ARMALITH?: The Complete Guide to Performance Levels for Biker and Mobility Technical Fabrics

Safety is a major concern for all motorcyclists. With the ARMALITH? range, innovation and protection go hand in hand to offer high-performance fabrics adapted to various needs and riding styles. Let's discover the seven levels of this revolutionary technology.

The Armalith? technical denim range is classified into 7 levels according to the abrasion resistance of the different fabrics.

Performance is determined by a scientific reference system based on the two motorcycle standards in force:

• Cambridge 13 595-2: sliding distance (expressed in meters)
• Darmstadt 17 092: fall speed (expressed in Km/h).

Compared with CE A, AA and AAA standards, this new reference system offers transparency, reliability and, above all, legibility of abrasion performance.

1. MOBILITY 27 km/h

Ideal for everyday city travel at low speeds, this level offers serenity and durability for ultra-light, breathable garments :

• Protection against impact abrasion over a distance of 4m (13ft)?or following a fall at 27 km/h (17 mph), the Mobility segment is aimed at those who want a light but durable garment thanks to the exceptional resistance of Armalith? over time and washes.
• Ideal for everyday use and for soft mobility, including e-mobility, bicycle, skateboard, scooter, etc.

2. URBAN 45 km / h

Designed for urban use on motorized 2-wheelers, this level corresponds to grade A of the CE motorcycle standard.

• Abrasion protection over a distance of 8m (26ft) or following a fall at 45 km/h (28 mph). All the comfort and stretchability of Armalith? for urban explorers.
• Comfortable in the office, the Urban grade is recommended for motorized trips in town and fun leisure activities: e-scooter, e-skateboard, e-bicycle, electric moped, monowheel, BMX and moped.

3. ROAD TRIP : 70 km / h

This level is suitable for motorcyclists who travel between urban and rural areas, and corresponds to grade AA of the CE motorcycle standard.

• The Armalith? of escape. The Road Trip grade combines style and abrasion protection over a distance of 14m (46ft) or following a fall at 70 km/h (43 mph).
• Perfect for motorcycle cruising or for active leisure activities such as downhill skating, downhill mountain biking… Like the entire Armalith? range, its stretch can be appreciated in all circumstances.

4. FAST ROAD 90 km / h

For long distances or fast sequences, this level provides useful extra safety.

• The Fast Road label is the high-performance Armalith? to meet the expectations of long-distance touring enthusiasts or motorcycle commuters.
• Abrasion protection over a distance of 20m (66ft) or following a fall at 90 km/h (56 mph), this fabric makes no compromise on comfort to be easy to wear: breathable, light, hydrophilic and stretch.

5. HIGHWAY 110 km / h

A step up in performance and protection. In fact, a small increase in speed corresponds to a big increase in energy and therefore in the sliding distance consecutive to a motorcycle fall.

• Protection against abrasion over a distance of 32m (105ft) or following a fall at 110 km/h (68 mph), Armalith? reaches a milestone by surpassing leather (5).
• It is the meeting place for serenity and comfort for those who travel long-term and cover the kilometers, even at a sustained pace. Durable and eco-designed, like the entire Armalith? range.

6. TRACK 120 km / h

Designed for performers in rallying and other extremely demanding disciplines, this level corresponds to grade AAA of the CE motorcycle standard.

• Fruit of the latest advances from the Armalith? laboratory, the Track grade protects against abrasion over a distance of 40m (131ft) or following a fall at 120 km/h (74 mph). Its exceptional performance, always in a single layer, allows you to consider your Armalith? equipment instead of leather clothing.
• Open or rally road, there is only one denim that allows this: the Armalith? Track 120Km/h (74 mph)!

7. MOTO GP 120 km / h

The ultimate level of protection, designed for high-speed competitions where the risk of abrasion is maximum, offering uncompromising safety in extreme conditions.

• This is a peak of performance that only the Cambridge 13595-2 standard recognized by the FIM can measure! High Armalith? technology protects against abrasion over a distance of 56m (183ft).
• Its mechanical qualities are equivalent to or superior in all respects to the requirements set for lining up on the starting grid of a moto GP race… plus comfort!

Conclusion
