Description

Bengio Rib Protector PLUS Green – Rib and Back Protection for Karting

Bengio Rib Protector PLUS Green is a high-quality rib protector designed for kart drivers seeking maximum protection for their ribs, chest, and back. This PLUS version features integrated back protection that provides extra support for the spine and helps better absorb impact forces during practice sessions and races.

Thanks to a combination of advanced materials, an ergonomic fit, and handcrafted production in Italy, this rib protector is one of the most highly regarded protective systems in karting.

Extra protection for ribs and back

While karting, the ribs, chest, and back are constantly exposed to vibrations, G-forces, and impacts. Without adequate protection, these stresses can lead to painful bruises and long-term injuries.

The Bengio Rib Protector PLUS Green is designed to effectively absorb and distribute these forces. The additional back protection supports the spine and enhances comfort during long racing sessions.

High quality materials

The Bengio PLUS is made from strong composite fibers that offer excellent resistance to impacts and long-term stress.

The internal padding made of high-quality shock-absorbing foam:

  • Effectively absorbs impact energy
  • Reduces vibrations from the chassis and kart seat
  • Reduces pressure on the ribs and chest
  • Improves ride comfort and stability

Tips for optimal use

For the best protection and to extend the life of your gear:

  • Protect protruding seat bolts with approximately 5 mm of foam.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Check the fit and overall condition of the protector regularly.

The story behind Bengio

Bengio was founded after kart racer Alessandro Begnozzi suffered a serious chest injury during a race. His father, Stefano, then developed an innovative rib protector that offered a higher level of protection than existing products on the market.

Working in collaboration with top drivers, including five-time world champion Danilo Rossi, Bengio has grown to become one of the most respected manufacturers of rib protection for karting.
