Motorcycle Airbags – maximum protection on road, track and dirt
Airbags have transformed motorcycle safety. Where traditional armour covers small areas, an airbag provides full upper‑body coverage across the chest, back, shoulders, neck and often hips and pelvis. During a crash, the force is distributed across a large surface and the body is stabilised before ground contact.
Electronic airbags – the fastest and most advanced
Electronic systems from Alpinestars Tech‑Air and Dainese D‑air use sensors, gyroscopes and AI‑driven algorithms to analyse rider movement hundreds of times per second. They deploy during highsides, lowsides, collisions and impact scenarios – often before the rider hits the ground.
Inflation times are typically 40–50 ms, and many systems offer multiple riding modes such as ROAD, RACE, OFF‑ROAD, RALLY, ENDURO and EV.
Mechanical airbags – simple, robust and always ready
Mechanical systems like Helite Turtle 2 and H‑Moov deploy via a tether connected to the motorcycle. Benefits include:
- No batteries
- No electronics
- Easy reset with a new cartridge
Ideal for touring, commuting and cruiser riders.
