How does certification work for motorcycle clothing?

On the road, good motorcycle clothing is synonymous with a good riding experience. To classify them, their mechanical resistance, i.e. abrasion resistance, tear resistance and seam strength, is tested. The European standard ranges from C to the highest safety level AAA. Class A stands for "light", AA for "medium" and AAA for "heavy". To determine which resistance class applies, there are various tests that mimic contact with asphalt. Three risk zones are assessed: Risk zone 1 is the most severely affected zone such as shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. Risk zone 2 is the back, arms, buttocks and outer legs. The third risk zone contains the areas that are least at risk of falling: Abdomen, chest, inside of the arms and legs. 

Zone 1 of motorcycle clothing class AAA is tested at speeds of up to 120 km/h. The special machines simulate sliding on asphalt. For comparison: Class AA motorcycle clothing is tested at 70 km/h and Class A at 45/h km. 

Approximately AAA standard for AA motorcycle clothing

Your motorcycle clothing performs one of the most important safety tasks. Every motorcyclist who wears high-quality biker clothing can ride with more concentration thanks to the comfortable fit. This increases their ability to avoid a fall and injuries. If motorcycle jackets and pants "only" had to be robust, it would be child's play to manufacture them. However, THE ROKKER COMPANY places exceptionally high demands on comfort and flexibility. For us, safety also means freedom of movement and a good riding experience, which is why we use materials that combine robustness and comfort. We offer jeans and jackets with the highest certification and our AA motorcycle clothing is also at the AAA limit. In tests, we exceed the required load limit at 70 km/h and come very close to the 120 km/h limit.
