<br />
Starting with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/24/poof-no-injuries-motorcycle-airbag-suit/">Dainese's D-air Protect System</a>, which is made up of inflatable protectors that deploy in 15 milliseconds, the two companies will integrate the technology into a BMW Motorrad brand, one-piece racing suit, the DoubleR RaceAir. Later a different, street-oriented airbag system that can be retrofitted to bikes will be offered to Beemer riders.<br />
<br />
The DoubleR RaceAir is expected to be presented at the <a href="http://www.eicmausa.com/">EICMA motorcycle show</a> in Milan in November, after all required crash testing has been completed.<br />
<br />
In addition to the new racing suit, BMW Motorrad and Dainese have agreed to long-term cooperation to develop more safety gear.<br />
<br />
Having proper safety gear equipped while riding a motorcycle is crucial, but the rider is the most important piece of the safety puzzle, so ride safely! <a href="/2013/07/19/bmw-working-with-dainese-to-put-airbags-in-motorcycle-suits-w-v/#continued">Scroll down</a> for the press release and to watch a video of the D-air airbag system in action.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/19/bmw-working-with-dainese-to-put-airbags-in-motorcycle-suits-w-v/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW working with Dainese to put airbags in motorcycle suits [w/video]</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/19/bmw-working-with-dainese-to-put-airbags-in-motorcycle-suits-w-v/">BMW working with Dainese to put airbags in motorcycle suits [w/video]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:27:00 EST.
