A great first for Honda which presents the first motorcycle equipped with an AIRBAG. It is no longer a project or a utopia but a reality which will arrive in 2007; and it is the sumptuous 1800 Goldwing road which was chosen as the flagship of this technology.
After a study on the accidentology of 2 wheels, it was noted that a frontal collision appeared in the great majority of accidents. Honda therefore launched a program to create an energy absorption system on impact. The manufacturer started the development of this system in the 90s, then a prototype was installed in a Goldwing 1500 at the end of that decade. It was also adapted on a prototype of the big Silverwing scooter in 2004 to be finally operational on the GL 1800 which appeared in 2007.
The system consists of the airbag itself, an electronic control unit and a series of sensors.
– The airbag is similar to those used in an automobile. Positioned in a housing on top of the tank, it inflates on impact with pressurized gas housed in a cylinder. This bag is kept attached to the motorcycle by 2 straps and its characteristic shape prevents the rider from slipping on either side..
– The electronic management unit constantly receives information from the sensors located on the fork tubes and compares them with the data it contains in its memory. For more
s security, the information transmitted is processed independently for each sensor. A noticeable change in the data triggers the inflation of the airbag.
– The sensors are double on each fork leg. Located at the optimum point of impact detection, these 4 elements adapt without the need to modify the fork..
– In the event of a frontal impact, the airbag deploys and absorbs kinetic energy in approximately 0.15 sec..
Honda’s AIRBAG system increases your bill by just over 2 plates. A substantial sum in absolute terms but which will not feel much on a machine which in 2009 exceeded € 30,000 – That is almost 12% more on the note. The price of exclusivity, security, or the panache of a pioneer ?
