Most MotoGP innovations never make it to the roadway—and for good reason. Carbon brakes, seamless gearboxes, and ride-height devices help set all-time lap records, but such complex tech is overkill for street use. Unlike all that bleeding-edge performance technologies, MotoGP gear advancements nearly always hit the consumer market and Dainese has led the airbag revolution with its D-Air system.
Debuting in the 2007 MotoGP season, D-Air has evolved over the last 15 years. In 2011, the brand introduced the D-Air Racing range for track use. Four years later, the road-going system brought Grand Prix-level protection to everyday riders. While Dainese’s MotoGP innovations trickled down to the road over time, D-Air's latest Smart Jacket street series doesn’t dilute that advanced tech.
