KLIM’s FIM homologated Ai-1 Airbag Vest pulls on a platform provided by In&Motion offering the very first airbag technology based on an artificial intelligence solution that is constantly undergoing further development.
The integrated motion detection module achieves an unprecedented level of sensitivity thanks to continual updates to the algorithm. Within a thousandth of a second, it can detect an atypical motion pattern and trigger the airbag so that it is fully deployed within 60 milliseconds.
Mathieu Doveze and the Nomade Racing Team will be wearing the Ai-1 Airbag Vest at the Dakar Rally 2022
The “Adventure Mode” software application, which was developed for off-road usage, also takes into account the special demands of this particular mode of riding. Additional D3O® chest protectors (Level 1) and a Level 2 certified D3O® back protector protect the wearer in a low-speed fall situation. Our KLIM Rally Airbag Vest fits under any outfit, is extremely well ventilated and ensures full freedom of movement even when used for racing.
Dakar 2022 participants who will be wearing an Ai-1 Rally Airbag Vest include: Franco Picco (ITA), the KLIM-TwinTrail Racing Team (ESP), Nomade Racing (FRA), Pedro Bianchi Prata (PRT), and many more.
The Fantic XEF Rally 450 will be one of the protagonists of the 2022 Dakar, led by Italian rally legend Franco Picco
