BMW Motorrad and Dainese agree on longterm joint development of a system for improving passive protection for motorcyclists.

BMW Motorrad and Dainese have announced that they are to cooperate in a joint development of innovative motorcycle safety clothing for BMW Motorrad. Taking the Dainese D-Air® Protect System as its starting point, the partners will be developing motorcycle rider equipment with fully integrated airbags for BMW Motorrad.

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

The next stage will be to develop the Dainese D-Air® Street System as a retrofit solution for BMW Motorrad. The system is scheduled to be launched in 2015, following successful completion of all the crash tests and will be applied to many Bmw bikes.
