BMW & Dainese To Develop Bike Jackets With Airbags

Airbags are the most common safety feature in cars, next only to seat belts. But not everyone would be aware of the existence airbags for motorcycle riders. Yes, they do exist and most of these come as part of a riding jacket. However, the most advanced motorcycle jacket airbags are used by professional motorcycle racers and these high tech safety gears are not easily available to the common biker.

BMW Motorrad is looking to change that by teaming up with motorcycle safety equipment major Dainese. The two have signed a long time contract under which several BMW Motorrad branded safety equipments will be developed and entered into production and a state of the art motorcycle airbag will be the first and primary product to be produced.
