Brad Binder: MotoGP's Iron Man and the Gear Built for Grit
Share
Who Is Brad Binder?
Brad Binder is one of MotoGP's most inspiring stories. The Potchefstroom-born South African became the first rider from his country to win a MotoGP race — and he did it in style, crossing the line on his KTM RC16 in the Czech Republic in 2020 in just his second premier class start.
Binder is the embodiment of grit, determination, and loyalty. He's grown with KTM from the junior classes all the way to the factory team, and his commitment to the Austrian manufacturer is as unwavering as his commitment to every corner he attacks.
The Riding Style
Binder is a physically demanding, high-commitment rider. He's known for his exceptional bravery on the brakes and his ability to extract performance from a bike that doesn't always have the outright pace of the Ducatis. He fights for every tenth, every position, every point — and he rarely gives anything away without a battle.

Brad's style is tough, no-nonsense, and built for endurance. At EA Gears, we make leather that shares those values — crafted to last, built to perform, and never cutting corners.
