Function Meets Fashion For The Modern Rider
Urban motorcycling isn't just about getting from A to B. It's about expression, individuality, and staying comfortable in any environment — whether you're lane-splitting through morning traffic or walking into an afternoon meeting.
The old compromise is over. For decades, riders had to choose: wear a bulky jacket that screams "motorcyclist" or leave protection behind for the sake of looking human. Alpinestars ends that trade-off.
The latest urban lineup blends streetwear aesthetics with technical moto performance. These aren't costumes — they're purpose-built gear that happens to look like your favourite pieces from the wardrobe. Casual motorcycle jackets, protective riding jeans, and moto shoes that pass for high-tops.
The design philosophy is simple: every stitch informed by Alpinestars' decades of protecting riders in MotoGP, Supercross, and World Superbike, but executed with the sensibility of a contemporary fashion brand.
The Gear That Does It All
Three categories. Every ride covered. Each piece is built to handle the demands of city riding and the expectations of everyday life.
Mogress Air Jacket
Designed for warm-weather urban riding, the Mogress Air Jacket delivers airflow, style, and safety in one tailored package. City-ready silhouette with extensive mesh panels for ventilation — this is what commuting in summer should feel like.
- CE-certified impact armour
- Mesh ventilation panels
- Transitions bike to sidewalk
- Available in multiple colourways
Acteon Pants
A modern urban fit with moto-specific engineering underneath. Abrasion-resistant construction and integrated armour at key impact zones — all in a streamlined silhouette that draws zero attention to its technical pedigree.
- Abrasion-resistant fabric
- Integrated knee & hip armour
- Cargo pocket design
- Tapered regular fit
Speedstreet Shoes
The perfect balance between sneaker appeal and moto-grade protection. Reinforced at the ankle and toe with a low-profile sole optimised for both bike feel and urban walking. Riders who move between worlds wear these.
- Ankle & toe reinforcement
- Low-profile ergonomic sole
- Padded collar construction
- Four colourway options
More From The Urban Range
Beyond the core three pieces, Alpinestars' street-ready lineup extends into technical outerwear, riding denim, and layering pieces that work together as a system. Whether you're riding year-round or building a capsule wardrobe around your commute, there's a piece for every scenario.
The Provoke Jacket and Bryon WR Overshirt offer weather-ready solutions with clean, versatile silhouettes. For riders who prefer denim, the Copper V3 Denim Pants and Flex AST Cargo Pants bring riding protection into genuinely wearable trousers.
Alpinestars' women's motorcycle streetwear is built on the same uncompromising principles as the men's range — bold street aesthetics fused with technical performance, and the same CE-certified protection standards throughout. Equal engineering, purpose-built fit.
What To Look For In Urban Moto Gear
🪖 CE Armour Rating
Look for CE Level 1 as a minimum at shoulders, elbows, and knees. Level 2 certification at the back and hips is worth seeking out for regular commuting. Alpinestars armour meets European safety standards — not just lifestyle standards.
🛡️ Abrasion Resistance
The outer shell material matters as much as the armour. Look for abrasion-resistant textiles (EN 13595-tested) or reinforced panels at high-impact zones. These are what protect you if you go down, even at low urban speeds.
🚶♂️ Fit for Movement
Riding requires a different range of motion than walking. Good urban gear accounts for both — articulated knees, pre-curved sleeves, and stretch panels that don't bind when reaching forward on the bars but don't look strange off the bike.
𖣘 Ventilation Strategy
City riding means stop-start traffic, which means heat builds fast. Mesh panels, underarm vents, and moisture-wicking liners separate comfortable warm-weather commuters from sticky, miserable ones. Prioritise airflow if you ride in summer.
👟 Footwear Sole Profile
Riding shoes need to give enough feel for the pegs and controls while still being walkable. A sole that's too thick loses bike feel; too thin loses walking comfort. Look for a grippy, mid-profile sole with a defined heel to prevent foot slip on the peg.
🔀 Versatility & Styling
The best urban moto gear integrates with your existing wardrobe. Neutral colourways, clean cuts, and minimal branding all increase off-bike wearability. If you'd only wear it on the bike, it's not truly urban gear — it's just a less visible motorcycle jacket.
Upgrade: Tech-Air® 3 V2 Airbag System
For riders who want maximum confidence, Alpinestars' Tech-Air® 3 V2 is a standalone airbag vest that layers under or over compatible outerwear. Triggered in milliseconds by the onboard inertial sensor — no cords, no cables. It pairs with a wide range of the urban collection, adding a layer of protection that no armour alone can match.
Gear Up. Ride Out.

Is Alpinestars urban gear actually protective, or is it just styled to look like it?
All pieces in the urban range carry CE-certified impact armour — the same European safety standard used in dedicated motorcycle gear. Jackets include protectors at the shoulders and elbows; pants include knee and hip armour. The "streetwear" aesthetic is a design outcome, not a compromise on the engineering underneath.
What does CE Level 1 vs Level 2 armour mean for me?
CE Level 1 protectors absorb impact energy within defined limits and are standard across the urban range. Level 2 protectors — found in some back and hip zones — offer a higher level of energy attenuation and are worth prioritising if you commute regularly or ride at higher speeds. You can also upgrade to aftermarket Level 2 protectors in most pieces where the armour pockets allow it.
Are the fabrics abrasion-resistant, or just regular textiles?
Urban moto textiles use abrasion-resistant materials — not standard fashion fabric. Key zones (knees, hips, shoulders) are reinforced with higher-denier weaves or bonded panels tested to EN 13595 standards. This is what slows a slide in a low-speed off, giving the armour underneath time to do its job.
How should urban moto gear fit — like regular clothes or oversized?
Urban moto gear is cut for a dual purpose: it needs to allow full riding reach (forward-leaning position, arms extended) without pulling, but also sit naturally when you're standing or walking. Alpinestars urban pieces use articulated patterning and stretch panels to accommodate both. In general, size to your regular clothing size — don't size up to accommodate the armour. The armour is designed to sit inside the normal fit, not add bulk you need to compensate for.
Do the Acteon Pants work as everyday trousers off the bike?
Yes — that's the point of the design. The Acteon Pants use a tapered regular fit with cargo pockets and a clean waistband, meaning they read as contemporary casual trousers at a glance. The integrated armour sits flush against the body and doesn't create visible bulk. Many riders wear them through a full working day without removing them.
Are there women-specific fits, or is it all unisex sizing?
Alpinestars offers purpose-built women's pieces — not simply smaller versions of the men's range. The Daisy V3 Denim, Molly Air Jacket, Actea Women's Pants, and Stella Moshell Jacket are all cut to a women's pattern with the same CE-certified protection standards. Waist, hip, and shoulder proportions are designed specifically for the female form on a motorcycle.
