Helite E-GP Air Track Vest
- The algorithm uses a set of on-board sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS) that analyze the motorcyclist’s motion more than 1000 times a second and enables to follow the rider in real time. When a fall is detected, the airbag inflates automatically in less than 60 ms and before impact.
- The system is ready to use and also easy to use. No more need to connect yourself with the motorcycle, just press the ON/OFF button 3 times to activate the vest.
- The e-GP Air has a 25 hours autonomy which is about 1 week of use. A USB cable is supplied with the airbag system to recharge the vest (charging time about 3 hours)
- The e-GP Air offers a very big protection volume (the biggest on the market) between 17 and 28 L depending on the airbag size. This provides better protection in case of a fall.
- The e-GP Air has an aerodynamic cut that fits perfectly over any leather suit. Space for the hump has been left.
- A semi-rigid protection has been placed on the chest and back for a double TURTLE effect! This innovation is a very big improvement in protection. The impact forces are distributed over the entire airbag, significantly improving energy absorption and reducing the risk of intrusion.
- The e-cartridge is easily and quickly replaceable by yourself in a few minutes and at low cost.
- The e-GP Air can be customized with quick access to the front and rear. There are many possibilities to make your airbag vest unique.
- Our airbag systems are CE certified by the ALIENOR CERTIFICATION laboratory, a recognized and independent institute that certifies protective equipment for motorcyclists (PPE).

Sizing Information
The most important factor in choosing a size of a Helite Vest is your height so the inflatable parts of vest that pass around your torso are in approximately the right place. We’ve listed the height ranges for each size below. There are two “plus” sizes offered in the vest for those that are wider than average. We’ve listed some approximate chest measurements to help you decide if you need a “plus” size or one of the standard sizes. Helite recommends measuring OVER your race suit. The vest has a cutout for the neck hump on a suit, so don’t include the added size of the hump when measuring.
