Approved protections
In France, wearing approved gloves is mandatory when riding a motorcycle, in addition to the helmet. Gloves, jackets, trousers and motorcycle shoes are tested according to European standards that assess abrasion and impact resistance. Motorcycle shoes, like the Furygan trainers, protect the ankles and malleoli while remaining discreet in the city. Knee sliders, like those from Held, protect the leather when leaning into corners on the track.

The motorcycle airbag
The airbag vest, like those from Helite, is worn over or under the jacket. Wired models are connected to the motorcycle by a cord: in case of a fall, when the rider is ejected, the cord pulls the trigger and a CO2 cartridge inflates the vest in a fraction of a second, protecting the chest, back and neck. After deployment, you simply replace the cartridge to make the vest operational again.
Riding connected
The Quad Lock system fixes the smartphone to the handlebars with a quarter turn, using a case or holder suited to each phone model. The vibration dampener protects the camera stabilisation of the phone, which is sensitive to engine vibrations. The GPS Beeline, compact, displays simplified navigation via arrows. An intercom, like the Sena or Exo-Com, transmits instructions into the helmet.
