Reviews & Tips
1. Standard fitment on all Alpinestars leather suits — as the universal reference slider across the full suit range, these are the specification that Alpinestars designs its suits to work with
2. TPU compound construction provides a durable slider with good asphalt feel in turns, delivering the functional requirements of knee sliders at a price point that keeps replacement costs manageable
3. Shaped for optimal contact and even-wear distribution across the slider face, extending the useful life and providing consistent performance as the slider wears through track use
1. TPU compound versus the proprietary polymer of the GP Pro represents a specification step-down in the feeling and consistency of the slide at the limits of lean, which experienced track riders will notice
2. At £42.99, these are priced above budget alternatives in the market, though the Alpinestars quality standard and suit compatibility justify the premium over generic sliders
3. Slim profile, while contributing to lightweight design and feel, provides less total material for wear and therefore shorter overall slider life than deeper-profile alternatives
Standard fitment across the Alpinestars leather suit range is a significant specification statement. Every leather suit Alpinestars makes is designed and tested with the GP Sport Evo Knee Slider as its reference knee slider, which means the Velcro patch dimensions, the knee placement, and the overall suit geometry are optimised for this specific slider. When the time comes to replace sliders, fitting the same specification that the suit was built around is the logical starting point.
The GP Sport Evo is constructed from a durable TPU compound that provides the balance of durability and asphalt feel required for track and road riding. TPU’s properties give it sufficient structural integrity for the lateral loads experienced during corner lean while remaining flexible enough to conform to the asphalt contact surface and provide the tactile feedback riders use to gauge their lean angle. The compound wears progressively rather than suddenly, giving riders a consistent feel as the slider reduces in thickness through a season of use.
The slim, lightweight profile of the slider minimises the additional bulk on the knee and keeps the weight of the slider assembly as low as possible. The streamlined shape of the slider is designed for optimal contact with the asphalt surface across the range of lean angles experienced during circuit riding, and the shaped geometry provides even-wear distribution across the slider face.
Strong Velcro contacts on the back of each slider provide secure attachment to the Velcro patches on Alpinestars leather suits, and to other leather suits with compatible Velcro patch dimensions and positioning.
The GP Sport Evo Knee Sliders are for riders with Alpinestars leather suits who want the correct specification replacement slider at a sensible price, and for riders with other leather suits who want an Alpinestars quality slider at an accessible price point. They’re appropriate for recreational track day riders and sports riders who use knee sliders in corners but don’t ride at the level where the marginal feel performance of the GP Pro makes a meaningful difference.
