An extraordinary woman, an extraordinary life story, boundless energy, forever connected heart and soul to motorsport. Veronika Hankocyová, the Queen of road racing. A life on two wheels is quite the ride for this lady who fell for the smell of gasoline. She challenges herself on the most demanding of tracks such as the Isle of Man, British and Czech road racing tracks being her second home. She has earned the right to be known as a “Road Racing Queen”

Libor Podmol freestyle motorcyclist. A man well known for his stunts, as well as many injuries, it may be asked if motorcycle safety is his priority. So what led him to PSí HUBÍK, the manufacturer where safety is the number one concern? In the article below you can find the thoughts of Libor Podmol, the Dakar rider and Libor Hubík, the motorcycle clothing designer.

Za více než třicet let praxe v PSí Hubík víme, že je obrovský rozdíl v životnosti a funkčnosti motooblečení, pokud se o něj poctivě staráte. Aby vaše výbava na motorku tedy dlouho a dobře sloužila, je potřeba se o ni během sezóny starat a po sezóně ji nejlépe pořádně vyčistit a zazimovat.

We love challenges! When we were approached to participate in the ‘100 Years Of Zlin Design’ project, we didn’t hesitate. The proposition of making a new suit to a completely different specification to our norm, appealed to us greatly.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A custom suit design can represent not only your style … but also your life story. As perfectly shown here in a, one of, design for Libor Hubik, the founder of PSí, by Jakub Paleček, of EXD Airbrush & Graphics.

PSí HUBÍK made not only the TOP 10 Zlin Region finalists, in the IBM company of the year, but also the podium in securing third place! We are delighted the expert jury recognised, and appreciated, our company which is founded on the honest work values of Czech people.

When does a motorcycle rider need to be seen even more than normal? The general answer is in times of reduced visibility due to environmental conditions. As such we present the SCILIF SunFibre fibre optical cable, which is a unique lighting system that immediately raises visibility, at the touch of a button.

„Supporting the young competitors in Brno is something we do from the heart “, says Libor Hubík, the founder of PSí, adding: „It doesn’t matter if they will become professional racers or not, they are boys, who love motorcycles.“

This year’s Dakar Rally marked a certain first in its history, but in what way? 2021 was the first year that competitors, just as in Moto GP, were obliged to have airbag protection. As to just how the airbag manufacturers, and the riders themselves handled it, we spoke to PSí brand ambassador Tomáš Kubienou about his, and his Lithuanian colleague Laisvydas Kancius, experience.

The Český Goodwill (Czech Goodwill) project awards "Corporate Oscars" focussing on entrepreneurs, and companies that are particularly noted for their responsible approach to business, moral qualities and honest work practices. The nomination of PSí HUBÍK in 2017 was something that pleased us greatly, and when the organisations members requested a visit to our production plant, we were only too happy to welcome them!

Fresh colours are in evidence in the Spanish team AVATEL-CARDOSO headed by former MotoGP racer, José Luis Cardoso. Under his leadership young riders participate in the 2021 FIM CEV Repsol series. We are very happy the team have decided to equip their riders with our race suits.

The arrival of spring is often associated with the traditional Easter holidays. A time where some worship the story of Jesus, or maybe celebrate the annual rebirth of nature. If the weather plays nicely then we will also go for those first runs of the riding season. It’s a time where we should think about how to get ready and prepare for the biking months ahead.

The safety and protection of the wearer, always has, and forever shall be, the number one priority in the construction of motorcycle clothing at PSí. Since the outset of the company, we have been doing our own development. In the beginning this was based on the experience of our founder, ing Libor Hubík, from his everyday riding on street, touring and track machines. As time progressed, we included testing from professional riders, in the most prestigious classes of motorcycle racing, right up until today, and our cooperation with the faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of West Bohemia (ZČU) in Pilsen, and the joint project of protective motorcycle clothing.

Valentine surprise in the shape of a new suit? Maybe not, but in any case, there is a new suit for the girlfriend of YouTuber Suky. Was it an impulsive decision, or had the idea of getting a bespoke combination been brewing for some time? We asked the best person to tell us, Kristyna, the owner of this unique suit in the SukyBiker.cz design.   

Do you have a unique idea for being on your bike? An original design that absolutely no one else has? At PSí HUBÍK our production plant puts no constraints on your creativity. Whatever you can come up with our team can make a reality. Don’t believe it? See for yourself ....

Maybe you have seen the PSí TRUCK on the highway and wondered where it was heading. The PSI HUBIK company history is associated with direct participation in motorcycle racing. Always with racing! Why?

Alexandra (Saša) Pelikánová experienced a formidable highside crash, within a group of other riders, during a SSP300 race at the Italian circuit of Misano.  Just how did her protective suit, with its built-in air bag system, work? Did Saša escape without injury?

In good news for customers following the development of  incorporated airbag systems in motorcycle suits, PSí HUBÍK s.r.o. signed a contract with, the Italian company, ALPINESTARS on 29th May 2018 allowing the company to offer this latest technology to the general public.

The suit completes for Dakar Rally are made by us since 2000. The pioneer was Ivo Kaštan who was racing in this PSi motorcycle clothing for nine seasons. What does pull back these racers? Read the following lines.

Each model of the PSi HUBÍK collection is represented by a story. It is same in the case of the suit for circuit racings RACING ASTAROTH. What is unique on this suit? You will just learn in the following article.

What do we call a “printed suit”?
We’re talking about a suit that has the design printed directly onto the leather.  The suit is not cut and sewn from a large number of separate pieces of colored leather, lettering and logos.  It is instead, cut out of the largest pieces of leather to reduce the seams to a bare minimum, which means increased safety.

PSi Hubik?  A brand that motorcyclists from all around the world wear today, began as a thought from an engineer named Libor Hubik.  Who can say more about PSi then the owner and founder himself?  What were all the challenges that Libor went through and what actually brought him to form PSi? We interviewed him personally so we could find out how it all began!

The basic function of a protector is to absorb the shock in the exposed area, it means mostly in the joint area. The maximum values transmission of impact force for standard usage is defined by EN 1621 standard.

For the flexible and also sufficiently rigid connection polyester threads are mostly used which retain about 5 kilograms in tension. In addition, they must be sufficiently resistant to all matters or agents which exist with motorbikes, such as petrol, water solutions and various solvents. Next conditions are resistance to fungal attack and sufficiently long lifetime.

The basic material of the racing suits has ever been true leather for tens of years. The most used leather (tanned processed leather) is cow leather, so called face leather. It is the most available high-quality material and it has a high strength and a great abrasion resistance thanks to modern processing methods.

The basic requirement of racing suit design is to achieve a maximum pilot’s protection when keeping the comfort, unlimited free movement on the motorbike. These two on first view very conflicting requirements are successfully met by up-to-date materials and a sophisticated design of particular parts.
