Spidi Race One
The new style
of safety
Pietro Zanetti, Head of Research and Development at Spidi, takes us on a tour of the company, to discover how Race One, the 100% Made in Italy glove created in the Safety Lab, the Veneto-based company's laboratory where, in 1977, the first motorbike glove designed and curved according to the anatomy of the hand, was born
An extraordinary journey in the Valle di Chiampo, where leather processing is a true art. Starting here, from Spidi's laboratories in Sarego, we retrace the history of the new Race One gloves, from the materials to the sewing machine, exploring the creation processes and the impact and absorption tests in the use of different leathers and protective components.
With Race One we reinterpret the brand's sporty DNA, which since the 1970s has been dressing two-wheel champions like the everyday motorcyclist, combining it with stylistic research.
Available in black and white, Race One is characterised by elongated lines that reinterpret the concept of speed, recalling the acceleration and forces that these gloves are intended to challenge. Even the protectors placed on the glove are a balance between performance and style: obtained by direct injection and designed to dissipate shock in the event of impact, their design becomes a distinctive element.
