Reviews & Tips
1. Fluid line technology leverages construction features from the Supertech, Techstar, and Racer lines — giving new and recreational MX riders access to performance-derived materials and construction at an accessible entry price
2. Athletic sport fit across both jersey and pants provides a comfortable, functional riding position without the close race cut that can restrict movement for newer riders still developing their body position
3. Matched jersey and pants in the Graphite graphic creates a coordinated kit appearance from a single purchase — a practical advantage for riders who want to look the part without the complexity of mixing individual pieces
1. 2024 spec means this is last year’s graphic line — riders who want the current 2025 or 2026 graphics will need to look at more recent releases, though the construction specification is still current
2. Fluid tier positions itself below the Racer, Techstar, and Supertech lines in terms of construction complexity — riders who progress quickly may want to move to the Racer tier sooner than expected
3. At £141.99 for the set, this is still an investment for genuinely new riders who are uncertain about continuing with the sport
The first riding kit purchase is often the most important one: the gear needs to be good enough to support the riding experience rather than limiting it, but accessible enough to be justified before the commitment to the sport is fully established. The Alpinestars 2024 Fluid Graphite Gear Set is designed specifically for this entry point — applying construction features from the Supertech, Techstar, and Racer lines to a kit that new and recreational MX riders can access without investing at the top of the range.
The Fluid Jersey is built around an advanced lightweight, breathable, and durable poly-fabric main chassis in an athletic sport fit. The sport fit provides the room needed for comfortable riding in the full range of MX body positions without the close race cut that can restrict movement or feel constricting for riders who are still developing their body position on the bike. The construction is engineered for optimised comfort and riding functionality rather than the marginal performance optimisation of the race-tier jerseys.
The Fluid Pants share the same poly-fabric lightweight chassis approach, adding stretch corduroy panels at the key articulation zones for freedom of movement, and a pre-curved leg design that follows the natural MX riding position profile from the factory. The optimised levels of performance, comfort, and freedom of movement in the riding position are delivered through the same construction philosophy as the higher tiers, scaled appropriately for the recreational riding context.
Both the jersey and pants are designed to match each other in the Graphite graphic line, providing a coordinated kit appearance from a single purchase rather than requiring individual matching across separate jersey and pant purchases.
The 2024 Fluid Graphite Gear Set is for new riders starting out in MX, recreational riders who ride occasionally rather than competitively, and budget-conscious riders who want Alpinestars quality in a matched kit at an accessible price. The athletic sport fit and Fluid tier specification make this appropriate for riders still developing their body position and building their confidence on the bike.
