In Enduro and Rally Mode, the Tech-Air
approximately 10 seconds of continuous riding. The System automatically deactivates when
no more active riding is detected for about 20-30 seconds.
As summarized in Table 1, in Enduro and Rally Modes the envelope of protection includes:
- Crashes against Obstacles
- Low-Side Type Falls
- High-Side Type Falls
The System function for Enduro Mode and Rally Mode is accurately optimized based on
riding, falls and crash data coming from the two disciplines. In order to experience a correct
functioning of the System, it is strongly recommended that the User choose the appropriate
Riding Mode, based on the different riding style of the two disciplines, as indicated below:
• Enduro MODE: recommended for trails where the User rides on unpaved surfaces like
gravel, riverbeds, mud and other natural terrain. Typically, these riding scenarios include
several changes in riding directions, tackling obstacles and hills at lower speeds or when
pushing the motorcycle;
• Rally MODE: recommended for scenarios that are characterized by longer straight sections
with multiple bumps and different types of terrain crossed at higher speeds, unlikely
encountered in typical Enduro competitions. Typical environments where these riding
scenarios occur are mainly characterized by desert terrains (with dunes and sandy ground),
gravel and open countryside settings; a perfect usage scenario would be similar to the World
Rally Raid Championship that includes the famous Dakar Rally).
In Enduro and Rally Modes the Envelope of Protection does not include situations in which
the rider's motorcycle is hit by another vehicle while stationary.
3.2.1 ENDURO and RALLY MODES: Envelope of Protection for Crashes against
Obstacles
In Enduro and Rally Modes, the Tech-Air® Off-Road System is expected to inflate and
protect in Crashes where a Motorcycle Strikes a Vehicle or Obstacle in the same conditions
as outlined in Section 3.1.1 for the Street Mode with the following modifications:
- Impact angle is limited to a frontal 90° impact;
- The Tech-Air® Off-Road System is expected to inflate and protect within 200 milliseconds
from the beginning of the crash, in Crashes Where a Motorcycle strikes a Vehicle or Obstacle
(Figure 3) and the User is riding in seated position;
- The Tech-Air® Off-Road System is expected to inflate and protect within 300 milliseconds
from the beginning of the crash, in Crashes Where a Motorcycle strikes a Vehicle or Obstacle
(Figure 3) and the User is riding in standing position;
WARNING! When Enduro and Rally Modes are selected, the System may not
deploy before the first impact even inside the conditions of Table 2,
but may deploy if the rider suddenly falls from the motorcycle after
the impact, regardless of the impact angle.
