Held eVest Pro airbag waistcoat airbag system with zip black/grey

For years, wearable electronic airbag systems have been the gold standard when it comes to motorbike protective equipment for the highest safety requirements. Since the launch of the eVest and eVest Clip-in in 2019, we have gathered valuable feedback which, together with new ideas and findings from motorsport and road use, has been incorporated into the development of a new airbag product.

• The eVest Pro has a completely newly developed performance airbag that not only protects the chest, back and neck, but now also the ribs and shoulders.
• The new integrated D3O® back protector behind the hard plastic element of the waistcoat now covers a larger protection zone and is proofed to EN 1621-2 Level 2.
• The outer material of the eVest Pro has been completely redesigned and now consists of lightweight and breathable mesh fabric all round. Inside, a 3D air mesh insert on the back ensures that the incoming wind can circulate.

FOR THE HIGHEST DEMANDS

The new performance airbag module

• The advantages of the new In&motion performance module come into their own on the race track and off-road. The new design of the airbag was derived directly from motorsport experience. The protection zones have been adapted for intensive sporting use in competition and training in order to offer protection in the event of the more frequent side impacts that occur there.

INTELLIGENT PROTECTION FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY

• Held's electronic airbag waistcoats offer maximum safety and maximum comfort for the motorcyclist. At the heart of the waistcoats is the electronic control module In&box from the French system supplier In&motion.
• Using 3 acceleration sensors, 3 gyroscopes and a GPS module, the riding situation is monitored 1000 times per second in order to fully deploy the airbag and thus the entire protective effect within just 60 milliseconds if a dangerous situation is recognised.
• For additional protection in the event of a frontal collision, the eVest Pro offers the option of retrofitting a two-part chest protector.

AIRBAG TECHNOLOGY FROM IN&MOTION

• For almost 10 years, In&motion has been developing high-performance airbag systems that improve year on year through continuous optimisation of fall detection and protection.
• The intelligent algorithm is constantly adapted by a team of data scientists to achieve the target of 100 – 0 (100 % detected falls, 0 % premature deployments) set for 2024.
• Three different detection modes – Road, Track & Adventure – allow for increased precision thanks to the data collected with each release, enabling disciplined product development for maximum performance.

Protection zones

• In addition to the algorithmic part, it is also essential to adapt the shape of the airbag to the individual disciplines, as different vital areas are exposed to risks depending on the intended use. This specification makes it possible to get even closer to the protection needs of the airbag user and indirectly increase the detection performance.
• To achieve this, In&motion relies on research in the field of traumatology carried out by Oscar Cherta Ballester, PhD in biomechanics, in collaboration with various laboratories at the Gustave Eiffel University. The results of these studies have made it possible to develop two airbag modules which, depending on the type of riding and falls observed in each sport, protect certain areas of the body by holding and stiffening them.

THE IN&BOX – THE "BRAIN" OF THE WAISTCOAT

• including 1 recognition mode of your choice, others can be unlocked: road, race track or adventure
• Accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS analyse the riding situation 1000 times per second
• Crash detection and airbag deployment in less than 60 milliseconds
• Electronic airbag activation – no connection to the motorbike required
• Intelligent, constantly evolving algorithm from In&motion
• 30 h usage time, USB-C, auto standby
• Free software updates

DETECT – PROTECT – PERFECT

• Continuous optimisation of the algorithm by In&motion
• [DETECT] An intelligent algorithm works inside the control module, which uses built-in sensors to determine the driver's acceleration and position 1000 times per second and triggers the airbag in fractions of a second in an accident situation.
• [PROTECT] The airbag cushion inflates to the optimum pressure in less than 60 milliseconds to absorb the impact energy, stabilise the wearer's body, prevent injuries to the spine and protect vital organs.
• [PERFECT] Thanks to the data collected by the In&box, In&motion can constantly improve the system and the detection strategy. Data sharing is optional and independent of receiving updates.
