An undersuit like REV’IT!’s Excellerator 2 always elicits mixed emotions. Real men cover themselves in talcum powder completely, standing on a chair before jumping into their motorcycle racing suit, held open by two assistants. Right? To then sprinkle an entire pot of ground peppers over their heads.
Well, no. Especially because nowadays, you don’t have to. The Excellerator 2 is like second skin – a very budget-friendly one in this case – avoiding the wonderful feeling of cowhide rubbing your bare skin. The Excellerator 2 is also a moisture-wicking underlayer granting a whole new level of comfort during high performances.
This means that the Excellerator 2 is not an additional warm layer. Forget about the pepper. It won’t hurt but its primary function is preventing your motorcycle boots from soaking with sweat during sporty performances. The choice of material was made with that in mind. Seams and anatomy were evidently top of mind.
Putting on this undersuit is the easiest thing you’ll do on a track day. Everything is stretchy and the thumb and ankle loops keep everything where it should be, allowing you to slide into your racing suit like an eel to then never have to gasp for air like a fish out of water because you feel like you’re drowning in sweat and moisture, while watching your lap times fade.
You get it.
We’d understand if you’d feel the urge to get on your motorbike with nothing but the Excellerator 2 but that’s a bad idea. An undersuit is made for comfort, not safety.
