METAL INSERTS ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB TITANIUM PRO-SHAPE
The use of inserts in metals such as titanium, steel, aluminium or special
alloys offers greater abrasion resistance in the joint areas of the body,
reducing the risk of dangerous rotations and/or tumbling during a fall, and
distributing impact energy over a wider surface area. The central layer of the Wave back protector features an aluminum
honeycomb structure with excellent shock absorption performance
combined with the capacity for progressive and controlled deformation in
order to ensure better protection at lower weight than other solutions. This metal vaunts an elevated strength/weight ratio, high resistance to both
mechanical stress and corrosion and excellent thermal conductivity. The
use of this precious material in protective inserts represents the latest state-
of-the-art thanks to its low asphalt friction coefficient that reduces the
risks of rider‘s rolling/getting jammed somewhere during a fall for greater
protection. Constant technological research and the study of ideal ergonomics have led
to the development of a new generation of protectors certified to EN 1621-
1. A sandwich composed of an outer layer in polymer with extremely high
impact absorption capacity and remarkable elasticity is bonded to an inner
layer of ultra-high density polyethylene foam to create an extremely flexible
and deformable structure, which also has high shape memory retention to
ensure excellent ergonomics.
