Alpinestars KMX-9 V3 Graphic 3 Race Suit Black/Red (FIA)

Alpinestars KMX-9 V3 Graphic 3 Race Suit Black/Red (FIA)

Built specifically for kart racing, the Alpinestars KMX-9 V3 Graphic 3 carries FIA 8877-2022 Grade 1 homologation, the standard for karting suits. The suit uses a two-layer arrangement: an abrasion-resistant outer shell paired with a soft knitted lining that draws moisture away from the skin. The result is a lightweight garment cut to the Athletic-Regular fit.

Airflow comes from Tech mesh panels placed under the arms and in the crotch area, while stretch inserts at the lower back and shoulders reduce restriction in the cockpit. Anatomically shaped panels across the arms, legs and torso follow the seated driving position. A metal YKK Premium zip with a double slider closes the front and allows the fit to be adjusted, and a waist belt offers further tightening. The evacuation handle is a new Alpinestars design inspired by F1, featuring a fully floating arm.

The Graphic 3 colourway sets a black base against a broad red band across the chest, which finishes on one side in a series of diagonal lines. Red panels run down the sides of the torso and along the sleeves, and one leg carries a vertical red stripe with the brand logo set lengthways and black slanted bars. Light grey shoulder inserts feature the Alpinestars star, a motif repeated on the waist belt and near the bottom of the leg. A stand-up collar and black cuffs at the wrists and ankles complete the outline. The back stays almost entirely black, with red accents at the sides and logo detailing along the sleeves and one leg.

The KMX-9 V3 Graphic 3 is offered in sizes 40 to 60 and suits drivers preparing for race weekends as well as regular training sessions on the kart track - a practical choice of motorsport equipment, and a considered gift for anyone racing karts.
