Why Jett Lawrence’s MX Gear is Dominating the Track

If you've been watching the 2026 season, you already know Jett Lawrence isn't just riding fast - he's doing it in a kit that's been dialled in from the ground up. As a full Alpinestars factory athlete, virtually everything on his body, from the chin to the soles of his feet, is built and developed in direct collaboration with the brand.

Championship-level riding demands gear that disappears on the rider - light, ventilated, ergonomic, and protective. Alpinestars develops Jett's kit using pro feedback, lab testing, and race validation, so you benefit from the same technologies: precise fit, strategic stretch, abrasion resistance where it matters, and components that work together as a system.

• Breathable, laser-perforated fabrics keep you cool from gate drop to checkered flag.
• Targeted stretch zones and a pre-curved chassis optimise mobility on the bike.
• Integrated protection - from reinforced knee panels to advanced boot and helmet systems.

The gear combo is pulled from the Supertech and Techstar lines in the MX26 collection, and the emphasis is on mobility without giving up protection. The Techstar platform is built for race-day intensity: a lightweight poly-fabric blend, mapped mesh zones, and a pre-curved fit let you shift, scrub, and stand without restriction. Inner leather knee panels and a 3D knee construction improve grip and durability whether you're running braces or guards.

Zoned construction handles the protection side: ventilated panels sit where heat accumulates, while abrasion-resistant zones cover the high-impact areas. The standout safety feature is the AFD - Alpinestars Force Deflection - sliding zones built into the shoulders of the jersey, designed to reduce friction and injury risk in a crash. With strategic stretch panels and a pre-curved fit, the gear allows Jett to move fluidly, whether he's scrubbing jumps, railing ruts, or making late-race passes.

• Strategic stretch panels for uninhibited body position changes.
• Laser perforations + open-mesh ventilation for heat management.
• Ergonomic chassis with reduced bulk to minimise drag.
• AFD (Alpinestars Force Deflection) sliding shoulder zones for crash protection.

The helmet is the jewel of Jett's Alpinestars setup, and this season the R01 Edition turns heads even before the gate drops. Developed alongside Jett directly, it features a vivid colorway of lilac purple, flame orange, and fluorescent yellow - a deliberate callback to '90s custom paintwork - finished with chrome Alpinestars logos.

Beyond the graphics, the M10 is Alpinestars' flagship MX lid. The Supertech M10 shell platform features a lightweight construction, multi-density EPS liner, A-Head fit system, optimised collarbone clearance, emergency release cheek pads, and maximised ventilation. Crucially, each shell size has its own dedicated shell mold rather than relying on padding to adjust fit — a detail that pays off in comfort and safety over a full moto.

The design also filters down into the SM3 Adult and Youth versions, carrying Jett's signature and his beloved donut graphics - consistent with the fun, fan-first personality he brings to the sport.

This is where the Alpinestars safety ecosystem really stacks up. Jett runs the A-4 PLASMA chest protector combined with the integrated Nucleon KR-3 back protection - a modular system that can be configured for different conditions and track types without sacrificing coverage.

The Bionic PLASMA LT jacket layers on top as needed, while the SX-1 PLASMA knee protectors round out the lower body protection with reinforced asymmetric frames built to absorb and redirect impact. The whole system is designed to work in concert with the AFD zones in the jersey - everything integrated, nothing redundant. Its modular design allows adjustments for different weather conditions or track types, ensuring Jett stays both agile and safe.

• A-4 PLASMA chest protector + Nucleon KR-3 back protector: Modular top-tier impact protection with customisable coverage.
• Bionic PLASMA Light jacket: Layered over the top when conditions demand it.
• SX-1 PLASMA knee protectors: Reinforced asymmetric frames that absorb and redirect impact.

Goggles: Worth noting that Jett's goggles are the one exception to the all-Alpinestars kit. He runs 100% ARmatic goggles through his separate partnership with 100%, in a Jett Lawrence Limited Edition pack that blends his iconic #18 with his reigning #1.

Winning in style is part of Jett's identity - clean, confident, and impossible to miss on track. Alpinestars captures that energy with custom graphics, limited edition drops, and cohesive colorways designed to stand out in the pits as much as on the track. Pair your jersey and pants with Tech 10 Boots and the Supertech M10 Jett Lawrence R01 Helmet for a head-to-toe look that performs as good as it looks.

The limited edition boot drops tie it all together. Most notably, the "Champ" LE boots in Purple/Gold were worn exclusively by Jett on his championship night, celebrating his 450 SX title win. They've become instant collectors' items.

• Bold color blocking for visibility on track and in the pits.
• Limited drops and rider signature editions throughout the season.
• Mix-and-match palettes to coordinate boots, gloves, and helmets.
• Championship LE colorways tied to milestone race moments.

Alpinestars works directly with elite athletes to fine-tune every stitch and seam. Track testing informs fabric mapping, stretch placement, and ventilation. The MX26 gear collection is race-developed with input from Jett Lawrence and other top professional riders, and the result is gear that responds instantly to rider input and holds up to the demands of gate drops, ruts, whoops, and full motos.

• Athlete-tested, lab-validated materials - refined through continuous feedback from Jett and the world's fastest riders.
• Refined patterning for brace compatibility and knee articulation.
• Continuous updates driven by rider feedback and race data.
• Every piece is engineered for performance, safety, and style - working in concert to maximise control, comfort, and protection.
