CX-Air Dynamics

Mechanical Airbag Pants for Motorcyclists

CX-Air Dynamics airbag pants

Reactive, simple and robust protection

CX-Air Dynamics develops a mechanically triggered airbag pant for motorcyclists. The goal: to protect the hips, thighs, and coccyx in case of a fall, with a reliable, autonomous (battery-free), and easy-to-recondition system.

AQ-Tech supported the design of a fully integrated assembly — technical textile + inflatable membrane + gas generator — within a comfortable, abrasion-resistant motorcycle garment.

Our technical approach

A simple and proven mechatronic architecture optimized for motorcycle use.

CX-Air inflatable membrane

Membrane & protection volumes

Targeted protection for high-risk areas.

  • + Definition of inflatable chambers (hips, thighs, coccyx)
  • + Optimization of baffles for volume retention
  • + Airtightness, service pressure and mechanical strength
Mechanical lanyard trigger system

Mechanical triggering & gas generator

Instant reaction — no electronics, no charging.

  • + Lanyard-based passive energy system (battery-free)
  • + Calibrated mechanical trigger & replaceable CO₂ cartridge
  • + Inflation in a few hundred milliseconds
Technical textile and ergonomic design

Textile, abrasion & comfort

Designed for riders — built to last.

  • + Technical fabrics with high abrasion resistance
  • + Discreet integration of inflatable chambers
  • + Ergonomic pattern and full freedom of movement
CX-Air testing and validation

Testing & validation

Validated through lab and real-life conditions.

  • + Trigger and inflation performance testing
  • + Pressure resistance and absorption measurements
  • + PPE pre-qualification and technical documentation

Results & status

Development of a mechanical airbag pant ready for field test campaigns and pre-series production. Designed for user comfort, fast reconditioning, and full industrial documentation.

Status: advanced prototype – pre-industrialization
