  • The System is CE certified as a protective garment for motorcycle riders according to the EN 17092-6:2020 as a Class C undergarment

Note: Read the entire user manual prior to operation. It is highly recommended that the Tech-Air 5 Plasma always be used together with a protective outer garment, as the Tech-Air 5 Plasma is NOT abrasion resistant. It can be used with any protective garment that covers the upper body and that is designed for motorcycle riding, provided that the garment has sufficient space to allow for the expansion of the airbag after the deployment. Not intended for use with heated riding gear. Heated gear exceeds the Tech-Air 5's upper operating limit of 122° F. 

The Tech-Air series of autonomous airbag systems by Alpinestars are custom tailored for your type of riding. Whether your goal is going fast, commuting in the urban cityscape or exploring the road less traveled, Alpinestars has a Tech-Air autonomous airbag system for you.

A Lightweight Powerhouse Of Protection

The Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag System features a lightweight, minimal material design with a flexible Nucleon Plasma back protector and a single canister system, making it 25% lighter than its predecessor and the lightest Alpinestars Airbag System to date. It offers full upper body protection, covering the shoulders—vital in crashes—along with the chest, ribs, and back. The CE certified Level 1 Nucleon Plasma back protector is ultra-adaptive, offering an ideal blend of force dispersion, flexibility, and comfort for added protection without extra bulk.

Sleek And Breezy

Thoughtfully engineered for an “invisible under the jacket feel,” the Tech-Air 5 Plasma Airbag System provides freedom of movement and optimal breathability while ensuring advanced protection. Its slim profile and adaptive stretch fit deliver exceptional comfort and mobility. The mono-layer stretch mesh construction at the collar, underarms, and front, along with extended mesh panels and moisture-wicking treatment, offers superior ventilation and comfort, making the Tech-Air 5 Plasma unmatched in comfort!

High-Tech Made Simple

The system charges via included USB-C cable and boasts a battery life of up to 30 hours of riding time on a single charge. An integrated LED display conveniently shows the system status, riding mode and battery level directly on the garment.

The Tech-Air 5 Plasma features Bluetooth connectivity to pair with the Tech-Air App. The app uses your  phone to display the system’s operational status, battery status and provides a detailed analysis of your ride with MyRide. Over-the-air software updates are also handled through the app.
