The Motocross Permanent Bureau composed of Messrs. Jorge Viegas (FIM President) and David Luongo (Infront Moto Racing President and CEO) made the following decision:

01.65 EQUIPMENT AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING DURING PRACTICE AND RACE

65.01 Clothing and protectors

For FIM MXGP/ MX2/ Women’s World Championships and FIM Motocross of Nations:

• from 2027: the use of a functional/operational airbag system is highly recommended
• from 2028: the use of a functional/operational airbag system is compulsory. 

The airbag system must be either:
- a FIM Homologated Airbag Off-road (FRHPab-01)* or
- one of the Airbag systems declared compliant with FIM Category 3 (Motocross) listed HERE

The equipment must be worn, correctly fastened, at all times during on-track activity (the airbag must be functional/operational at least at the start of each track session). The decision of the FIM Technical Director is final in matters of rider equipment.
