Certainly! The D-air® Racing system can be replaced following deployment. For more informations and instructions contact us here

No, D-air® Racing was designed exclusively for use on the track. In reality, falls that occur on the track are very different from those which happen on the road.

Yes. All the performance characteristics of D-air® Racing have been verified and certified by the TÜV SÜD automotive division, an organisation which has vast technological expertise in the protection and airbag technology system sector. D-air® Racing successfully passed the tests set by EN 1621.1, EN 1621.2 and EN 1621.4. The system also underwent an additional series of very severe tests aimed at verifying its reliability in hostile weather conditions such as extreme heat or in the presence of strong electromagnetic interference to name but a few.

Another very important test was the safety one which demonstrated that even if the D-air® Racing system deployed not following a fall, it did not interfere with the rider's ability to keep control of the bike.

D-air® Racing uses very sophisticated deployment technology that is much more intelligent than a simple piece of wire. Its sophisticated deployment algorithm lets it distinguish between different types of fall and decide whether or not and how to intervene. If the dynamics of a fall do not justify deployment, the system will not activate so as to avoid wasting money on testing and replacing.

To order a D-air® Racing suit, contact your nearest authorised Dainese-D-air® Racing store. You can also avail of the made-to-measure service and/or colour changes and/or have wording or sponsors' names or logos added. For further information about costs and delivery times, contact your dealer.

The data acquisition software for the D-air® Racing suit can be downloaded from the 2D website via this link:

http://2d-datarecording.com/en/produkte/custom-packs-1/dainese-d-air

This software can be download only online and allows viewing the telemetry and all the data relating to track performance.

Once the software is installed on the PC, the data can be downloaded from the suit using a USB cable. The complete software user’s manual can be downloaded from the same 2D website via the above-mentioned link.

This software is related only to the acquisition of data from the suit to the PC. The firmware managing the airbag activation has been installed directly in the suit and can be updated only by Dainese.

The firmware installed in the suit that manages the airbag activation is always sold with the latest available version and if the suit is returned to Dainese for repair or analysis, the latest version is installed automatically if needed.

The firmware cannot be updated by the user or the reseller but only by Dainese. All firmware versions issued by Dainese are anyway verified and functional, even if the firmware installed is not the latest version.

Dainese products are designed, tested and certified to guarantee that the whole item and any fabric/leather components along with the active and passive protection systems protect the wearer as best as humanly possible.

Dainese have carried out hundreds of safety tests on D-air® garments of every size and obtained TÜV Süd approval for the protection provided.

An airbag is only one part of a protection system: the air pressure inside the airbag on deployment varies from 1.25 to 1.74 bar from the Street version to the Racing version depending on the various configuration of the D-air® garments.

With the D-air® system, the weight of the suit varies from about 6.5 Kg for a size 44 up to 9 Kg for a size 60.

"Cold technology" is a gas injection system that offers considerable benefits in terms of inflation speed, volumes attained and product safety in comparison with other previous technologies (Pyrotechnic Inflater / Hybrid Pyrotechnic / Heated Gas) and was therefore adopted by car manufacturers for airbags.

It is known as "cold technology" because the gas to be compressed and injected must be cooled to reach its liquid form: once the airbag is deployed, the gas is allowed to escape and expands to its gaseous state.
