Ducati D-Air

Post by Blade »

Saw the Ducati D-Air system at the bike show yesterday and have to say its very impressive.

Its basically a Dainese Air Bag Jacket paired to the Ducati 1200S Mulitstrada via bluetooth. Full explanation here.

I don't think it will be many years before we are all wearing kit with airbags.

Don't most of the racers now use an airbag system in their suits?

Anything to reduce injury is a good thing.

Yes they do and that tech is getting more and more affordable to us as general public which is a good thing IMO.
