Alpinestars GP Force Lurv Leather Suit

Men’s armored sportbike leathers with trackday flexibility

The Alpinestars GP Force Lurv leather suit combines a subdued black finish with protective equipment and a close sport-riding cut. Its one-piece bovine leather chassis uses additional layers in exposed areas, while stretch sections allow the rider to bend into a forward position. White graphics give the dark paneling a distinct visual identity.

What comes fitted

• GP Lite armor: CE Level 1 protectors at the shoulders, elbows and knees.
• Hip protection: Bio-Flex inserts supplied as part of the model’s protective equipment.
• Shoulder surfaces: Integrated DFS Lite external protection.
• Knee contact: External slider pucks with Alpinestars star branding.
• Airbag accommodation: Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 10 compatibility; systems sold separately.

Alpinestars specifies an AA garment classification under EN 17092-3:2020 for the Lurv. This is separate from the Level 1 rating of its GP Lite joint protectors. Compare model-specific equipment across our Alpinestars leather racing suits.

White branding, dark paneling

A broad white Alpinestars wordmark sits above the oversized outlined chest star, with the center zipper running through the front layout. Charcoal sections shape the upper torso and shoulder areas, while black side inserts follow the waist. White sleeve lettering and star graphics continue toward the wrists, and the short collar keeps the neckline compact.

The rear has a tapered upper-back panel with vertical Alpinestars lettering, contoured charcoal sections and ribbed inserts near the shoulder blades. A star and Tech-Air Ready marking sit across the lumbar accordion band. Oversized lettering spans the seat, with another outlined star on the outer thigh. Above the knee sliders, horizontal accordion folds articulate the legs; long black inserts run down the rear calves.

Airflow without bulk

Perforated hip and leg panels introduce ventilation into this black leather track suit. Technical stretch is positioned beneath and inside the arms, through the inner thighs and crotch, and behind the lower legs. Leather accordion sections at the knees and lower back add flexibility where the riding posture bends the suit.

Matching your measurements

Use the GP Force Lurv manufacturer’s sizing information alongside your chest, waist, hip and height measurements. The gallery illustrations can help locate measuring points. Check the fit with your intended base layer and protective equipment, making sure the torso allows a riding crouch and the armor stays aligned. For product-specific guidance, ask about the Lurv’s measurements before ordering.

If you are preparing for a scheduled trackday, review our shipping and customs information when planning your purchase.

Routine upkeep

Follow the suit label first. Dust the leather, collar and white markings with a soft cloth, testing any approved cleaner on a concealed area. Let the lining, stretch inserts and accordion folds air out after riding. Clear grit gently from sliders, shoulder surfaces, zipper tracks, cuffs and ankle openings; have damaged protective components assessed. Store the shoulders and raised back section on a strong, broad hanger without compression. Avoid soaking, machine washing, bleach, ironing and tumble drying.

After moisture exposure, our guidance on drying leather after rain explains general shell care. Apply the suit’s own instructions to its leather, armor and any separately fitted airbag.

Practical FAQs

What is the difference between the AA classification and Level 1 armor?

AA refers to the garment’s classification under EN 17092-3:2020. Level 1 refers to the specified GP Lite shoulder, elbow and knee protectors. They describe different aspects of the equipment and should be checked separately on the supplied labels.

Which airbag systems are specified for the GP Force Lurv?

Alpinestars lists Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 10 compatibility for this model. Select one compatible system and follow its instructions for fit and expansion clearance. Airbags are additional purchases; the Tech-Air Ready marking does not indicate an installed airbag.

Where does this black race suit allow cooling air through?

Perforated leather at the hips and legs provides ventilation, complemented by technical stretch sections around the arms and lower body. Airflow depends on riding conditions and the layers worn underneath; perforation is not a waterproof barrier.

Are the helmet, gloves and boots in the photographs included?

No. This listing is for the GP Force Lurv one-piece leather suit. The helmet, gloves, boots and motorcycle shown in the lifestyle photographs illustrate a complete riding setup and are not included.

Can a regular tailor resize the armor pockets or stretch sections?

Have fit problems assessed by Alpinestars or a specialist in motorcycle protective clothing before altering the suit. Changes to structural seams, stretch zones or protector pockets can affect armor placement and airbag clearance.
