Reviews & Tips
1. Near-compression factory rider fit makes it genuinely feel like a second skin rather than a jersey worn over one
2. Full stretch mesh chassis with Stretchnet zones on the full torso and back provides best-in-class ventilation
3. Improved ergonomic cut specifically engineered for enhanced body movement on the track
1. Very close race fit requires precise sizing — ordering without a try-on carries some risk
2. Ultra-lightweight construction trades some durability for performance in high-speed crash situations
3. Premium pricing compared to the Racer and Techstar tiers
The 2024 Alpinestars Supertech Dade Jersey represents the current high watermark of what the brand’s MX apparel division can produce. Factory Rider design language runs through every detail: the jersey uses an almost compression-style fit that goes beyond a standard athletic cut, sitting close to the body in a way that eliminates excess fabric without restricting movement. Alpinestars describe it as a second-skin feel, and when the ergonomic cut is this closely matched to the body’s riding posture, that description holds up.
The chassis is built entirely from advanced stretch mesh. The Supertech’s claim as Alpinestars’ lightest-ever MX jersey starts here: a full stretch mesh construction keeps overall weight to an absolute minimum while delivering the breathability that hard riding demands. Stretchnet zones covering the full torso and back take ventilation further, creating an active airflow system across the jersey’s entire body. Combined with strategically positioned laser perforations, the Dade manages heat as well as any MX jersey on the market.
Seamless construction is carried through from arms and shoulders to the underarms and sides, with no hard seam edges to create friction under chest protectors. The bonded collar and cuffs follow the same approach. The 2024 iteration improves on the already strong 2023 Supertech with revised ergonomic cuts designed specifically to enhance body movement on the track, ensuring that the jersey doesn’t limit the range of motion you need for technical sections.
Race-inspired detailing and fade-resistant graphics complete a jersey built to perform at the highest level.
The Supertech Dade is made for serious competitive MX and Supercross riders who want factory-grade apparel. Club-level racers through to national and professional competitors are the natural audience. It also suits experienced recreational riders who train hard and want the same ventilation, weight, and comfort advantages that race kit delivers without any compromise. If the budget stretches to the Supertech tier, the Dade justifies every penny.
