Description

Bengio BUMPER CARBON Rib Protector FIA

The Bengio BUMPER CARBON Rib Protector is among the very best in the field of rib protection for karting. This high-quality rib protector is entirely handcrafted and combines an ultra-strong carbon construction with advanced shock-absorbing materials to provide maximum protection for the ribs and chest.

Thanks to its excellent fit and lightweight design, the Bengio BUMPER CARBON FIA offers the perfect balance between safety, comfort, and freedom of movement. Ideal for both ambitious and professional kart drivers.

Maximum protection on the track

Rib and chest injuries are among the most common injuries in karting. Not only collisions during races, but also the constant vibrations from the chassis and the pressure from the kart seat can lead to painful bruises and strain.

The Bengio BUMPER CARBON FIA is designed to efficiently absorb and distribute these forces, thereby significantly reducing the strain on the body.

High-quality carbon construction

The exterior of the rib protector features a high-quality carbon layer that combines exceptional strength with light weight. The interior is lined with shock-absorbing foam that absorbs impact energy and reduces vibration.

This combination results in:

  • Excellent side protection
  • Optimal absorption of shocks and vibrations
  • Lightweight construction for maximum freedom of movement
  • High comfort during long racing sessions
  • Sustainability and long-term performance

Purchasing advice

A rib protector only provides maximum protection when it fits properly. Therefore, always check that the protector:

  • Fits the body well
  • Can be worn comfortably under a karting suit
  • Does not cause any discomfort in the kart seat
  • Provides sufficient freedom of movement while driving

A well-fitting rib protector significantly improves both safety and riding comfort.

About Bengio

Bengio was founded more than 15 years ago by Stefano Begnozzi after his son Alessandro suffered a serious chest injury during a karting race. Existing protective gear did not provide adequate protection, which led to the development of a completely new generation of rib protectors.

In collaboration with five-time world champion Danilo Rossi and the DR Racing Team, the Bengio rib protector was extensively tested and refined. Today, Bengio is one of the most respected brands in the world of karting safety gear.

Why choose the Bengio BUMPER CARBON FIA?

  • Maximum protection against impact and vibration
  • Professional quality
  • Handmade craftsmanship
