Differences between Bullet / Cyb-R and R-Pro ?

The main difference, apart from the price of course, is the thickness of the product. Indeed the R-Pro was developed with the aim of being able to be worn under the jersey. The Bullet / Cyb-R too, why not, but on a very slender body. And in any case, we will always see him more than the R-Pro in a jersey.

Why is the R-Pro thinner ?

We use a different material to make our inflatable parts (ASA – Air Shock Absorber), much more resistant, developed for our military division, and thanks to this we go from 10 PSI (0.68 Bars) for the Bullet / Cyb-R, at 20 PSI (1.37 Bars) for the R-Pro.

Therefore: more pressure = less air needed! It's as simple as that. So for those who have already dug our website, the second question that comes up is: why is it rated a little less well in performance ? (one star less)

Indeed, it is not easy to image or explain this.

Our criterion is based on the CE test, but the latter is to date, in our opinion, well outdated, in practice as in theory, serving more the interests of a few “lobbies”. As proof, the accident rate is not decreasing despite regulations that change every 4 years !

So to put it simply, our enemy as a chest protector manufacturer is :

• Speed.
• Height.
• Deceleration.

You understand, a heavy weight that falls quickly and stops quickly risks much more injuries than a light weight that goes slowly and can slide for a long time.

The falls are still very different from one to the other, and this rule does not apply all the time.

So to summarize, we considered a drop model, with a weight of 80 Kg, for which the Bullet would be a little more efficient than the R-Pro.

Do not ask me more, it would be impossible for me to answer you. Energy transmission is a complex subject, add the 3 parameters: weight / speed / and deceleration time, and it becomes unique for each crash and rider.
