Engineered for the 180-195 cm rider, the SPIDI Back Warrior utilizes a proprietary composite cell architecture to deliver Level 2 CE protection without the bulk of traditional armor. This specific size variant is tailored to the taller demographic, ensuring that the protective coverage aligns precisely with the spinal column of a larger frame. The core construction relies on highly shock-absorbing light composite material cells, a design philosophy that prioritizes energy dissipation over rigid plate resistance. By maintaining a total weight under 560 grams—significantly lighter than the 900-gram average of conventional protectors—the unit remains unobtrusive, allowing it to fold and store easily in luggage compartments while retaining its structural integrity for on-bike use.
The ergonomic profile is defined by the ERGOFIT SYSTEM, which employs a double fastening mechanism on the belt to secure a custom fit that adheres to the back without interfering with jacket layers. This precise adjustment capability is critical for preventing the protector from shifting during aggressive cornering or long-distance touring, ensuring consistent protection placement. To manage thermal load, the design integrates an internal mesh and dedicated air canalization channels that increase air circulation by approximately 50% compared to standard back protectors. This ventilation strategy, combined with the advanced material composition, reduces heat buildup and sweat accumulation, directly contributing to rider comfort and sustained concentration during extended riding sessions.
Certified to EN 1621-2:2014 Level 2 standards, the Back Warrior demonstrates superior impact performance with a residual energy of just 7.8 kN, well below the 18 kN maximum threshold required for certification. The average shock-absorbing factor of 9 kN indicates a robust capacity to manage high-velocity impacts, translating to a tangible safety margin for the rider. This mechanical efficiency allows the protector to remain thin and flexible, evolving the concept of safety by making the gear easier to wear and less distracting. The result is a full-back protector that balances rigorous impact resistance with the agility required for modern powersports, ensuring that safety equipment enhances rather than hinders the riding experience.
