Description

Bengio Rib Protector PLUS Orange – Professional Rib and Back Protection for Karting

The Bengio Rib Protector PLUS Orange offers a high level of protection for kart drivers who want optimal protection for their ribs, chest, and back. This PLUS version features an integrated back protector that provides extra support for the spine and helps better absorb shocks and vibrations.

Thanks to the combination of high-quality materials, ergonomic design, and handcrafted production in Italy, this rib protector is an excellent choice for both recreational and competitive karters.

Protection against impact and vibration

While karting, the ribs and chest are constantly subjected to G-forces, vibrations from the chassis, and pressure from the kart seat. This can lead to painful bruises and strain on muscles and joints.

The Bengio Rib Protector PLUS Orange is designed to absorb these forces and distribute them evenly. Thanks to the extra back protection, the spine is also better supported during intense racing sessions.

High quality materials

The outer layer of the protector is made of strong composite fibers that offer excellent resistance to impact and wear.

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

  • Optimal absorption of impact energy
  • Vibration reduction
  • Better pressure distribution across the ribs and chest
  • Greater comfort during long races and training sessions

This craftsmanship has earned Bengio an excellent reputation in the world of karting.

Tips for optimal use

To maximize the protection and lifespan of the rib protector:

  • Always wear the protector under your karting suit.
  • Fill any gaps around the seat bolts with about 5 mm of foam.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Check the fit and condition of the protector regularly.

About 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 much higher level of protection than the products available at the time.

Thanks to years of development and collaboration with top drivers such as five-time world champion Danilo Rossi, Bengio has grown to become one of the leading brands in rib protection for karting.
