Triggering of the CX Air Dynamics airbag pants by wire.
This airbag device installed in these pants increases protection in the event of an accident. This prototype pants is triggered by a thread that is hung on the motorcycle or the scooter as is the case on many airbag vests. Xavier Bouquillard specifies that an electronically triggered version will complete this wired version presented at the Lyon Motor Show. It will allow coupling with an airbag vest.
