Product Spotlight: Ixon IX-Airbag U03

1 year ago | Words: Matt Bernard

Motorcycle safety has seen remarkable innovations in recent years, but few have had as significant an impact as airbags. With the IX-Airbag U03, IXON introduces an advanced, fully independent airbag system designed to offer unparalleled protection for motorcyclists. In the event of an accident, this airbag inflates rapidly, cushioning critical areas such as the collarbone, thorax, abdomen, neck, and spine—minimising injury in high-risk zones. While it has been previously targeted heavily at on-road applications, these sit perfectly in the world of adventure and even off-road rider safety.

Born on the Track, Built for Every Rider

The IX-Airbag U03 isn’t just another protective device—it’s a product honed in the heat of competition. Developed alongside IXON’s professional racers and rigorously tested on the track, this airbag brings race-ready technology to everyday riders. The result is a versatile, intelligent airbag system that provides top-level protection whether you’re riding on the road or the track.

Cutting-Edge Innovation: No Wires, No Hassle

What sets the IX-Airbag U03 apart from the competition is its total independence. There’s no need to connect cables to your bike or install sensors. This electronic airbag system operates autonomously, making it one of the most advanced solutions available today. Simply wear it like a vest under your jacket or suit, and you’re ready to ride with peace of mind.

Why Choose the IX-Airbag U03?

  • Universal Compatibility: Designed to be worn under any motorcycle jacket, as long as it fits the required size specifications.
  • Completely Autonomous: No wires, no motorcycle sensors—just intelligent protection.
  • Lightning-Fast Activation: The airbag inflates in just 22ms, while its detection system responds in a mere 33ms.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Protects key areas like the thorax, abdomen, spine, neck, and collarbones.
  • Intelligent Design: The In&Box system uses embedded algorithms to analyse rider movement 1,000 times per second, detecting falls and triggering inflation in under 55ms.
  • Constant Improvement: In&motion software gathers data from each use, continually refining its protective capabilities.
  • Integrated Back Protector: Complies with EN 1621-2 safety standards for added peace of mind.
  • Top-Rated Safety: The IX-Airbag U03 boasts a 5-star rating from the SRA, a respected safety authority.

Seamless Integration with the In&Box System

The IX-Airbag U03 relies on the In&Box system, the intelligent heart of this airbag. After purchase, the system is activated for 48 hours, and riders must register with In&Motion to continue use. There are two options available: the “Revolution” leasing offer or the “Regular” purchase offer. This easy-to-use system ensures that your airbag is always charged, updated, and ready to protect.
