Revolutionary Wearable Airbag System Set to Hit Cycling Market Soon

A game-changing wearable airbag system, designed specifically for road cyclists, is nearing its debut in the market. Developed by Van Rysel, in collaboration with In&motion, this innovative technology integrates seamlessly into a “race-ready” skinsuit, providing unparalleled protection and convenience. This groundbreaking system deploys instantly upon detecting a crash, thanks to advanced sensors that can detect even the slightest impacts. Weighing in at approximately 500 grams, it’s remarkably lightweight and has been rigorously tested on professional cyclists. The UCI, cycling’s governing body, had previously issued a call for innovative safety solutions that could cater to riders traveling at increasingly high speeds. Van Rysel’s airbag system is poised to answer this challenge, with plans for consumer release expected within the next two years.
