KTM have announced the release of two new riding jackets, fitted with airbags. The jackets, made in partnership with Alpinestars, are the first airbag jackets to not require a system to be fitted to the riders bike.
Named the Managua GTX Tech-Air and Durban GTX Tech-Air, the jackets are fully breathable, waterproof and windproof thanks to the outer material being made of Gore-Tex.
The Durban GTX is designed for light offroad riding as well as the street, with features including a micro-fleece removable lining, zippered air intakes and storage space for a 2 litre bladder hydration system.
The KTM designed airbag system is like nothing else on the market. The airbags are easily armed with the closing of a zip. They're fully removable and they activate in 25 milliseconds keeping the rider protected when they need it most.
All of these highlight features are summarized in the official product video:
