French gear and equipment manufactuer Bering is no stranger to airbag technology. Back in 2011, it debuted its Protect'Air motorcycle-specific airbag device. In the years that followed, Bering innovated on its airbag tech with multiple iterations of the C-Protect Air, and now, for the 2023 model year, has released its latest version, the E-Protect Air.
Bering's new E-Protect Air vest is slim, compact, and easy to wear. Like its predecessor, this airbag vest is worn over a motorcycle jacket and is designed for road use. The vest now boasts a sleeker, more streamlined appearance in addition to technological improvements. To start with, the air cushions, which are inflated in less than 0.05 seconds after the detection of the accident, now deploy to protect the spine, cervical, coccyx, thorax and abdomen. Rated four stars in the SRA test, it offers further safety with the inclusion of a Protectflex back protector, and is certified level 1 according to the EN17092-6:2020 standard.
