The integrated and universal airbag solutions from Merlin offer the same high level of additional rider protection but in two options. The universal system can be worn over all jackets. An activation cord attaches to the motorbike and has a weighted activation requirement. This means that when only small amounts of pressure are placed on the cord the airbag will not activate. In the event of an accident, once the rider leaves the bike and the cord is pulled, the airbag will activate to protect the neck, back and coccyx with a total volume of 15 litres and an activation time of just 80 milliseconds. This is extremely effective in reducing the impact force, with only 1.4kn of residual energy on impact (6.5 times more protective than a CE Level 2 back protector). The system is fully waterproof and weighs only 800g approximately. The unit can be recharged by the user after activation (recharge canisters sold separately). The system requires no daily maintenance or setup and only requires a system check every 4 years. The unit is made and assembled in Italy and has been certified in accordance with the highest possible protection for motorcycle airbag technology.
