Now available, the IXON spring/summer 2024 collection once again demonstrates the brand’s desire to innovate in order to offer high-performance equipment, i.e. products that best meet the needs of motorcyclists and directly contribute to improving their riding experience.
IX-AIRBAG U04 and IX-AIRBAG U05 a new generation of airbags
6 years after offering the first universal electronic airbag on the market – the iconic IX-AIRBAG U03, which became the best-selling model in Europe – the IXON brand presents a new generation of airbags in 2024. Discover the IX-AIRBAG U04 and IX-AIRBAG U05, two sophisticated technological products: inspired by Research & Development work with the brand’s MotoGP riders, IXON is reinventing the link between protection and comfort.
These new airbags are equipped with AIRFLOW CHANNEL technology, an exclusive and advanced ventilation system that provides maximum cooling to the body. Airflow is guided in and out of the airbag via 3D mesh channels along the entire back and torso of the shell, inside the airbag. The specific 45° orientation of the 3D mesh channels and the two central ventilation channels – on the torso, on either side of the central zipper, and on the back, in a central position – ensure optimized airflow diffusion and body temperature regulation.
This technology was developed in competition, directly with IXON’s MotoGP riders: it is used in the suits worn by Aleix Espargaro, Brad Binder, Miguel Oliveira and Takaaki Nakagami. The result of several years’ work on the track with some of the best riders in the world, AIRFLOW CHANNEL technology is now available to the general public.
The IX-AIRBAG U04 and IX-AIRBAG U05 offer ideal driving sensations thanks to the choice of ultra-light materials, a design that doesn’t restrict movement and a cut that is very close to the body.
They are also very versatile products: thanks to the 3 fall detection modes integrated into the In&box electronic unit designed by In&motion, these airbags are suitable for road, racing and adventure use.
Protecting the vital areas of the upper body, the IX-AIRBAG U04 and IX-AIRBAG U05 offer a high level of protection: these high standards have enabled the two airbags to be approved by several national federations in Europe and by the FIM, allowing them to be used in competition on the circuits.
