BMW Street AIR vest compatible with Street AIR Dry and StreetGuard AIR jacket
The revolutionary airbag safety system
BMW Motorrad offers a top-quality and stylish enduro jacket which is suitable for touring – the Street AIR Dry jacket. The Active Protection Inflatable makes the jacket a component of the Street AIR safety concept. When combined with the Street AIR vest, riders have an airbag system at their disposal that is independent of the motorcycle.
This system was developed for use on public roads by BMW Motorrad and Alpinestars and it can be used by both motorcyclists and passengers: Street AIR detects accident situations and triggers within 30-60 milliseconds. The airbag is filled within 25 milliseconds and in conjunction with the jacket's protectors provides its full protective effect for shoulders, collarbone, ribcage and back in just 85 milliseconds.

Three sensors in the Street AIR vest permanently monitor the situation on the road. An intelligent activation algorithm analyses the data, detects critical situations and activates the airbag in the event of an accident. Intervention occurs in the case of rear-on collisions at speeds of more than 20 km/h and when the rider rolls away after a fall (lowsider). The Street AIR system operates entirely autonomously – no connection is required with the motorcycle. Its function and mode of operation has been subjected to numerous intensive crash tests and simulations. Street AIR is absolutely reliable and certified according to the rigorous Dekra specifications.
The Street AIR Dry jacket is the carrier of the system and performs all monitoring and control functions. The retrofittable Street AIR vest is inserted by means of zips and press studs. Two cables at the back establish the connection between the two components. A sensor in the front zip of the jacket activates the system in the vest as soon as it is closed. The status of the Street AIR system – e.g. functional readiness and battery charge – is shown by an LED indicator on the left sleeve. The Street AIR Dry jacket keeps the system entirely waterproof and ready for use in all weathers.
The Street AIR vest contains the electronics, battery and compressed air system, consisting of a gas generator and airbag with 3D structure. All components are housed in the back section of the vest. And all this weighs very little indeed: the total weight of the vest is approx. 2 kg. The airbag is available in various sizes, so the Street AIR system can be adapted to any rider's height.
Please Note:
The Street Air jacket is sold separately and is not included.
