AIRBAG System

The APC consists of an airbag incorporated into a standard crash helmet which functions as an active safety system. With the APC, levels of protection for riders are increased in the case of a dangerous collision.

The design of the APC is based on criteria of comfort and safety for riders.
The installation, maintenance, communication with the user and the accident detection system have been designed so riders are not forced to carry out complex, tedious actions to guarantee their level of protection at all times.

A very small, simple control box fitted to the motorbike’s crash helmet holder or under the seat is responsible for handling all the stimuli received from the outside. Depending on the result obtained, the crash helmet will receive the order to inflate, so, in less than 0,15 seconds, the rider’s safety levels will be increased.

All this is carried out without cables or other physical elements linking the rider to the motorbike. In the picture you can see the APC control box and crash helmet, the only two elements making up and completing the product.

The bag unfolds around the neck and the back, going slightly beyond the seventh vertebra. This design pursues the objective of improving the stabilisation of the neck during the accident and absorbing possible impacts that the motorist can receive to the upper part of the back.

The total detection time and activation of the system is less than 0.15 seconds, which ensures an almost instantaneous response see videoswhen faced with a high-speed crash.
