TOKYO - When the airbag has been used only as a safety feature to avoid a car collision with objects in the interior, Honda is now applying airbags on a motorcycle.
Autoevolution quoted as saying, in fact Honda has made the development of airbag systems to implement this on two wheels since 2005.
And finally the Japanese manufacturer decided to apply these safety devices on the Honda Gold Wing.
This system is paired with a sensor and ECU (Electronic Control Unit) which can take into account when the air bag will inflate in the event of an accident.
What does this Honda was after seeing the many cases of frontal accidents involving motorcyclists. In order to work properly, Honda also made a number of research from the front collision experiments using dolls.
According to our Board of Honda in Japan, will work a maximum of airbags during a frontal collision while driving a motor up to 50 km / hour.
Honda also designed a heavier bike to the rider being thrown when etrsebut bags inflate airbags. Unfortunately, until now manufacturers motor wing logo has not been able to implement this system on the motor type of sport.
