In the video above, Valentino Rossi tests the Dainese D-Air racing suit, with seriously high-tech features.
The video is in Italian, but is of Rossi asking questions about how the inflation mechanism works on the D-Air Racing suit.
The suit’s protection includes padding around the shoulders and collarbone, with inflation feature that can be activated in a crash.
The air-bag style inflation reduces the movement of the neck during a crash, and can then be deflated when re-entering the race.
