Establishment of the basic technology making it possible to install motorcycle airbags on popularly-priced models

Towards the goals of shaping society with zero traffic fatalities and promoting progress in motorcycle safety technologies, a truly innovative basic system for rider protection at the time of a collision was developed.
Based on an analysis of motorcycle riding conditions and riders’ movements upon collision accident occurrence, a newly-designed airbag system was established through advanced design methods and careful examination processes. With high-level protection performance expected, the system comprises the basic technology leading to its installation on many popularly-priced models, substantially contributing to the materialization of Honda’s long-term vision.
