24h LE MANS 2026

The 2026 FIM Endurance World Championship season kicked off with the traditional 24-hour race in Le Mans, a true test not only for the motorcycles but also for the riders and their gear. We couldn’t miss it of course. This extreme race is the toughest real-time test for our suits.

The factory team BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team, along with satellite squads supported by BMW, entered the season with one goal: to win. From the very first moment, it was clear that our riders had ambitions to fight for the win.

> 4SR rider Steven Odendaal said before the start: “I’m really looking forward to the 2026 season. We have last year’s data, we know where to improve, and the goal is consistent performance to reach the top.”

> Hannes Soomer saw the season start as a key step: “It’s my first full superbike season. I felt good in the team from the beginning, and I believe we have a strong rider lineup. Le Mans will be a big challenge for us.”

And the opening race confirmed BMW’s real strength. In the Superstock class, the Champion-HERT #38 powered by MRP squad on the BMW M 1000 RR took victory, fully equipped in 4SR suits.

The factory superbike squad #37 BMW Motorrad World Endurance also made a strong impact. They set the pace for a long time and led until the second half of the race. Technical issues eventually dropped them to 4th place overall. 

The season opener confirmed two things: the speed is there, and so is the potential to fight at the very top of endurance racing.

We thoroughly test and refine 4SR suits directly in real racing conditions. That’s why we take part in every race. Every kilometer on track gives us precise feedback from experienced riders, which we immediately transfer into the development and production of our suits.

Why do we do it? Because we continuously invest in development to make our suits even better. Our goal is to offer every rider the same level of safety and comfort as the topro factory riders. You can order your own suit with factory DNA >HERE<
