Ixon U05 IX Airbag Vest

Ixon U05 IX Airbag Vest

Inspired by research and development work with the brand's MotoGP riders, IXON reinvents the connection between protection and comfort. Push your limits anywhere with a product that can be used in all environments: Thanks to its three fall detection modes, the IX-AIRBAG U05 is suitable for road, racing, and adventure use.

Characteristics:

• The airbag is equipped with AIRFLOW CHANNEL technology: a unique and advanced ventilation system that ensures maximum body cooling. The airflow is directed through 3D mesh channels in the back and chest areas of the liner inside the airbag.
• The technology was developed in competition, directly with the IXON MotoGP riders: Aleix Espargaro, Brad Binder, Miguel Oliveira, and Takaaki Nakagami
• The choice of outer materials also promotes ventilation: Hard mesh on the front and back, ultra-stretch mesh on the sides. This makes the IX-AIRBAG U05 100% ventilated.
• An ultra-lightweight airbag designed for unparalleled freedom of movement and comfort
• The choice of ultralight materials for the interior and exterior allows for an airbag with minimal weight. The design was carefully developed to not restrict freedom of movement and ensure a perfect riding experience. The cut is very close to the body, avoiding any feeling of bulkiness and making the airbag seem invisible.
• The airbag is supplied with a special IX-CONNECT kit that allows seamless integration of the airbag into a suit
• Three fall detection modes are integrated into the In&box electronics unit developed by In&motion: The airbag is suitable for road, racing, and adventure use. Switching between modes is done with a single click via the My In&box mobile app.
• Meets the requirements of numerous national and international federations, including the FIM, and can therefore be used in races on the racetrack, including MotoGP and JuniorGP
• In combination with the chest protector and the Modus Racing Pack, the vest is also approved for motocross competitions
