OJ BY MOTOAIRBAG MECHANICAL AIRBAG BACKPACK

The OJ Airbag Backpack is a motorcycle backpack with an integrated mechanical back airbag, developed by OJ in collaboration with Motoairbag®. It is designed to enhance protection for the back, cervical area, and tailbone in the event of a fall or accident, while maintaining the convenience of a compact 6-liter backpack.

Features

• Development: created by OJ in collaboration with Motoairbag®.

• Activation: mechanical system via a coiled cable connected to the motorcycle with a strap to be secured under the seat.

• Inflation time: approximately 80–85 milliseconds after activation.

• Activation force: requires approximately 8–9 kg of pull; this helps prevent accidental activation when getting off the bike while forgetting to detach the cable.

• Protected areas: back, cervical, and tailbone.

• Certification: airbag certified EN 1621-4:2013, Level 2.

• Stated performance: residual force in impact test of 1.4 kN.

• Material: 100% polyester.

• Airbag system weight: approximately 800 g.

• Airbag volume: 15 liters once inflated.

• Backpack capacity: 6 liters.

• Dimensions: approximately 25 × 42 × 6 cm; some data sheets report a depth of up to 12–14 cm depending on the measurement method.

• Pockets: internal tablet or PC pocket and external front pocket.

• Adjustments: adjustable shoulder straps, safety chest strap, and adjustable waist belt.

• Size: one size, designed to fit different body types through adjustments.

• Compatibility: can be used over summer or winter jackets and on different motorcycles or scooters. To use the same backpack on multiple vehicles, additional under-seat straps can be purchased.

• Reusable: after activation it can be recharged, provided it has not sustained damage and by following the manufacturer's instructions/maintenance requirements.

• Fast-Lock Technology: prepared for the optional Motoairbag Fast-Lock system.

Recommended use

It is suitable for motorcyclists and scooter riders who want additional airbag protection without replacing their jacket. It can be worn over summer, touring, or winter clothing and is a particularly practical solution for commuting, travel, and urban use, thanks to its light weight and capacity to carry essential items.

Before setting off, you must put on the backpack and adjust the shoulder straps, chest strap, and waist belt, then connect the coiled cable to the anchor strap secured to the seat. In the event of a violent separation from the vehicle, the cable triggers the cartridge and the airbag inflates, protecting the intended areas.

Safety and maintenance

The Airbag Backpack does not replace a helmet, jacket with protectors, gloves, technical trousers, or footwear: it supplements protection for the back, neck, and tailbone. After an activation, check that the airbag, backpack, and attachment system have not sustained damage; ordinary recharging can be performed following the manual, while in case of damage after a fall, you must contact authorized personnel.
