Tucano Urbano, the equipment brand integrated into the Italian business group Mandelli, presents its latest airbag vest Airscud Flex. Florian Martinmarketing director of the brand, explains: “We want to continue the airbag revolution that we started in 2021. Our cities are still too full, especially in summer, of motorists who move without any protection, totally unaware of the dangers they face between trams, cobblestones, curbs and potholes.”
The new Airscud Flex airbag vestwith technology In&motion integrated, is essentially the result of the research and development work of the Mandelli LAB, which has focused mainly on maximizing comfort and studying the fit in both the men's and women's versions.

Airscud Flex: High technology applied to safety
The new Tucano Urbano vest takes advantage of all the power of artificial intelligence developed by In&motion, market leader in the development of autonomous airbags. The French company's engineers constantly collect and analyze data from thousands of motorists on the roads around the world, with a total of 200 million kilometers and more than 10,000 falls, detected and studied in detail.
In this way, the Airscud Flex makes constantly improved versions of the airbag detection and activation algorithm available to all users. Thanks to 7 sensors – 3 accelerometers, 3 gyroscopes and 1 GPS – the detection algorithm measures the parameters of use a thousand times per second and, if necessary, allows the fastest activation in the world.
In less than 60 milliseconds – not even the time of a blink – the system detects the risk and completes the inflation of the airbag, with full coverage of the vital areas: chest, abdomen, neck and spine.
In addition, different algorithms are available to optimize the operation of the Airscud Flex according to the conditions of use:
- Street: For those who use two wheels every day
- Adventure: For off-road adventure
- Track: To have fun on the track
