Honda unveils its new airbag for motorcyclists

Honda and In & motion unveil a new motorcycle airbag at the Lyon Two Wheels Show, a major advance for rider safety.

At the Lyon Two Wheels Show, Honda marks a new step in its commitment to safety by unveiling a revolutionary Airbag vest, designed in collaboration with In & motion. This project is part of Honda’s ambitious vision to eliminate fatalities caused by road collisions by 2050.

This Airbag vest is based on the cutting-edge expertise of In & motion, a specialist in protective systems for over 10 years. The device incorporates embedded technology that analyzes the rider’s movements in real-time. In abnormal situations, the Airbag deploys within a few milliseconds, effectively protecting vital areas such as the chest, abdomen, and spine.

Its evolving system relies on data collected from over 100,000 users who have traveled more than 300 million kilometers. Thanks to regular updates, the risk detection accuracy is continuously improved.

Practical and accessible

Designed to meet the needs of riders, this vest combines protection, comfort, and practicality. It can be immediately reused after deployment, requiring only the replacement of the gas cartridge. Without any exaggeration, money is of little value compared to life when it comes to safety on a motorcycle, but the main issue with such devices is their relatively high cost compared to traditional protective jackets. Priced at 399 euros, the offer includes a rental system, ensuring optimal service and financial accessibility.

With this innovation, Honda continues its goal of reducing serious accidents while enhancing the riding experience. The vest will initially be available at 35 dealerships in France before a European rollout.
