Even a motorcycling icon like Dainese can’t sit on its leather-clad laurels for long. The Italian firm has been leading the charge to combine style with safety since 1972, and relentless innovation is one of the primary reasons for their success.
Back in 1972, founder Lino Dainese, who was just 20 at the time, began making protective apparel for motorcyclists. He started with leather trousers for motocross riders, and things grew quickly from there. Right from the off, Dainese looked for new and improved ways to protect riders and to manufacture his bike clothing. He studied the injuries that racers were sustaining and developed specific systems to safeguard them: from innovative back protection to state-of-the-art gloves and helmets. Innovation never sleeps – and the firm’s relentless commitment to improvement means that 40 years on from developing the very first rider back protector, they are still rapidly evolving their protective products. As materials technology and testing capabilities have continued to accelerate at pace, so too has the protection offered by Dainese’s highend back protection.
The additional lessons taken from the development of leather and textile road apparel and racing suits – and even the firm’s airbag technology – have all helped to push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of rider comfort, impact protection, and rider safety. Forty years after that first back protector, Dainese’s latest offering gives riders the best protection possible from a passive system.
GETTING PROTECTED
Dainese invented the back protector in 1979. It has since become an essential item for riders, first among the world championship riders and then among all two-wheeled enthusiasts across the world, a crucial part of their every adventure. The back protector is the essence of motorcycle protection. Selecting the back protector that best suits your needs is fundamental in order to feel free and confident to fully enjoy every turn, in any condition. This is why Dainese help customers to understand what technology is best for them. And with four fantastic dedicated Dainese stores in the UK, the opportunity to get the ideal product – fitted to perfection, and to match the sort of riding you do – has never been better.
INTRODUCING PRO-SPEED
The utmost in two-wheeled safety, the Pro-Speed family – which ranges from the G1, G2 and G3 Dainese jacket compatible inserts costing £69.95 through to the superb Pro-Speed Back independent protector which retails for £159.95 and can be worn with road or race garments – guarantees the rider first-rate aerodynamic performance during street and sports riding or track sessions.
This certified back protector is the latest Dainese creation in the category. Its pre-curved rigid structure makes for unbeatable rider ergonomics, while freedom of movement in the saddle is guaranteed by complete lateral and vertical and longitudinal torsion.
This freedom and flexibility is crucial to safe and exhilarating riding. Without the articulation, breathability and curvature of the Pro-Speed, rider comfort would be compromised – impacting on enjoyment.
The Pro-Speed offers a riding experience that combines the highest safety standards with unique levels of lightness and ventilation. The perforated surface of the back protector ensures all the necessary ventilation, even on the hottest of routes and temperatures.
The key to a Pro-Speed protector is its exclusive aluminium internal structure, which offers maximum protection against impact in any situation and adapts to changes in temperature. The evolutions in design and technology make for a back protector that ensures an adrenalinefuelled ride through every turn – underpinned by the ultimate safety device. It’s got your back.
A PERFECT FIT FOR YOU
Dainese understand that all riders are individuals, and that one size does not fit all. That is why the Pro-Speed back protector is available in three sizes – Short, Medium and Long – with a wide range of adjustment in the hip and shoulder straps to suit all shapes. The perfect fit is crucial for comfort and performance – and it’s guaranteed with the Dainese’s Pro-Speed.
