A long tradition of world class riders have been collaborating with Spidi from the late 70s. From the 500 days to the modern MotoGP riders, from Freddie Spencer to Marco Melandri, we supported riders with the most advanced technology, safety devices and worked alongside them to improve the motorbike experience for everyone

The relationship with riders is not simply a way of sponsoring: it is an exchange focused on the improvement of our products. For Spidi, the sport success goes together with the technological one. An example of this cooperation is the improvement of the HYDROBACK system. This innovative bag with the necessary supply of hydrating liquid for a whole MotoGP race has been inserted inside the hump. Thanks to a mechanical valves system linked to a special straw, the rider is able to drink no matter how fast he is, whenever he feels to. This particular bag is integrated in the polyurethane hump that protects the back, and it contains liquids (sport drinks or water) for 500cc. Now, with several improvements, Spidi launched even in the mass production the system, introducing it in the aerodynamic appendix also on standard professional suits.
