For textile jackets, riders need 4cm of additional space around the circumference of the body. Riders who wish to wear a leather jacket that is not Tech-Air compatible must be sure that the leather jacket has an additional 4cm of space around the circumference of the entire body. Riders can also pair the Tech Air 7x Airbag Vest with any Alpinestars Tech-Air compatible jacket that features airbag expansion panels. Not intended for use with heated riding gear. Heated gear exceeds the Tech Air 7x's upper operating limit of 122° F.

Note: In the event of deployment of airbag, contact Alpinestars USA for west coast or Seacoast Sport Cycle for each coast. Detailed contact information can be found on the Instructions tab on the FAQ document on this product page. Pricing to repack the Tech-Air 7X is $99 USD per canister or $299 USD for canisters and bladder.



The FIM-approved Tech Air 7x Air Bag System by Alpinestars is designed for road racing, track days, and high-performance road riding, evolving from MotoGP Airbag technology. It offers intelligent, low-profile protection covering shoulders, chest, and the entire back, including extended coverage to the coccyx. With integration options for Alpinestars race suits or worn independently, the Tech Air 7x features sophisticated deployment algorithms, advanced electronic systems, and collaboration with MotoGP teams and riders for comprehensive safety.

Embrace Your Inner Racer

The Tech Air 7x can be integrated into compatible Alpinestars race suits and jackets or worn independently with any manufacturer's jackets or suits (with sufficient room for airbag expansion). Proprietary deployment algorithms enable the Tech Air 7x to work on race circuits, public roads and light off-road trails.

Whether you're tearing up the track or cruising the streets, the Tech-Air 7X has got your back – literally. It seamlessly integrates into any gear with enough room for its airbag to do its thing. From your daily grind to those adrenaline-pumping weekend adventures, this system adapts to your riding style, ensuring you're always covered when you hit the road.

Top-Tier Tech

The advanced Tech Air 7x System incorporates a sophisticated electronic system with twelve integrated sensors, including tri-axial accelerometers, gyroscopes and AI learning that monitor the rider's body for abrupt movements or impacts. Extensive collaboration with over 50% of the participating MotoGP teams, club riders and on-road customer miles have all factored into the Tech Air 7x Airbag's software development.

The Tech Air 7x System's meticulous development and rigorous testing ensure unparalleled accuracy and reliability, making it a pinnacle of safety innovation in the motorcycle industry.

Maximum Coverage

When a crash is detected, the Tech Air 7x deploys rapidly in 44 milliseconds or less (depending on airbag size). Two predefined riding modes can easily be toggled using the Tech Air App: "Race Mode" protects riders while in motion and offers two, independent deployments in the event of two separate on-track crashes.

In addition to the predefined riding modes, riders can customize settings through the Tech Air App to suit their specific preferences and riding style. With its cutting-edge features and user-friendly interface, the Tech Air 7x empowers riders to take control of their safety on every journey.

Total Control

"Street Mode", for road riding and light off-road use, protects riders while moving and stationary. A benefit of Street Mode is the added protection from rear-end collision while the rider is stopped at red lights, stop signs, stopped traffic, etc. 

Whether you're cruising through city streets or navigating off-road terrain, Street Mode ensures comprehensive protection in all situations. This mode's unique capability to safeguard riders while stationary offers peace of mind during urban commutes or congested traffic conditions. With Street Mode activated, riders can confidently tackle every aspect of their journey, knowing that the Tech Air 7x has their back at every stop and start.
