Pattern room · riding-position blocks
Run Moto Apparel is the custom motorcycle apparel manufacturer line of Wuhan Beiyi Network Technology Co., Ltd, a sportswear customization company working with Western teams, clubs and brands since 2011.
This page is about the company itself: how it is organised, which capabilities were built in which order, who signs what, and where we draw the line. The home page covers product ranges and the order workflow; here you find out whether you can work with us for years.
The company is built for group orders; single-rider retail is not a line we run
A team roster, a club chapter, a dealership's staff and customers, a brand's size run. The print room files color profiles by customer. The pattern room grades from one approved size to a whole run. Packing is by rider name or by size stack. None of this pays off for one jacket, so we do not sell one jacket.
Where it started: in 2011 with team uniforms, cycling wear and event apparel for clients in Europe, North America, the UK and Australia. Sublimation color management, roster-based team orders and small-run private label were daily work long before the first motocross jersey; the riding-gear line was built on that base with a leather workshop, riding-position blocks and CE-armor-pocket construction.
These are not gaps hidden behind vague language. Doing them badly would cost a customer more than not doing them at all.
Who we do sell to: race teams and clubs, karting centres and academies, powersports dealers and distributors, and riding-gear brands running OEM or private-label programs.
Each stage of becoming a motorcycle apparel manufacturer, described by what it let us do that we could not do before
The first years were team uniforms and cycling kits for European and North American clubs. What it taught us: colors must match across a whole roster and across reorders, so the color-profile archive and the physical color-strip check were built here, long before riding gear.
As orders grew from a dozen pieces to whole seasons, the size-sheet discipline came in: one line per rider, sizes confirmed in writing before cutting, garments packed by name. This is the same sheet a motocross team signs today.
Moving into motocross meant our flat sportswear blocks were wrong. New blocks were drawn from the attack position, tested on riders, and graded from youth to 4XL. This is the point where Run Moto Apparel became a riding-gear maker rather than a sportswear house printing bikes on jerseys.
Race suits and jackets needed skills the textile lines did not have: hide selection, skiving, heavy-duty seams, stretch-panel insertion, CE-armor pocket placement. A separate leather workshop was set up under the same management so a team could order textile and leather gear in one colorway.
Color profiles, graded pattern sets and fabric lot records were formalised into three archives per customer, so a club that comes back in two years gets the same jersey, not a close match.
The first riding jerseys fitted standing up and bound on the bike
When the first motocross orders came in, we cut them on cycling blocks. They looked right on the table and pulled at the shoulder the moment a rider leaned into the attack position. Rather than adding ease everywhere, the pattern room rebuilt the block from photographs and measurements of riders on their bikes.
The result is the block set we still grade from: longer back, forward sleeve pitch, stretch gusset under the arm, pre-shaped knee and stretch yoke on the pants.
Values written as decisions, not as words on a wall. Three conflicts that come up every season, and what we do each time.
If a batch cannot pass mid-line inspection and still make the race date, the team manager is told the same day and given the choice: a partial shipment of checked pieces, or the full order one round later.
If a dealer asks for helmets to complete a range, we say we do not make them and point to the lines we do.
Even when the print room is sure it remembers the color. The archive exists precisely for the days when everyone is in a hurry.
Color strips from the first season are kept on file under the team name.
What is on the floor, which process it serves and what it can and cannot make
Helmet and boot manufacturing, protector certification, and any motorcycle-parts machinery. Fabric and hardware come from a supplier network built over 15+ years, with lots recorded per order.
Wide-format sublimation printers and heat calenders for all-over printing on 140–160 gsm polyester mesh and other sublimation-grade fabrics; color profiles filed per customer.
Jerseys, motocross pants in 600D polyester, textile jackets, fleece hoodies at 280–320 gsm, polos and tees; 4-way stretch panel insertion and reinforced stress-point stitching.
Skiving and heavy-duty machines for 1.1–1.3 mm cowhide race suits, jackets and gloves, including stretch-panel insertion and external CE-armor-ready pockets.
Embroidery heads and heat-transfer presses in the same building as the print room, so a single order can carry sublimation, embroidery and transfer decoration without leaving the site.
A print can be perfect on paper and still shift when it meets the fabric
In sublimation, ink on transfer paper becomes gas under heat and pressure and bonds into the polyester. The color a rider sees depends on how evenly the calender holds temperature, pressure and dwell time across the full width of the panel and across every panel in the batch. A press that drifts a little from the first panel to the sixtieth produces sixty jerseys that are each fine and, side by side, do not match.
Four capabilities, where they came from and what problem each answers. None is an entry ticket; each is a specific construction or control a buyer can check on any motorcycle apparel manufacturer’s sample.
Hide selection and thickness: measured per hide, not assumed per batch
Cowhide varies within one shipment; the specification does not. Each hide is gauged at several points before cutting; a hide outside the range is not used for that suit, and a hide with a thin zone is marked so that zone is cut for a non-stress panel or set aside. Stretch panels, seams at the stress points and CE-armor pockets are sewn on heavy-duty machines by the leather team, not on the textile lines.
Written into the order record: which hides went into which suit, so a made-to-measure suit can be repaired or matched later.
What each room does, described so a visitor knows what they are looking at. Six rooms, in the order an order moves through them.
Roles in the order chain, and the sign-off each one owns. Six roles, one named owner per hand-off; the QC lead is the only one who can release a batch.
Owns the order from first message to the post-delivery window: feasibility answer, size sheet, ship date, and the single point of contact for the customer.
Turns logos, sponsor lists and tech packs into print-ready layouts and archives the cleaned files.
Owns fit: block selection, grading, the size-run set, and the questions that stop a wrong order early.
Owns color: profile creation, strip test, print approval photo.
Owns hide selection, construction and armor-pocket placement.
Independent of production. Owns the three inspection stages and the authority to stop a line.
Five intake questions that catch most wrong orders. The cheapest place to fix an order is before the first panel is cut.
Every hide for a made-to-measure suit is gauged at several points before it is cut.
Standards set by the approved sample, monitored by a QC lead who does not report to production
Inspection compares against these two, not against an inspector's opinion.
A rule that cannot stop production is a suggestion
After delivery: any issue reported within 7 days is decided within one business day — repair, remake or replace — and the decision is written down so both sides can point to it.
The hand-offs between roles, and what each one has to receive before it starts
Both are safety products with their own certification regimes and factories built around them. We would be a motorcycle apparel manufacturer reselling helmets and pretending to make them.
CE armor is a sourced component; we build pockets to standard armor sizes and fit armor on request, but the certificate belongs to the protector maker, and we say so.
Different trade, different tools.
The workshop is organised for group orders, and a retailer serves one rider better than we can.
For a motorcycle apparel manufacturer, long-term consistency is a sourcing problem before it is a sewing problem
A supplier network built over 15+ years. Sublimation-grade polyester, 600D shell fabric, fleece, cowhide, protector inserts and hardware come from suppliers developed since the company's sportswear years. Each order records the fabric lot and supplier, so a reorder can be checked against the recorded weight and hand.
Customer types and the cooperation modes each one uses. Described by type and model, not by name; we do not publish client names or logos without written agreement.
Season kits and club apparel ordered from a roster, with mid-season additions from the archive; team runs from 10 pieces per design.
Rental and instructor gear built for daily use; kart suits from 5 pieces per design, with a standing reorder path for replacement sizes.
OEM and private-label programs from a tech pack or reference garment; brands start at 50 pieces per style and scale on the same blocks.
Own-label size runs and staff wear, with batch color matching and reorders instead of holding a season of stock.
If you come to see the motorcycle apparel manufacturer behind your kit, this is what you will be shown
A visit is arranged through the sales manager and follows the order chain: the print room strip test against an archived strip, the cutting table where printed panels are matched to pattern pieces, the sewing line with a mid-line inspection in progress, the leather workshop gauging hides, and the packing area with an order laid out by rider name. Brands bring their tech pack and leave with a sampling plan; teams bring a roster and leave with a size-run schedule.
