EN 17092 is the European safety standard for motorcycle clothing, rating garments across five protection levels based on abrasion resistance, impact protection, and seam strength.

Level AAA is the highest, designed for high-speed riding and track use.

Level AA suits most road riders and offers strong all-round protection.

Level A is entry-level certified protection, appropriate for urban and casual riding.

Level B covers garments that provide impact protection but limited abrasion resistance — typically armoured jeans or casual riding pants.

Level C is the lowest tier, offering minimal protection and best suited for low-speed urban use. Understanding these ratings helps riders choose gear that matches their riding style and the risks involved.
