About In&motion

By combining top level technology and user experience, In&motion designs and markets airbag protection systems, aiming to reduce injuries in the event of an accident.

After having developed a system for skiers competing in skicross and alpine skiing, In&motion has developed an autonomous airbag protection system for motorcyclists.

First worn by top riders (MotoGP, Moto2, FSBK, etc.), the system has been marketed to the general public (motorcyclists and scooter riders) since October 2018. In&motion has also designed a mechanical release system for horse riders.

To date, In&motion has tens of thousands of users around the world and has covered more than 6000 crashes and falls since its creation. Every day we hear stories that remind us of its primary vocation: to reduce injuries in the event of an accident and save lives.
