Everyday Comfort

The Tech-Air 5 Airbag System is a self-contained airbag vest slim enough to be worn under virtually any jacket. It offers comprehensive upper body protection - covering the rider's shoulders, chest, ribs and full back. 

The Tech-Air 5 is designed for race and street use, so you'll be protected on and off the track.

Unparalleled Technology

The Tech-Air 5 utilizes six integrated sensors (3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers). These are combined with an algorithm developed closely with MotoGP race data and data from over 2,000 lab-simulated crash scenarios to determine when and how the system deploys. 

The Tech-Air 5 reduces impact forces by up to 93% compared to passive protection methods. The airbag has a maximum inflation time of up to 40ms (or less, depending on vest size). Inflation time is rapid enough to fully inflate the air chambers before impact. The vest also protects stopped riders in the event of a rear-end collision.

Rider Friendly Features

The Tech-Air 5 boasts 30 hours of riding time on a single charge. An LED display conveniently shows the system status directly on the garment. Alpinestars includes a micro USB charger for quick recharging. 

The Tech-Air App pairs via Bluetooth to the vest. The app displays the vest’s operational status, remaining battery life and provides a detailed analysis of your ride. Over-the-air firmware updates are also handled through the app.
