The Most Advanced
Autonomous Airbag System
Engineered for active upper-body protection, Tech-Air® combines intelligent crash detection, rapid deployment, and rider-focused comfort in one advanced system.
Active Impact Protection
Tech-Air® is an electronically controlled airbag system designed to deliver active protection in a crash scenario. By deploying an airbag at the moment of impact, it helps reduce force transmission across critical upper-body zones compared to traditional passive armor alone.
Intelligent Detection System
An integrated network of sensors continuously analyzes rider movement, speed, and orientation. Advanced algorithms interpret this data in real time, distinguishing between normal riding inputs and crash conditions to trigger deployment with precision.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Bluetooth connectivity to the Tech-Air® app allows monitoring of the system's operational status, battery status, and analysis of your ride, including plotting your route on a map.
6 Integrated Sensors
Crash monitoring across dynamic riding situations, even when stopped.
Ideal for Commuting
Lightweight system built for urban and everyday riding.
Bluetooth Connectivity
App integration for status, battery, and ride mapping.

FAQs
What is Tech-Air® and how does it work?
Tech-Air® is Alpinestars' electronic airbag system that uses AI-powered crash detection algorithms to deploy protective airbags in milliseconds during an impact. The system continuously monitors riding data through integrated sensors, analyzing parameters like acceleration, trajectory, and body position. When a crash is detected, the airbag deploys faster than mechanical systems, helping protect the chest, back, shoulders, and neck. Tech-Air® operates independently without requiring tethers or bike connections, making it versatile across street, track, and off-road riding.
Which Tech-Air® system is right for my riding style?
Alpinestars offers Tech-Air® systems for different riding disciplines. Road and track riders can choose between vest systems worn over or under jackets. Adventure and touring riders benefit from systems designed for long-distance comfort with extended battery life. Off-road and motocross riders have dedicated Tech-Air® systems engineered for the unique crash dynamics of dirt riding. Each system is calibrated specifically for its intended use, with algorithms trained on real-world crash data from that discipline.
How long does the Tech-Air® battery last and how do I charge it?
Tech-Air® systems offer between 25 to 30 hours of riding time per charge, depending on the specific model. The system uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that charges via USB connection in approximately 6 hours. Battery status is displayed through LED indicators on the system, and alerts let you know when charging is needed. The modular design also allows easy battery access and replacement for long-term serviceability without requiring factory service for routine maintenance.
Can I use Tech-Air® with any motorcycle jacket or suit?
Tech-Air® compatibility depends on the system type. Vest-style Tech-Air® systems are designed to be worn over or under compatible jackets, offering flexibility to use with multiple garments. However, proper fit is essential for optimal protection—the vest must sit correctly on your body without excessive movement. Check our Tech-Air® compatibility guide to ensure your existing gear works with vest systems, or explore jackets and suits specifically engineered for Tech-Air® integration.
What safety certifications do Tech-Air® systems have?
Tech-Air® systems meet the highest international safety standards for airbag protection. Road and track systems are certified to CE Category II, EN 1621-4 Level 2 for back protection when deployed. Many Tech-Air® equipped garments also carry FIA homologation for professional motorsports use. The systems undergo rigorous real-world testing in MotoGP, World Superbike, and other championship racing series, with continuous refinement based on professional rider feedback and crash data analysis.
