Choose the ultimate experience. 6 years after offering the first universal electronic airbag on the market, the iconic IX-AIRBAG U03, the IXON brand is presenting a new generation of airbag in 2024. Now, discover the IX-AIRBAG U05: inspired by Research & Development work with the brand’s MotoGP riders, IXON is reinventing the link between protection and comfort. You can push your limits anywhere with a product that can be used in all environments: thanks to its 3 fall detection modes, the IX-AIRBAG U05 is suitable for Road, Racing and Adventure use.
This technology has been developed in competition, directly with IXON MotoGP riders: it is used in the suits worn by Aleix Espargaro, Brad Binder, Miguel Oliveira and Takaaki Nakagami. The result of several years’ work on the track with some of the world’s best riders, AIRFLOW CHANNEL technology is now available to the general public.
The IX-AIRBAG U04 and IX-AIRBAG U05 offer perfect riding sensations thanks to the choice of ultra-light materials, a design that doesn’t restrict movement and a cut that’s very close to the body.
They are also highly versatile products: thanks to the 3 fall detection modes built into the In&box electronic unit designed by In&motion, these airbags are suitable for Road, Racing and Adventure use.
Protecting vital areas of the upper body, the IX-AIRBAG U04 and IX-AIRBAG U05 offer a high level of protection: these high standards have made it possible for the two airbags to be approved by various national federations in Europe and by the FIM, enabling them to be used in competition on circuits.

Comfort
- The choice of ultra-light materials for the inside and outside allows to offer an airbag with minimal weight.
- The design has been developed so as not to restrict movement and provide a perfect riding sensation.
