Ducati has introduced the first production motorcycle wirelessly integrated with airbag riding jackets. The Multistrada D-Air model features a fully integrated system of sensors which are connected to Dainese designed Ducati Apparel airbag jackets. The system will greatly enhance two-wheel safety for riders. Ducati Multistrada D-Air model will be available for the European market from May 2014.Ducati and Dainese, both the Italian brands have combined their expertise to create an intelligent passive safety system that uses sensors built into the Multistrada’s existing electronics to constantly understand the vehicle’s dynamic situation and deploying only when subjected to a genuine accident scenario.
The Multistrada D-Air system completes the data analysis and airbag deployment inside both the rider and passenger jackets in 45 milliseconds, considerably reducing the risk of injury upon impact. Ducati’s premiere of the technology, developed in cooperation with Dainese, further underlines the Italian motorcycle manufacturer’s commitment to enhanced safety, already represented by their Ducati Safety Pack consisting of multi-level ABS and traction control.
