With increased compression, greater support and improved comfort and sensitivity, the ‘Speedo Fastskin LZR Racer X’ enables swimmers to feel the water, feel the speed, and feel fast
The new Speedo Fastskin LZR Racer X features:
- LZR Racer PulseLite, a light, powerful and durable fabric on the body of the suit that provides compression and support along with flexibility to allow upper torso movement during breathing and freedom of movement for the arms.
- LZR Racer CompreX, a dual fabric construction used on the legs and glutes of the suit with smart-stretch technology, which only stretches vertically, for high compression and freedom of movement. This allows swimmers to bend and move their legs during their stroke while still creating compression for a hydrodynamic profile. With the increased vertical stretch, there is also greater flexibility in starts and turns and a spring off the blocks and wall.
- Maximized support seam construction with a unique tape design and an identifiable ‘X’ shape on both the front and back of the suit. The support seams follow and enhance the link between the muscles of the upper and lower body and promote correct body position in the water. On the front of the suit, the tape is aligned to provide a light tension supporting the quads and to help promote the alignment of the kick. On the rear of the suit, the stability seam crosses at the back to connect the lower body muscles with the shoulder muscles to help maintain optimal body positioning.
- Laser cut, flat straps on women’s suits give precise tension while allowing freedom of movement and the optimum balance between a secure but comfortable fit. Ab Activators, which are laser cut panels in the core liner of the women’s suit that increase sensory awareness and encourage activation of lower abdominals while promoting optimal body position – and a flat back – in the water.

More than 330 elite swimmers and 20 swimming experts from 26 countries contributed to the creation of the new Speedo Fastskin LZR Racer X by wear testing the suit at various stages throughout the development process and sharing their feedback.

LZR Racer X suit,” said 12-time Olympic medalist
