The most experienced rider in our stables was born in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, on 5th July 1986. Pirro started his career on 125cc bikes in 2003 and became back-to-back champion of the Italian Superstock class in 2007 and 2008.

2010 and 2011 saw Michele participate in the Moto2 championship, where he secured a pole position and two podiums, one of which was a victory. After only two years of competing in Moto2, the Italian made the step to MotoGP. Of his fourteen years in MotoGP, Michele spent most of his time on a Ducati, primarily testing and developing.

Aside from several Wildcards to participate in different events, Pirro can also be found competing in the Italian Superbike (CIV) series. He has ridden over 100 races, and has won over 70 races and multiple CIV championships.

Working together with (experienced) professional athletes such as Michele enables us to develop our gear based on their priceless feedback, resulting in innovative and high-quality gear for both track and road. Teamwork makes the dream work.

We also support the youngest fanatics of the sport through the Race Kids motorsports academy. Despite being made for the smallest sizes, the suits and gloves are far from immature: they are held to the same safety standards as the adult versions. This way, we can ensure a safe and fun introduction to the sport.

Race Kids are located in the Netherlands, where they introduce children of 7 years and older to riding motorcycles. Kids ride on mini bikes, but it is also possible to ride a shifter bike for those who’ve outgrown the mini bikes.

The organisation provides the motorcycle to ride on, a MACNA suit to wear during the day, and of course the needed guidance.

Being real motorcycle freaks it doesn’t come as a surprise that we love motorcycle racing.

For many years we’ve been supporting riders in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, Moto-E and many other championships around the globe.

This year is no exception, and we’ve even had the pleasure of adding some more talent to our racing family!
