Dainese Smart GO airbag vest weighs 780 g and costs £329
Dainese has launched the Smart GO electronic airbag. The vest weighs 780 g including its gas generator, gives Level 2 chest and back protection under EN 1621-4 and runs off a compatible smartphone, so there is no separate charging routine.
The system is fully electronic with no physical link to the bike. The D-air algorithm detects dangerous riding dynamics and inflates the airbag in milliseconds. It is tuned for road riding and light off-road, so not for the track. Dainese says no extra rigid back protector is needed. It can be worn over or under clothing, and adjustable straps let one size fit different builds.
Power comes from a USB-C smartphone with USB OTG support or from an optional power bank. Control is through the D-air app over Bluetooth. A 15-litre water-resistant backpack attaches magnetically. How it performs in real riding is still to be tested.
- Vest price — £329
- Power bank — £35, up to 72 h of riding
- Spare gas generator — £59, user-replaceable up to 3 times
- Backpack — £119, full package about £550
