MotoCap testing revelations for female riding gear - Dr Yao Yu from MotoCap

MotoCAP combines scientific data collection with logical analysis to produce reliable and actionable insights, aimed at enhancing rider safety and potentially reducing injuries. Over seven years, the program has revealed notable differences in the star ratings of protective clothing for male and female riders. In the market, female riders have far fewer options for protective clothing compared to their male counterparts. The average level of protection offered by female-specific garments is lower than that of male gears. These findings highlight the need for female riders to be more cautions when selecting protective gear. More importantly, they underscore the urgent need to improve the protection offered by female motorcycle gear. It is valuable for manufacturers to understand that female riders have limited protection and to implement changes that address this inequity.
