Engineered for the female rider, the SPIDI Back Warrior 160-170 utilizes a proprietary composite cell architecture to deliver elite-level spinal defense without the bulk of traditional armor. Constructed from highly shock-absorbing light composite materials, this full-back protector is specifically tailored to the ladies' morphology, ensuring it sits flush against the spine without interfering with the fit of an overlying jacket. The design philosophy prioritizes a streamlined profile that remains surprisingly thin and light, allowing for unrestricted movement during aggressive cornering or long-distance touring, while the integrated Warrior technology ensures that the protective structure remains rigid enough to dissipate high-impact forces effectively.
The ergonomic integration of the ERGOFIT SYSTEM and a dual-fastening belt mechanism guarantees a secure, custom fit that adapts to the rider's specific posture and movement patterns. By maintaining a tight seal against the back, the protector prevents shifting during high-G maneuvers, which is critical for consistent protection and comfort. The inclusion of strategic vents facilitates essential airflow and climate management, preventing heat buildup during extended rides, while the total weight of under 560 grams ensures that the rider does not feel encumbered by the safety equipment, allowing for better concentration on road conditions and vehicle control.
Certified to EN 1621-2:2014 Level 2 standards, this protector exceeds safety benchmarks by achieving an average residual energy of 7.8 KNs, well below the 9 KNs maximum threshold required for Level 2 certification. This mechanical performance indicates a superior capacity to absorb and dissipate impact energy compared to standard Level 1 protectors, providing a significant margin of safety in real-world crash scenarios. The folding design further enhances practicality for the modern rider, allowing the unit to be stowed in luggage compartments when not in use, while the strict maintenance protocol—requiring line drying in the shade and prohibiting machine washing—underscores the specialized nature of the composite materials used to maintain their structural integrity over time.
