Since 1979, iXS has been redefining what protection means for motorcyclists and mountain bikers worldwide. With a legacy built on innovation, performance, and safety, we create gear that’s trusted on trails, tracks, and everything in between. Recognised for award-winning design and industry-leading innovation, iXS continues to raise the bar. From our headquarters in Sursee, Switzerland, a dedicated team of experts designs high-performance products that push boundaries — combining maximum protection with uncompromising performance. The introduction of our 100% Airbag Ready standard marked a major milestone — making us the first brand to fully commit to the next era of motorcycle safety.
iXS is part of the Swiss, family-owned hostettler group, a trusted name for nearly 120 years. The company has a rich history of expertise in motorcycles, bicycles, consumer electronics, garden robots, and the automotive industry.
