Rukka R-Viss trousers in black Product Information
The Rukka R-Viss is a new-for-2025 suit in the Rukka range that has introduced to replace the now-discontinued Rimo-R. Rukka has positioned the R-Viss as an off-road-oriented, adventure suit. But we do not consider any suit with a waterproof membrane to be appropriate for riding in hot weather, or in conditions where you are generating heat off road. Which is why we consider the R-Viss to really be a touring or commuting suit in the adventure aesthetic.
But don’t let that get in the way. These are great pants with the kind of features that are going to work for a lot of people.
Talking about motorcycle pants is always less exciting than talking about motorcycle jackets. The jacket sets the tone. The jacket defines the aesthetic. What the jacket protects is more vital. And the jacket is the important half when it comes to ensuring that you stay dry, warm or cool when you're riding. To an extent, the legs just come along for the ride!
Of course, the pants are still important. They're usually just a little less interesting.
There’s a menu of features that Rukka has at its disposal when putting a pant together. So let's first go through the things that the R-Viss pants have that you often find on other Rukka pants.
Well, as with the jacket there's the 2-layer Gore-Tex, laminated membrane. So no wetting out. And guaranteed waterproofing for life. And in the hips and knees you get the same huge, Level 2, D3O armour that is made exclusively for the Finnish brand. To hit the AA mark, the pants feature Cordura 500 overlays on the knees and hips, in the same way that they featured on the elbows and shoulders of the jacket.
Rukka's AirCushion and Antiglide systems feature in the seat. You get leather panels running up the insides of the legs. Both to protect against the heat of a high-level exhaust. But also to improve purchase on the tank.
As the R-Viss has adventures on its horizon, you get two large cargo pockets, and a small zip pocket for change and stuff. The thigh vents are both incoming and outgoing. The double waist adjusters are simply stronger and more useful than the ones you get on most motorcycle pants. The elasticated waist band also helps you to find the right setting.
What you don't get with the R-Viss is braces; and frankly you really need them when you have a pant with armour this big. So Rukka, please stop messing about. It's not big. It's not clever. It's just annoying, and wastes everybody's time. All your pants should come with braces.
There's a tiny bit of concertina banding in the waist at the back that serves to ease the pressure on the jacket as you lean forward on the bars. But there are no stretch panels elsewhere, not even in the crotch. And this is unusual with a Rukka pant. Clearly the thinking here is that as these pants have a baggier, off-road fit, a stretch component is not so important.
And indeed the pants do have a wider leg, designed to accommodate even the largest, off-road boots. And so this would suggest that, even though we don't see the R-Viss as a serious off-road suit, Rukka designed the pants very much with the adventure aesthetic in mind.
As with the jacket, there's lots of hi-viz going on. You also get, obviously, the matching zip for connecting the two halves together.
What you don't get, and wouldn't expect, is any kind of thermal lining. But what you do get is three leg lengths.
