Design Meets Passion
Ricoò is an Italian brand, born from designer Fabrizio Ricupito's twenty years of experience in sports product design and his passion for everything motocross.
Driven by the "design meets passion" mantra, Ricoò has created several high quality sets of motocross gear. Functionality, wearability and comfort are the essential elements Ricoò strived to achieve with each of their product lines. Like many Italian products, high quality materials were a requirement, and they combine to make clean, aesthetically pleasing graphics and colors.
Let's dive into their product collections:
Th01
The Th01 line is one of contemporary inspiration with a technical image. It is made up of five outfits: black-yellow, white-red, white-light blue, black-green, and white-black-red.
The pants have internal knee protection made of a durable fabric containing kevlar. The air vents on the knee are designed to avoid water infiltration. Fabric spandex on the inside of the thighs and calves allows maximum range of motion, and at the hip there are two straps to adjust the fit. A rubberized band on the backside helps keep the jersey from coming untucked from the pants. There is also a latex label in the inside, which can be labeled with a pen to designate who the gear belongs to.
Ricoò pants have a similar fit as the other brands, but they are smaller around the legs and the butt (think slim fit).
The jerseys are made of 100% polyester, with excellent breathability.
The gloves have rubberized protectors on the tops. Mesh fabric on the top and between the fingers guarantees maximum breathability, and strips of silicon on the fingertips help with grip.
Th01 Materials:
- Pants: Cordura fabric, Poliestere, Spandex, side facing the knee in a tenacious fabric of synthetic fiber containing Kevlar
- Jerseys: 100% Polyester
- Gloves: back made of Polyester, breathable and elastic, palm in fabric 100% polyamide Microny
Prices:
- Pants Th01: EURO 172,50 including VAT
- Jersey Th01: EURO 60,50 including VAT
- Gloves Th01: EURO 54,50 including VAT
- Socks Th01: EURO 18,50 including VAT
While their prices are at the higher end of the gear spectrum, one must note that Ricoò's products are all produced in Italy.
V9
The V9 line is inspired by the past. It is characterized by clean graphics, and pants/gloves/jerseys are interchangeable according to preference.
The eight jerseys are available in light blue, white, orange, red, yellow, violet, blue and white/red/blue. Just like the Th01 gear, the V9 jerseys are made of 100% polyester.
V9 pants are available in three monochrome versions: blue, red and black; and a three color combination of white-red-blue, inspired by the American fashion in the 80’s. The pants have internal knee protection made of washable leather. Air vents located above the knees can be "screw" open or closed. Spandex fabric on the inside of the thighs and calves allows movements. Just like the Th01 series, there are two straps to adjust the fit, a rubberized band to prevent the jersey from coming untucked, and a latex label on the inside.
V9 gloves have a mesh material on the back and between the fingers for maximum breathability, and silicon on the fingertips aids with grip. These gloves are available in white-red, light blue, red, lime and black.
TG – 4P
Also available are the TG and 4P jerseys, which compliment the V9 line. The 4P jerseys are available in green and pink, and the TG in a checkered black/white graphic. They can be matched with the black V9 pants. The armholes on these two models are slightly different than the V9 line, utilizing a cut from the past. The TG has a net fabric on the back, ensuring maximum ventilation on hot days.

The WINTER V9i line is designed for cooler days, and is suited to 5 to 15 degrees Celsius. It consists of a vest and gloves made from a windproof fabric.
