Bengio's rib protector technology has evolved with the AB7, making it the first rib protector in the Bengio family to be homologated with the FIA 8870-2018 standard. The layout of the AB7 provides a better fitting in the driving position with the elastic shoulder straps allowing for a wide range of adjustability for any body structures. The internal padding is made from high shock absorbent foam that allows the dispersion of impact energy and vibrations reducing fatigue and risk of injury.
Developed with input from World champion kart racers, Bengio Bumper Rib Protectors are hand crafted in in Italy to produce a high quality product which is comfortable to wear and offers high levels of protection.The Bumper Standard Rib Protector is manufactured from multi layers of fibreglass which are dipped in a special resin putty. The result is a stiff, reactive and resilient material which prevents splintering and has high puncture resistance. The padding in the bumper standard is designed to reduce the effects of impacts on the rib area but it also reduces vibration transmitted from the seat. This can reduce fatigue and improve driver concentration.

The new Ribtect4 rib protector boasts an improved outer panel that will last longer while providing improved protection. The material has higher impact strength and has been manufactured in the USA with better consistency. The new and high tech material that the panels are constructed of have already proved superior to their Ribtect predecessors through many 'hammer' tests. On-track testing has proven that the Ribtect4 will be the best and most long lasting Ribtect vest that Mott and his team have ever produced.
