RST has announced its signing of Suzuki Ecstar MotoGP Test Rider and Suzuki Endurance Yoshimura SERT Motul team rider, Sylvain Guintoli.

Guintoli, a former World Superbike Champion and integral part of the Suzuki team that won the 2021 Endurance World Championship, will wear RST’s flagship airbag suit using In&motion’s airbag technology. 

Guintoli will debut his RST suit from Monday the 31st of January during testing for the 2022 MotoGP season in Malaysia. He said; “The racing products and the airbag technology has been moving on a lot in recent years. It feels like the right time. Everything is working well at RST right now and the suits are getting better and better. When you crash at 150mph, you need to have a suit that is going to take the abuse, take the sliding and tumbling. It’s very important, not only for performance, but for the safety of the riders.”

Zoe Turner, RST Race Department Manager, said; “It’s a fantastic signing for us. We’re so proud that a rider of Sylvain’s quality has trusted RST with his race suits for 2022. We’re looking forward to supporting him in the MotoGP and EWC season.”
