The Supertech Risen Jersey sits at the top of Alpinestars’ 2023 MX apparel lineup, sharing the same core engineering as the North edition with its own distinct visual identity. The full stretch mesh chassis is at the heart of what makes the Supertech range special. Every part of the main body is constructed from this material, which keeps overall weight down while ensuring airflow isn’t restricted to specific panels or zones — ventilation is delivered across the entire jersey.
Stretchnet zones cover the full torso and back, working alongside laser perforations to maximise airflow during intense riding. In hot conditions or during hard physical effort, that combination makes a meaningful difference to how comfortable you remain across a full moto. The material is also stretchable beyond what you’d get from a standard poly-fabric, supporting a wider range of movement without the jersey pulling or bunching.
Seamless construction is the other headline feature. Alpinestars have eliminated the side seams, elbow seams, and underarm seams that typically create friction points in riding jerseys. The bonded collar and cuffs mean there are no stiff edges pressing against skin or chest protectors. This isn’t just about comfort in isolation — it’s about reducing any distraction when you’re mid-section and need to focus entirely on the bike.
The race fit is tight by design, reflecting where the Supertech sits in the Alpinestars hierarchy. The extended back panel covers you when tucked forward, and the MXGP-inspired shoulder detailing gives the Risen its visual character alongside fade-resistant graphics.
The Supertech Risen is made for competitive MX and Supercross riders who race regularly and want kit that performs at the same level they do. Club racers, national-level competitors, and professional riders all feature in the Supertech’s target audience. It’s also an option for experienced recreational riders who train hard and want the same ventilation and comfort advantages that race kit delivers, without needing to compromise on any feature.
