RST Renews Partnership with Isle of Man TT as Official Safety Partner

As a brand committed to pushing the boundaries of motorcycle safety and performance, we’re honoured to continue our support of this legendary event, providing cutting-edge protective gear and ensuring that riders can perform at their best with the confidence that they’re fully protected.

Why the Isle of Man TT Matters to RST

The Isle of Man TT is much more than just a race; it’s a cornerstone of motorcycle culture and history. This event, with its storied 37¾ mile Mountain Course, challenges riders to navigate some of the most demanding terrain at speeds exceeding 200 mph. For over a century, the TT has been the ultimate test of a rider’s skill, endurance, and courage. But with such high stakes comes an equally high demand for safety.

For us at RST, the TT represents the perfect proving ground for our products. The extreme conditions of the course require gear that not only meets but exceeds safety standards, and we take pride in knowing that our equipment plays a crucial role in protecting the riders who take on this iconic challenge.

Our Commitment to Rider Safety

Safety has always been at the heart of RST. Our mission is to develop and deliver the most advanced motorcycle clothing and accessories, allowing riders to push the limits while staying protected. Renewing our partnership with the Isle of Man TT allows us to reinforce this commitment on one of the world’s biggest stages.

As the Official Safety Partner, we’re not just providing gear—we’re providing peace of mind. Our extensive range of protective clothing is designed with the specific needs of riders in mind. From full factory race suits to airbag systems that deploy in milliseconds, our products are engineered to offer the highest levels of protection without compromising on comfort or performance.

Our Vice President, Stuart Millington, perfectly captures our dedication to this partnership: “We are thrilled to renew our partnership with the Isle of Man TT. Safety is at the core of our mission, and the TT is the ultimate proving ground for our products. Our continued collaboration ensures that our riders, traveling marshals, and rider liaison officers are equipped with the best possible gear, allowing them to focus on their performance while we focus on their protection.”

Collaborating with TT Legends to Innovate

Our relationship with the Isle of Man TT goes far beyond a traditional sponsorship. It’s a collaboration that drives innovation and pushes us to constantly improve our products. We’re incredibly fortunate to work closely with TT legends like Ian Hutchinson, Lee Johnston and Conor Cummins, who bring invaluable experience and insights to the table. Their feedback has been instrumental in the development of our RST Airbag range, a product line that represents the pinnacle of motorcycle safety technology.

Hutchinson, Johnston and Cummins have all faced the immense challenges of the TT course, and their input helps us to ensure that our gear is up to the task. The RST Airbag system, for example, offers unrivalled protection by deploying within milliseconds to shield vital areas like the chest, back, and neck. It’s this kind of innovation that allows us to confidently stand by our products and know that they’re making a real difference on the track.

As Millington adds, “Our collaboration with the TT goes beyond mere sponsorship—it is integral to the development of our products. Our TT riders have played crucial roles in the creation of our Airbag range. We are excited and honoured to continue our valued partnership with the TT.”

Expanding the RST TT Collection

While our primary focus is on the safety and performance of our racing gear, we also recognise the passion that fans have for the Isle of Man TT. That’s why we’re proud to produce a range of official TT clothing inspired by the iconic sections of the Mountain Course, such as Hillberry and Brandish corners. These jackets, part of our overall collection, are designed for riders and fans who want to carry a piece of the TT spirit with them wherever they go.

These garments are more than just clothing; they’re a celebration of the history and tradition of the TT. Whether you’re hitting the road or simply showing your support for the world’s most famous motorcycle race, our TT Collection offers something for everyone. You can explore the full range on our website or through your local RST dealer.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

Our partnership with the Isle of Man TT is built on a foundation of shared values—safety, performance, and a deep respect for the sport of motorcycle racing. We’re not just here to sponsor an event; we’re here to make a difference. By providing top-tier protective gear and working closely with the TT community, we’re helping to ensure that this legendary race continues to thrive for years to come.

The renewed partnership underscores our ongoing commitment to rider safety and our belief in the importance of continuous innovation. As we look to the future, we’re excited about the possibilities that this collaboration will bring, both for our products and for the TT itself.

Paul Phillips, TT Business Development manager added, "The Isle of Man TT Races welcomes the renewal of the RST as Official Safety Partner and Title sponsor for the Superbike Race. It’s important that our partnerships strategically align with our brand values and offer further added value to the development of the whole event as well as our riders and fans. Prioritising rider safety and performance is a core part of the TT's strategic approach to event safety and RST have played an important role in the implementation of a number of initiatives to date and thanks to this continued partnership, I believe there will be more collaborative developments to come in the future."
