The extreme conditions of the Dakar make comfort a priority for this “off-road” airbag waistcoat! The riders will be riding for hours with considerable temperature variations.
The airbag waistcoat, which is worn under the pilot’s jacket, has therefore been designed to meet their requirements:
The Off-Road airbag waistcoat is equipped with 2 independent cartridges. This remarkable innovation will allow riders not to have to change the cartridge after the first inflation and immediately start racing again without losing time.
The electronic system of this off-road airbag automatically switches between empty and full cartridges.
When both cartridges are empty, the airbag indicates this via a light and sound signal. The rider must replace the cartridges in a simple procedure that only takes a few minutes.
The waistcoat uses electronic airbag technology developed by Helite.
The “Off Road” detection mode was specially developed for Dakar. Indeed, in this mythical race, the conditions are extreme and unique, so we had to adapt to offer a tailor-made detection.
The electronic card has been positioned on the backrest to follow the rider’s movements in real-time, analyse the situation and detect the fall as quickly as possible to activate the airbag inflation.
