Bengio AB7 Women's Rib Protector, FIA 8870-2018 Certified
The Bengio AB7 WOMEN'S Rib Protector, FIA 8870 2018 Certified, is a high-quality, fully handmade rib protector from Italy, specially designed for female kart drivers. This model is certified according to the FIA 8870-2018 standard and is part of the latest generation of protective gear within the BENGIO family.
Thanks to its anatomical fit, advanced materials, and innovative design, this rib protector offers an exceptional combination of safety, comfort, and stability in the kart seat.
Maximum protection for the upper body
The AB7 goes beyond traditional rib protectors and offers full upper-body protection. In addition to the ribs, it also protects the sternum and back.
Back protection tested for impact energy up to 100 joules
Chest protection tested for impact energy up to 60 joules
Rib protection tested to withstand 100 joules of impact energy
The performance exceeds FIA requirements by a wide margin, with peak force during impact remaining below 1 kN. This ensures maximum energy absorption and reduces the physical strain on the body upon contact with the kart seat or in the event of a crash.
Specially designed for the female anatomy
The AB7 Women's is designed with a specific women's fit. The design, featuring an adjusted bust cutout, ensures:
Better fit
Fewer pressure points while driving
Greater comfort in the driving position and kart seat
Optimal freedom of movement without compromising safety
Adjustable elastic shoulder straps ensure that the protector easily adapts to different body shapes.
Innovative BENGIO locking system
The patented BENGIO locking mechanism makes putting on and adjusting the rib protector quick, easy, and safe. While riding, the protector stays firmly in place, even under high G-forces and during intense races.
Materials and Construction
The AB7 is constructed from high-quality composite fibers that ensure exceptional durability and impact resistance, even under heavy use.
The internal shock-absorbing padding:
Distributes impact energy evenly
Reduces vibrations while driving
Increases comfort during long kart
Each rib protector is entirely handmade in Italy and individually inspected for quality.
Why a rib protector is essential
Rib and chest injuries are among the most common karting injuries. A good rib protector not only prevents injuries but also boosts confidence and comfort on the track.
Please note: Damage to the internal structure of a rib protector is not always visible from the outside. Repeated impacts and changes in body composition can cause the protection to diminish over time.
Therefore, check the fit regularly and replace the protector in a timely manner if necessary.
Important tips for use
Always wear the rib protector under your racing suit
Check the fit both in the driving position and in the kart seat
Make sure there are no pressure points when sitting
Protect your cover by adding foam to the seat bolts if necessary
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
