The English brand RST, distributed exclusively for France by Bihr, will strengthen its range equipped with airbags for 2020.
RST is taking a new step in terms of safety by offering airbag protection on some of its equipment. It is the French company In&motion with its airbag solution which will be retained on the protection side with a protective vest which will take place on four pieces of equipment from four different backgrounds:
– the Race Dept V1 4.1-piece leather airbag suit
– the Adventure-X airbag jacket (textile)
– the GT airbag jacket (leather)
– the GT airbag jacket (textile)
An undeniable plus in terms of safety, even if we regret for the umpteenth time that CE back protectors are not systematically offered on equipment... in short, let's keep in mind that RST is the first British brand to offer a range that is entirely CE certified under the prEN standard 17092.
Spotlight on RST
For more than 30 years, RST has produced equipment for two-wheelers with the added bonus of a real commitment to road racing by playing the role of official safety partner during races such as the North West 200 and the Tourist Trophy on the island. de Man, thus making it possible to sift through the equipment in real conditions. As a reminder, the leading British brand is in partnership with riders such as Ian Hutchinson (Tourist Trophy), Alex Lowes (Superbike world championship) and Kenny Foray (French Superbike championship), thus placing safety at the heart of the product innovation.
