After 10 years of research and development, and as announced early this month at the EICMA show in Milan, Dainese’s D-Air race airbag suit system is being released for sale to track day riders and racers in Europe.
U.S. consumers should see it for sale stateside by 2012.
While those following D-Air’s development have speculated Dainese might pin an astronomical price to the fruit of its multi-million dollar project, the company says it will charge 2700 euros, which works out to around $3,700.
Although this is still about three times more than many off-the-rack suits, D-Air suits will be custom-tailored to buyers’ measurements and include data-acquisition capabilities, such as lap times, speeds and mapping capabilities. It will therefore offer the same degree of fit, safety and technology that Valentino Rossi and other top racers get.
