Tucano Urbano AIRSCUD - new airbag motorcycle vest and jacket combo launched

TUCANO URBANO AIRSCUD is the latest in wearable motorcycle gear with airbag safety from the Italian brand.

Coming as either a vest or jacket (removable sleeves), the AIRSCUD offers riders maximum protection with airbag safety - and can be reset at home by replacing the inflator unit which can be bought separately. 

Smart in both senses of the word, the stylish vest and/or jacket from Tucano Urbano makes use of In&motion AIRBAG technology, a French market leader in motor-safety, to constantly improve the airbag deployment algorithms. Constantly monitoring, collecting & analysing riding data from thousands of riders worldwide,  

With a constant appetite for new data, regular monitoring, collecting and analysing riding & deployment data from thousands of riders worldwide means updates can be routinely made to optimise the deployment limits.

Further, varying riding-style plans can be set through the In&motion app (Street mode, Adventure mode, Track mode) to further improve operation in differing riding environments.

Thanks to 7 sensors – 3 accelerometers, 3 gyroscopes and 1 GPS – the detection algorithm measures the parameters of use a thousand times every second and, if necessary, provides the fastest inflation activation in the world - in less than 60 milliseconds - with total coverage of the vital areas: chest, abdomen, neck and spine.

Waterproof and breathable, the AIRSCUD is designed to be worn as a CE cetified vest (Class 3) over or under any outfit (or with the Tucano Urbano AIRSCUD-ready jackets), and can transform into a CE-motorcycle certified jacket in seconds - with sleeves equipped with D3O® T5 EVO X CE – EN 1621 Level 1 CE certified protectors on shoulders and elbows, and a CE EN 1621 - Level 1 back protector in the vest. 

With a little window in the back to keep an eye on the LED lights of the In&motion box (as well as switch it on and off), there are two front pockets for valuables, with sleeve & bicep adjustors for the perfect fit. 

Weighing in at just 2,620 grams as a size-large jacket (1,950 grams as a vest), the exterior has been constructed with a lightweight Taslan polyamide, with 500D Oxford polyamide in the areas most exposed to impact.
