Dainese and BMW work together on protective leather clothing for bikers

18/07/2013
Italian protective clothing manufacturer Dainese is to work with BMW on the joint development of leather motorcycle safety clothing for the BMW Motorrad motorcycle brand. Taking the Dainese D-air Protect System as its starting point, the partners will be developing motorcycle rider equipment with fully integrated inflatable protectors for BMW Motorrad.

D-air is a protection technology platform that uses an intelligent system to detect dangerous situations and, when required, inflate special airbags in different parts of the suit to protect the body.

The first product to emerge from the cooperation will be the DoubleR RaceAir, a one-piece leather suit with D-Air racing protectors, designed exclusively for use on racetracks. The racing suit is scheduled to be presented at the international EICMA motorcycle show in Milan in November, once BMW Motorrad has completed all the required testing in Munich.

BMW Motorrad and Dainese are also looking into further ways of cooperating in the interest of providing further protection for motorcycle riders.
