Delving deeper, its D-Air system is essentially a piece of protective technology primarily aimed at motorcyclists which employs an intelligent sensor system to detect dangerous situations and inflate a built-in airbag in your bike gear. Focusing in on the D-Air technology, there’s two main elements that combine to keep you safe in the event of a crash – essentially its heart and brain. The 3D Airbag is the heart of the D-Air System. Ergonomically designed for maximum comfort, it features a microfilament construction that ensures uniform inflation for maximum protection. The D-Air control unit monitors the sensor signals 1000 times a second using a sophisticated patented triggering algorithm to decide whether or not to inflate the airbag.
