Since the 65cc, we’ve been following Jo Shimoda’s career with great hope. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right protection.
June 2020 For the first time in our history, RXR Protect stands on the podium of the AMA Supercross Championship with our driver Jo Shimoda! Jo, who uses the R-pro under his jersey, finishes 3rd in the championship and Rookie of the Year!
The road to the top is a long one, requiring self-sacrifice and courage.
A great, long career calls for choices, and giving priority to safety is one of them.
Jo has always trusted us and never stopped wearing our protective gear.
Winning the trust of a pro rider through the field is a source of great pride for us. For the RXR team, the truth of the terrain, fall after fall, remains the best form of recognition.
April 2021, first victory for Jo Shimoda and RXR Protect in AMA Supercross.
We’ve already won the world championship with Dylan Ferrandis, and today we’re showing once again that protection doesn’t prevent performance.
Jo Shimoda will be the 1st RxR rider we have accompanied from his first amateur race in 65 cm3 to his first professional race.
In this story, we’re still proud that Jo Shimoda didn’t leave our vests for performance reasons, but only for contractual reasons.
Our policy has always been to convince drivers by our performance, not by our monetary sponsorship contracts.
