The electronic system identifies a fall or slide and immediately sends a trigger signal to the gas generator in the hump of the suit. This activates the internal airbag, which inflates within 30 millieseconds. D-air Racing has a patented 3D airbag structure, which provides the rider with controlled airbag expansion. It is the only airbag suit on the current market that works wirelessly without any connection to a motorcycle.Aside from the unique safety features, the D-air Racing suit is a track day enthusiast’s ideal piece of kit. The system features data acquisition software developed by German company 2D (2d-datarecording), which supplies some of the top teams in MotoGP and F1. The software gives D-air wearers an effective tool to monitor riding performance and record telemetry data, which can be downloaded and displayed on a computer.

Extensive functions of the system include lap time data, GPS telemetry of the bike and diagrams in relation to time – assessment of braking spaces and lines through bends. Acceleration data is also available and the system is compatible with Google Earth, which enables plotting of racing lines on a mini map. The D-air Racing system has passed all motorcycle personal protective equipment tests, not only for the current European standards but also for pre-standards, which will come into effect in the future.

The D-air system is so innovative that the current standards were only partially able to meet the certification needs of an advanced system. TÜV SÜD were required to develop a new and more appropriate testing producer before submitting the D-air Racing system, which went far beyond the existing standards. D-air Racing is proud to be TÜV SÜD system certified.

The suit can be customised to a customer’s specific needs with custom colours, additional names, logos and messages. D-air prices start from £2,409 for a standard suit and can range up to £3,240 depending on customisation.
