    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    I believe I'll wait also for a couple of years before deciding to replace mine. I guess that within 1-2 years, there should be more and better models especially when the future CE standard specific to airbags for riders will be availalbe (expected by 2022, ref. should be 1621-5). I'd like to...

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Nothing new and specific to most electronic airbag jackets such as the vests including the In&Motion technology (IXON, HELD, FURYGAN, KLIM, RST and now TUCANO), the Dainese SmartJacket or the Dainese airbag integrated in their specific jackets (or suits), the Alpinestar TechAir5 and the...

    New news : there is a new airbag vest by Tucano Urbano including the In&Motion technology and which can be worn above and under a jacket (this is the first one with this technology allowing to wear it also above the jacket). Available in Europe from September. It can also be converted as a...

    No matter how much I read and read again the comparative test of the electronic airbag vests from the unmatched French site on riders security (PassionMotoSecurite)... ("The tests were carried out over several months and several thousand kilometers between mid-May and the end of October 2020...

    The age of the " rocketeers"

    After stopping riding for xx years, the question was which bike would be the one convincing me to start riding again. Many models of the market have been attracting me but very, very few would enough to make me order one. Back in 2015, I've decided to go for a "new" brand (I liked its...

    2020 French Market (1st in Europe) results

    You may be right, France may have lost its first place on total and Italy may be the new first Europen market (and probably Germany 2nd). If so, it'd be interesting to find out why and which brand and engine category... We should get soon the official numbers from "ACEM", the European...

    2020 French Market (1st in Europe) results

    2020 results including scooters (from 125 cm3) - French Market (1st in Europe) - Top 20 by manufacturer in nbr of units sold. Overall decline of -3% which is not really bad given the situation (Covid) and since it is mainly due to the lack of stock according to the press. Triumph shows a...

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Great progress in the airbag protections with the 4 main brands and their electronics (dainese, alpinestars, hélite and in&motion). And we can anticipate that airbags for riders will get democratized with more models, better technology and price including for trousers e.g. this on-going project...

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Effectively this info. from In&Motion is not in favor of In&Motion when riding under heavy rain and after second thoughts, this is not really surprising just by looking at the back of it : In&Motion (by Ixon) : vs the e-Turtle and Smart Jacket (their front is also, apparently, hermetic) :

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Thank you for this further thought. 👍 I am trying to collect further info. on MOTOAIRBAG. It is this previous V2 model which has got 3 stars from the SRA professional organization. (the All shot Bumper got also 3 stars) : I am surprised that you write that the electronic airbags can't get...

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Really looking forward hearing from your experience of the Motoairbag V3 since over here it seems that it is basically nonexistent as far as I know (same with the HitAir) unlike the Helite Turtle (for airbags with tethered system) or the Dainese and Alpinestars eletronic ones (and probably soon...

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Interesting... Over here (first motorcycles market in Europe), I believe that the Motoairbag is barely known and there are apparently very few distributors. Most known brands are the two Italian Alpinestars and Dainese brands and the other two French Helite (1st selling brand with tethered...

    Triumph is in trouble

    Over here in France (2nd WW market), Triumph is doing very well. Ref. top 20 manufacturers, 2019 results : First chart shows the units sold with y/y growth and the 2nd one the market share. Guess that in 2020, Triumph will beat Harley (market share over here)

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Now available over here. I would not be surprised that the tests would conclude it is the best airbag (very fast, largest volume + a backprotector level 2) : https://www.helite.com/Technology-Airbag-electronic-eng 2 models : one for road ("e-Turtle) and one for the track Video on the track model :

    Motorcycle airbag jacket

    Announcement over here planned for March 18 of the new electronic and autonomous HELITE airbag jacket. Distribution planned for around mid-April. The main advantage vs the competition would be to detect better and faster thanks to the fork sensor option : Electronic airbag system
