Alpinestars Bionic Karting Rib Protector

Engineering meets impact resistance in the Alpinestars Bionic Rib Protector. Designed specifically for the high-G environment of competitive karting, this protector provides a rigid shield for the ribs and kidneys without the bulk. The dual-density construction features a robust PE hardshell reinforced with a fiberglass core, specifically tuned for maximum shock dispersion. Wrapped in high-durability Cordura, the Bionic uses an intelligent adjustment system to ensure a precision, "set-it-and-forget-it" fit that stays secure through every hairpin and curb-strike.
