IMPACT PROTECTOR
The integrated back system with a back protector in the Kudu models was developed in cooperation with the world unit for protective elements on the market - the Komperdell company. The system has a light construction, it is flexible, it adapts to your back - thanks to the multi-layer construction of double-density thermoplastic foam. In the event of an accident, the protector can absorb up to 95% of the energy of the impact, the remaining part of the energy slows down and is distributed to the sides. Perfect ergonomic design, high breathability.
How does the protector work?
Stored in its own internal pocket; in the event of an accident, the protector absorbs up to 95% of the impact energy directed at the body; it works comparably like a "crash zone" in a car. Reduces impact force to a minimum. The energy of the impact is absorbed by the protector, the residual energy is significantly slowed down and dispersed. The construction of the protector is made up of the "cross system", which is made up of a multi-layer construction of double-density memory foam. 6 layers with different thickness and density are layered on top of each other and connected at several points. This guarantees the softness and high flexibility of the protector. Thanks to the double density of the foam and body heat, the protector adapts to the shape of the back and spine.
The IMPACT protector guarantees:
1. The best shock absorption function in the area of the back and spine.
2. Memory foam absorbs impact energy and transfers it over the entire surface of the protector (e.g. hard protective means absorb impact force only at a point).
3. Safety standard - all cross systems are tested to meet the standard for use on a motorcycle, it is the EN1621-2 level 2 standard and they meet this standard, i.e. the average residual impact energy value is less than 9 kN, the Impact protector shows a residual energy value of only 4.97 kN!
4. Ergonometric checks - according to the EN-1621-2 standard, the protector must meet the minimum size of the protected area it is supposed to cover. This condition is met by the protector without reservation and with an even larger reserve than required.
5. Integrity.
STANDARD EN1621-2 level 2
The European standard EN1621-2 defines 2 performance levels for approved back protectors:
Level 1: the average maximum force recorded in the anvil test shall be less than 18 kN and no individual value shall exceed 24 kN
Level 2: the average maximum force recorded in the anvil test shall be less than 9 kN and no individual value shall exceed 12 kN
