eVEST PRO

Electronic airbag system for maximum safety

For years, portable electronic airbag systems have been the gold standard when it comes to motorcycle protection equipment for highest safety requirements.

Since the launch of the eVest and eVest Clip-in in 2019, we have gathered valuable feedback which, together with new ideas and findings from motorsport and road use, has been incorporated into the development of a new airbag product.

We are proud to be able to present the new eVest Pro for the 2024 season.

The new eVest Pro is equipped with a newly developed performance airbag by In&motion, which not only protects chest, spine and neck, but now also ribs and shoulders.

The integrated back protector by D3O® inside the vest now covers a larger protection zone and is certified to meet the CE EN 1621-2 Level 2 standards.

The outer material of the eVest Pro has been redesigned and now consists of lightweight and breathable mesh fabric all around. On the inside, a 3D air mesh insert on the back ensures that the incoming wind can circulate.

For highest demands

The new performance airbag module

The advantages of the new In&motion performance module come into play on the racetrack and off-road. The new design of the airbag was derived directly from motorsport experience. The protection zones have been adapted for intensive use in training and competition to provide protection in the more frequent side crashes that occur in these disciplines.

Intelligent protection for maximum safety

Electronic airbag vests from Held offer maximum safety combined with maximum comfort for the motorcyclist. At the heart of the vests is the electronic control module In&box from the French system supplier In&motion.

Using 3 acceleration sensors, 3 gyroscopes and a GPS module, the riding situation is being monitored and analysed 1000 times per second. If a crash situation is detected the airbag deploys and unfolds its full protective effect within just 60 milliseconds.

Airbag technology by In&motion

For almost 10 years, In&motion has been developing high-performance airbag systems that improve year on year through continuous optimization of fall detection and protection.

The intelligent algorithm is constantly adapted by a team of data scientists to achieve the target of 100 – 0 (100% detected falls, 0% unnecessary deployments) set for 2024.

Three different detection modes – Road, Track & Adventure – allow for increased precision thanks to the data collected with each deployment, enabling disciplined product development for maximum performance.

In addition to the algorithmic part, it is also essential to adapt the shape of the airbag to the individual disciplines, as different vital areas are exposed to risks depending on the intended use. This specification makes it possible to come even closer to the protection needs of the airbag user and indirectly increase the detection performance.

To achieve this, In&motion relies on research in the field of traumatology carried out by Oscar Cherta Ballester, PhD in biomechanics, in collaboration with various laboratories at the Gustave Eiffel University. The results of these studies have made it possible to develop two airbag modules which, depending on the type of riding and falls observed in each discipline, protect certain areas of the body by holding and stiffening them.

The In&box – the „brain” of the vest

Includes 1 detection mode of choice, others can be unlocked: Road, Track or Adventure
Accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS module analyse the situation 1000 times per second
Crash detection and airbag deployment in less than 60 milliseconds
Electronic airbag activation – no connection to the motorcycle required
Intelligent, constantly evolving algorithm by In&motion
30 h runtime, USB-C, auto standby
Free software updates

DETECT – PROTECT – PERFECT

Continuous optimization of the algorithm by In&motion

[DETECT] Inside the control module an intelligent algorithm uses built-in sensors to determine the driver’s acceleration and position 1000 times per second and triggers the airbag in fractions of a second in a crash situation.

[PROTECT] The airbag cushion inflates to the optimum pressure in less than 60 milliseconds to absorb impact energy, stabilize the wearer’s body, prevent spinal injuries, and protect vital organs.

[PERFECT] Thanks to the data collected by the In&box, In&motion can constantly improve the system and the detection strategy. Data sharing is optional and not neccesary for receiving updates.
