ONTARIO, California – Safariland® announced today that it has released the Safariland®/Kona® Patrol Bike (29er) in white. The Safariland/Kona Patrol Bike is built from the ground up as the premium patrol bike for law enforcement and security markets and utilizes some of the most technologically advanced components in the industry. The new white color with its bright high-gloss finish provides increased visibility for those in public safety and industrial markets.

“Since its debut in 2012, an increasing number of agencies are now choosing the Safariland/Kona as their bike of choice. With the growing demand for patrol bikes among public safety markets, the addition of the white bike was the logical step for Safariland because high-visibility is of utmost importance to these groups,” stated Scott Carnahan, VP for the Safariland Patrol Bike brand.

The Safariland/Kona 29er in white allows for smooth riding, even on rough terrain. Whether climbing hills or riding on asphalt, the 30-speed Shimano® drivetrain allows for quick and easy gear shifting. This patrol bike is ergonomically designed for better rider response providing a more upright position with more clearance in the cock-pit. There is no need to purchase additional bolt-on rear racks or a kickstand, which can damage the frame, since they are integrated into the Safariland/Kona Patrol Bike. The white 29er is constructed of durable Kona® Race Light 7005 aluminum, making it lightweight for a rider to easily carry.

The Safariland/Kona Patrol Bike-White includes the following features:

Hydraulic disc brakes – for additional breaking power
Ergonomic grips – for added comfort
Internal cabling system – for non-obstructive riding
Sloping toptube – with padding for more stand-over clearance and comfort – ideal for long shifts
RockShox™ – high-performance forks
Tapered oversized headtube – for improved stability, durability and overall riding performance

Safariland Adds Another NIJ Standard-0101.06 Model

NIJ Standard-0101.06 ModelJACKSONVILLE, Florida – Safariland, a BAE Systems line of business, announced today that it has released an additional armor model that satisfies the requirements of the National Institute of Justice’s (NIJ) new Voluntary Body Armor Compliance Testing Program under NIJ Standard-0101.06 (NIJ-06).

The XT01 Type II is part of the ABA®, Xtreme Series of concealable armor. Tested against the 9mm & .357 mag. NIJ-designated rounds, the XT01 Type II is a hybrid armor design that combines the high performance of Honeywell® Gold Shield® ballistic material with Twaron® Microlaminate for enhanced ballistic and chemical resistance. The combination of these materials provides reliable protection against a wide array of threats, while also offering an enhanced degree of flexibility.

“The XT01 gives us a baseline, entry-level offering that adds to our existing family of armor solutions,” says Tim O’Brien, Concealable Armor Product Manager. “The package is competitively priced and offers the performance and comfort that many officers desire.”

The NIJ introduced the Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor NIJ Standard-0101.06 to establish minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of personal body armor. The standard provides improved performance of body armor so that officers receive adequate protection against those threats likely faced over the next decade. According to the new NIJ-06 standard, body armor must now be able to defend against increased velocities of ammunition calibers to better reflect current street threats and law enforcement duty weapons. These new performance requirements are critical components to improving the life-protecting equipment being used by law enforcement today.

All Safariland concealable armor models are certified using NIJ approved size templates C1 and C5, which offer law enforcement the widest range of production sizes available. In addition to these models, Safariland offers an array of concealable and tactical products, which are available and posted to the NIJ Compliant Products List (CPL) at http://www.justnet.org/Pages/06_CPL.aspx.

Safariland’s body armor models combine the heritage and expertise of American Body Armor, Second Chance®, SAVVY® and PROTECH® Tactical. In doing so, Safariland offers the most comprehensive line of body armor available in the industry. Safariland’s NIJ-06 body armor provides law enforcement officers with enhanced performance, durability, comfort and value, which deliver on the company’s motto: Together, We Save Lives™.
