HELD has introduced its latest innovation in motorcycle safety gear, the eVest Pro, designed for the 2024 season. Building on years of feedback from riders and insights from motorsport and road use, the eVest Pro incorporates cutting-edge technology and enhanced protection features, setting a new benchmark for electronic airbag systems.
Advanced Protection by In&motion
The eVest Pro is equipped with a newly developed performance airbag module by In&motion. This advanced system not only protects the chest, spine, and neck but also extends its coverage to ribs and shoulders. The airbag’s design, refined through motorsport experience, is tailored to address the frequent side crashes encountered in training and competitive scenarios.
Complementing this is an integrated D3O® back protector, now covering a larger zone and certified to CE EN 1621-2 Level 2 standards. Together, these features ensure optimal protection for motorcyclists across various disciplines.
Intelligent Safety and Comfort
At the core of the eVest Pro is the In&box electronic control module. Using three accelerometers, three gyroscopes, and a GPS module, it monitors the rider’s situation 1,000 times per second. In a crash scenario, the airbag deploys within an impressive 60 milliseconds, delivering full protective coverage.
The module’s intelligent algorithm, developed by In&motion, continuously evolves to improve fall detection accuracy and minimize unnecessary deployments. Riders can select from three detection modes—Road, Track, and Adventure—to tailor the system to their riding style.
Designed with comfort in mind, the eVest Pro features lightweight, breathable outer mesh fabric and a 3D air mesh insert on the back for optimal ventilation during rides.
Optimized for Performance and Racing
The eVest Pro complies with international motorsport regulations, including MotoGP, WSBK, and EWC, ensuring it meets the highest standards of protection. A deflation ring enables rapid deflation, allowing racers to resume competition just 30 seconds after deployment.
In&motion’s collaboration with researchers like Oscar Cherta Ballester, PhD in biomechanics, has led to the development of airbag modules specifically designed to protect vital areas based on riding discipline, further enhancing safety and performance.
Continuous Improvement for Maximum Safety
HELD’s eVest Pro exemplifies its commitment to rider safety, leveraging advanced technology to Detect, Protect, and Perfect. With free software updates and no reliance on motorcycle connections, this innovative system offers riders unmatched safety and convenience, marking a significant leap forward in motorcycle protection equipment.
For motorcyclists seeking the pinnacle of safety and performance, the eVest Pro is set to redefine protective gear for the 2024 season and beyond.
