punctuation with capital letters next time so people will take you a little more serious. - Van
i wish RST offered up more customization options (fabric/color choices). they do awesome stuff over in the UK and dedicate direct support, but the US support seems to be limited.
We import the race suits here in the US and focus on the colors that will sell through. RST does offer some creative prints that we do not bring in because I do not feel they will sell through. - Van
I have RST Pro Series. It is like one stage lower in the RST structure. But it is airbag suit as well. I crashed in it as well and works great, airbag too. Currently I bought RST Sabre jacket with the airbag for the road and pants. Also having RST boots...so RST, I recemmend fully.
Thank you for your business and enjoy the suit. There are some with a little color on the way now that should be here in a week or so. Personally I think the all black is pretty slick. - Van
Interesting Max used the term “Name brand” when referring to other manufacturers. In the UK RST are one of the, if not the, biggest and most popular brands. You’ll see people wearing them everywhere and really good prices on made-to-measure that makes them better value than an off the peg Daniese. Fantastic equipment and best gloves I’ve ever worn. The only items I’m not a fan of are the boots, because they catch on rearsets.
Big fan of the channel, been watching for years. Bought from you before. Happy customer. is RST a sponsor of max for his racing or are you just genuinely really a fan of their gear now?
RST is a sponsor for Max but like all of his other sponsors everything he rides in or on is hand picked by me. If I do not believe in it 100% you can bet he will not be using it. - Van
Ha that's funny he mentioned that in the video as I am one of the people who spoke to him about the all black gear. I ride track days and mountains here in the southeast with sometimes 100*f temps and near 90% humidity. Black isn't a good color for those days not to mention the visibility. I even contacted rst direct about it, but never heard back from them Hopefully stg starts carrying more of the color choices they have in the Evo airbag suit. I have the blue white and neon camo suit and it is a real head turner. Like you I would really like to see more colors available in their two piece stuff.
We will have some in other colorways (still predominantly black) that should be here next week. The V4.1 flows so much air the color is not an issue. Max has ridden in the all black a ton and the suits he is wearing at MotoAmerica are all dark colors. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear hey MrVan I spoke with you at lil Tally about the RST suits, forgot to ask you is the track profile now available in the US? If so can it be added to a suit that was purchased during the Fauci Flu bit?
We will look into doing this for sure. The biggest difference is the custom does not include the integrated back protector and has the controller installed in the race hump. The suit itself is almost identical beyond that. - Van
I owned and have crashed in an in&motion vest, it is very good, but I am not a fan of their subscription model, is it the same system here? do you have to subscribe to keep using the airbag? if that is the case, one could argue that it is a bit more expensive than 1500 $ (still a good price though)
The monthly is $12 or you can pay $400 up front to own the controller (we do not recommend the $400). Going with the monthly you get software updates and warranty on the unit for as long as you subscribe. For sure it is an added expense, still a strong savings. - Van
The suit itself is very good however the airbag system from inmotion offers nowhere near enough protection around the body and doesn’t seem to be designed for racing. Crashed a few times in mine and keep breaking ribs where there is no protection or if there is it’s not enough. Used my RST suit for racing up until last weekend after another crash and more broken ribs. Changing only because the airbag and multiple reports now of the airbags not deploying.
A good leather suit, without a doubt, but the color and graphics are brutal, I mean very beautiful, I really like it, blue is my favorite color. My Suzuki is blue(and white) and so are the previous ones except one, and I've had several, including my football(in Portugal soccer) club is blue (and white) is FC Porto...
Could you please explain the different coverage of the currently available airbag systems. Ie T-shirt including shoulders and upper arms / or singlet shaped
The in&motion covers the chest, back and over the shoulders. Alpinestars vests cover the chest, back, over the shoulders and extend a little down the side of the shoulder. The Alpinestars Tech Air 10 covers what their vest does along with hip coverage. - Van
Alright, sold. Is this available to try on in your Michigan showroom? I had no idea you guys were so close to me! Looking forward to stopping by some time.
Yes, we keep these in stock here in our warehouse. We have all sizes of the V4.1 in stock now and will have all of the Pro Series in the next week as well. - Van
@@jbean530 It is either a one time fee of $400 (which I do not recommend ) or pay $12 per month. The monthly includes a warranty on the controller and software updates for as long as you subscribe. Staying on top of this is no more difficult than paying your electric bill for your home. It is very important to note you would have to spend $3000 to get comparable product. - Van
The V4.1 has shown to fit many body types well so I would suggest trying one of those. We are not importing the Women's version as there is not enough volume to support the investment at this time. For sizing help please email maxvan@sportbiketrackgear.com - Van

Hey Brian ! Thanks for the well put video. Quick question : For track use is it no more beneficial to have an airbag that protect colar bones such as the AStar ? Cheers
This 100% crosses over the collarbone to protect it. Most collarbone breaks are caused when the helmet comes in contact with the collarbone. The in&motion prevents that contact by inflating in that area in addition to the chest and back. - Van
For anyone doubting RST cus you dont know them, the majority of riders in the Isle of Man TT, wear RST suits, yes of course its easier and cheaper for them because most of them are brits But dont think thats the only reason, think about it, those guys are doing the most dangerous thing you can do on a motorcycle, whyd they risk their lives by saving a couple thousand quid on a lesser product when their life is on the line? Doesnt make amy sense right? So, trust RST. I already liked the brand and trusted their products and watching this video only confirmed my beliefs. I unfortunately will likely never own any RST products cus theres no one retailing their products here in Brazil, but Id defo buy them if they were being sold here. Its a no brainer, cheaper than Alpinestars and Dainese, look than AStars products and are just as high quality
Eexcept full coverage of shoulder does airbag goes further and cover some portion of biceps? Asking because I had slow speed accident which ended very bad. If I had an airbag at that accident everything would ended good or at least way better than it did. Thanks
The In&motion airbag in this suit covers the chest, back and over the shoulders. The Alpinestars does go a little further down the shoulder but I would not say it is covering the bicep. I am not aware of an airbag that offers bicep coverage at this time nor am I aware of a jacket or a suit that would allow for a deployment of an airbag that is covering the bicep. - Van
My bad if this has been mentioned already but do you guys not review Dainese products? Value your opinions on gear but noticed I can’t find reviews on Dainese gear I’m interested in.
Hi Brian, will be you guys be getting the non airbag version later this year? I love RST and would love to add this suit to my collection. I have the tech air 5 so don’t need the airbag version.
Sorry, we did not order any of this model in the non-airbag version. We do have the Pro Series coming in both the airbag equipped and non-airbag versions. - Van
Is there any way to order a full custom fit suit from RST? I'm 6'5 and 200 (so off the shelf stuff doesn't fit at all), and so far the only major brand options I have found that offer that are Dainese and Rev'it (at least in the U.S.).
We have a shipment (should have already been here) that should arrive in the next week. Keep an eye on the site or put your email address in the out of stock notifier on the product listing. - Van
Is it possible to ride without the Airbag Unit (1 piece liner) ? So just the Shell with a normal undersuit ? I‘m riding on Track with the Airbag but don‘t really want to on the Streets. Cheers!
Out of stock :/ How do these size compared to a standard rst? I'm using a RST STG EVO 4 One Piece 46/56 right now. edit: Watched on site video, I'm similar size to you.... so, looks like pro 44/54
This V4.1 fits a little tighter than the STG EVO does with the Pro Series being very similar to the STG. We have all sizes of the V4.1 in stock now and will have all of the Pro Series here in about a week. - Van
I would put you in a 38 US for a tight race fit and a 40 US for a roomier, more comfortable fit. Really depends on how you like for your gear to fit. - Van
I’m coming home to Michigan next month for vacation. I want a suit but I’m a bigger guy. If I come in can yall help me with sizing? I do t want to order and guess size
I looked at the cortec and other 6-800$ suits , wound up getting the rst airbag suit for the same money. Found it on sale at a shop in Europe, 57$ shipping through DHL and it was here in two days. Like his kid said you have to spend double the money to get anywhere near better. Same with their race gloves, they make my astars that cost more look like flea market offbrand stuff.
This suit fits a wide range of people. We are not importing the Women's model because there are not enough sales to support the investment of bringing them in. - Van
We have used this for two seasons now and have a ton of customers in them with almost zero issues. If you want one that has no subscription there are options that cost more. - Van
Whats mental is someone will spend there money on a fancy part that does nothing and that money could pay for an airbag suit which could keep you out of hospital......mental😮
It's a happy meal a month geez. Maybe you should look at the cheap manual airbags in case your cheap tires slide and highside you. Every time I get the module out and charge it for a track day my phone does a full systems check, and automatically installs the latest software. They are continuously improving the product, the software and their warranty policy. I'm glad to pay the monthly fee to take advantage of this.
If you do not pay your electric bill at home they shut your power off... IMO a small monthly subscription like this is easy to manage and it offers the benefit of keeping the hardware updated and covered with warranty. - Van

Hi Brian, will be you guys be getting the non airbag version later this year? I love RST and would love to add this suit to my collection. I have the tech air 5 so don’t need the airbag version.
Sorry, we did not order any of this model in the non-airbag version. We do have the Pro Series coming in both the airbag equipped and non-airbag versions. - Van
Make a similar video for street use please
We are not bringing in any of their airbag jackets at this time. We are considering bringing them in for 2025. - Van
Is there any way to order a full custom fit suit from RST? I'm 6'5 and 200 (so off the shelf stuff doesn't fit at all), and so far the only major brand options I have found that offer that are Dainese and Rev'it (at least in the U.S.).
We are working on being able to offer this service but it will not happen until 2025. - Van
You guys are mostly sold out on the pro model. When do you expect to have it in stock?
We have a shipment (should have already been here) that should arrive in the next week. Keep an eye on the site or put your email address in the out of stock notifier on the product listing. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear you the man Van!
Is it possible to ride without the Airbag Unit (1 piece liner) ? So just the Shell with a normal undersuit ? I‘m riding on Track with the Airbag but don‘t really want to on the Streets. Cheers!
Out of stock :/
How do these size compared to a standard rst? I'm using a RST STG EVO 4 One Piece 46/56 right now.
edit: Watched on site video, I'm similar size to you.... so, looks like pro 44/54
This V4.1 fits a little tighter than the STG EVO does with the Pro Series being very similar to the STG. We have all sizes of the V4.1 in stock now and will have all of the Pro Series here in about a week. - Van
I'm 5 '4" about 150lbs would you recommend a size 38 or 40?
I would put you in a 38 US for a tight race fit and a 40 US for a roomier, more comfortable fit. Really depends on how you like for your gear to fit. - Van
Hi guys. I'm 191cm tall and thin, should i take the 54 EU size?
We would need a little more info. Please email in to orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and the team will help you work through this. - Van
I’m coming home to Michigan next month for vacation. I want a suit but I’m a bigger guy. If I come in can yall help me with sizing? I do t want to order and guess size
Yes, we have a showroom and tons of suits in stock. We are here Monday through Friday from 10am t0 6pm. - Van
Does RST do short/ tall sizing?
No, we do not have any sort or tall race suit sizes. That said we have found these to fit a ride range of people well. - Van
Damn I’m mad I bought my cortech suit now. Maybe I’ll pick this up for the 2025 year
I looked at the cortec and other 6-800$ suits , wound up getting the rst airbag suit for the same money. Found it on sale at a shop in Europe, 57$ shipping through DHL and it was here in two days.
Like his kid said you have to spend double the money to get anywhere near better.
Same with their race gloves, they make my astars that cost more look like flea market offbrand stuff.
These will be here when you are ready for your next one. Enjoy the Cortech. - Van
Is there a woman’s suit?! I know they have it over in Europe, it I haven’t seen it in the us yet.
This suit fits a wide range of people. We are not importing the Women's model because there are not enough sales to support the investment of bringing them in. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear :( this makes me super sad. There are no good women’s suits in the us. Every other country seems to have them though.
It is mandatory in MA by any full season rider. Has been for the last couple of years.
No one is checking and there are plenty of riders out there without. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear doesn't surprise me
I will never put my life in the hands of an airbag that can be turned off (I.e a subscription model)
We have used this for two seasons now and have a ton of customers in them with almost zero issues. If you want one that has no subscription there are options that cost more. - Van
Looks like RST is now doing custom fit suits for all riders finally. Off the rack suits don't fit me at all.
We are in talks to roll this out here in the US next season. Hope they are able to make this happen. - Van
Whats mental is someone will spend there money on a fancy part that does nothing and that money could pay for an airbag suit which could keep you out of hospital......mental😮
IMO everyone should have an airbag if they are interested in protection. - Van
Shame about their subscription BS. That's what kept me (and many, many other people) from buying a RST suit.
It's a happy meal a month geez. Maybe you should look at the cheap manual airbags in case your cheap tires slide and highside you.
Every time I get the module out and charge it for a track day my phone does a full systems check, and automatically installs the latest software.
They are continuously improving the product, the software and their warranty policy.
I'm glad to pay the monthly fee to take advantage of this.
If you do not pay your electric bill at home they shut your power off... IMO a small monthly subscription like this is easy to manage and it offers the benefit of keeping the hardware updated and covered with warranty. - Van
lol max is funny af
Please Jesus do not let him see this comment! - Van

Thanks for watching! - Van
