A sleek, wearable airbag for cyclists is nearly here

A revolutionary new airbag system is being developed for road cyclists, integrating directly into a race-ready skinsuit. This innovative technology, created by Van Rysel in collaboration with airbag specialist In&motion, can deploy in just milliseconds after detecting a crash. The system is currently being tested by professional riders, with a consumer release expected within the next two years. This development comes after the UCI, pro cycling's governing body, began allowing airbag technology in competition. The airbag is designed to be lightweight and unobtrusive, making it ideal for serious cyclists. As the technology continues to evolve, it's likely we'll see more widespread adoption of airbag systems in the cycling world. With its sleek design and rapid deployment, this airbag system has the potential to greatly improve cyclist safety. The fact that it's integrated into the skinsuit rather than being a separate device makes it a more practical solution for riders. As the testing phase progresses, we can expect to see this technology become more refined and eventually hit the market, providing a new level of protection for cyclists. The partnership between Van Rysel and In&motion has resulted in a cutting-edge product that addresses a significant need in the cycling community.
