The Bengio AB7 Rib Protector FIA 8870-2018 is one of the most advanced rib protectors for karting and offers an exceptionally high level of protection for the ribs, chest, and back. This fully handmade body protector from Italy meets the strict FIA 8870-2018 homologation standards, making it suitable for both national and international karting competitions.

The AB7 combines Bengio’s renowned side rib protection with integrated chest and back protection. This provides the rider with optimal protection for the entire upper body without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement.

Full upper-body protection

The Bengio AB7 is designed to efficiently absorb and distribute impact forces:

• Back protector: tested for impact energy up to 100 joules
• Chest protector: tested for impact energy up to 60 joules
• Rib protector: tested for impact energy up to 100 joules
• FIA 8870-2018 Approved
• Maximum protection for the ribs, sternum, and spine

The FIA standard stipulates that the maximum peak force during an impact must not exceed 1 kN. The Bengio AB7 achieves results that are well within this safety standard.

Ergonomic design

Thanks to its redesigned construction, the AB7 fits the rider’s body perfectly. The side rib protection has been optimized for a better fit in the riding position, while the adjustable elastic shoulder straps ensure maximum comfort for riders of all body types.

Innovative locking system

The fastening system developed and patented by Bengio makes it possible to put on the rib protector quickly, easily, and safely. This ensures that all protective zones remain perfectly positioned while riding, in full compliance with FIA safety regulations.

High quality materials

The Bengio AB7 is made from high-quality composite fibers that offer excellent resistance to impact and wear. The internal padding consists of high-quality shock-absorbing foam that effectively disperses impact energy and vibrations, significantly reducing the strain on the body.
