Track racing: Complement your protection with an airbag
The track is an exhilarating playground for motorcyclists, but also an environment where the risk of falls is increased due to high speeds and extreme riding conditions.
Unlike traditional gear, the airbag vest offers dynamic protection that deploys instantly in the event of a fall, absorbing a large portion of impacts and reducing the risk of serious trauma.
Types of track falls
On the track, motorcycle falls generally fall into several types, depending on their cause and how they occur:
- Highside (Ejection)
- Lowside (Lateral slide)
- Front-end washout (Fall on corner entry)
- Rear-end washout (Slide on corner exit)
- Uncontrolled wheelie (Stoppie fall)
- Excessive braking (Uncontrolled stoppie)
- Collision with another rider or obstacle
Good equipment (helmet, airbag vest, reinforced suit) and technical mastery (progressive braking, controlled acceleration, good trajectories) reduce the risks and consequences of falls on the track.

THE AIRBAG BECOMES MANDATORY
In 2025, the obligation to wear a motorcycle airbag will be extended in France to all circuit competitions and hill climb races.
True to its expertise in wired airbag vests, Hit-Air offers the RS1 airbag vest, fully dedicated to competition.
Why choose a Hit-Air wired airbag vest over another?
The significant protection volume is the essential advantage of the Hit-Air RS1 airbag vest.
Indeed, the RS-1 vest is worn as a top layer, unlike its counterparts which are worn under a suit, the RS-1 provides a larger inflation area.
We can indeed notice its large cervical cushion which limits the risk of cervical injuries.
Focus on the Hit-Air RS-1 airbag vest: cutting-edge protection
Hit-Air specially designed the RS-1 model for circuit motorcycle enthusiasts, offering advanced protection without compromising rider performance.
- Aerodynamic fit: Thanks to its snug and close-fitting cut, the RS-1 limits wind resistance.
- Flexible: compatible with all available suits, including those equipped with an aerodynamic shell.
- Lightness and comfort: Its design is intended not to hinder the rider's movements, allowing them to remain focused on their trajectory.
- Secure wired system: The vest is connected to the rear fairing of the motorcycle by a cable designed to instantly detect rider ejection and deploy the airbag in a fraction of a second.
- Reinforced protection: The airbag deploys to absorb impacts to the neck, cervical vertebrae, shoulders, as well as the thoracic and dorsal areas.
- Custom adjustments: Velcro inserts on the upper back allow for adjusting the position of the cervical cushion. An internal Velcro belt also ensures an optimal fit according to the rider's body shape.
- Integrated back protection: An essential element secured by Velcro limits the risk of injury related to the casing and cartridge in the event of a fall.
- Customization options: Front and back patches can be customized with the logo of the team, sponsors, or brands thanks to Velcro fastenings.
