Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 V2 Airbag System
Professionally developed, the Tech-Air® 5 System is Alpinestars’ most advanced motorcycle airbag for road riders, delivering autonomous upper‑body protection in a vest. Six sensors and an AI algorithm trigger 20–40ms inflation, reducing impact forces by up to 95% and covering shoulders, chest, ribs, and full back. Worn under textile or leather jackets with 4 cm chest expansion, it offers comfort and confidence; Tech-Air® App enables STREET and RACE (closed‑course) modes.
- Deployment timing optimization: Intelligent event classification triggers inflation only when needed to protect you at the critical moment while minimizing false activations.
- Energy absorption benchmarking: Impact mitigation validated against stringent industry metrics to help lower injury risk in real‑world street scenarios.
- Protection equivalency: When inflated, energy absorption comparable to 18 CE Level 1 back protectors for confidence‑inspiring coverage.
- User-friendly controls: Simple arming workflow and clear status feedback keep operation effortless so you can focus on the ride.
- Power management: Certified lithium‑ion battery provides up to 30 hours of ride time; convenient recharging keeps you ready for the next ride.
- Connectivity and app control: Bluetooth links to the Tech-Air® App for system status, battery level, firmware updates, and ride analytics right from your phone.
- Riding modes: STREET and RACE modes selectable in‑app; use RACE Mode only on closed‑course racetracks; easily switch to match your ride.
- Compatible under properly fitting textile jackets and most leather jackets that provide 4 cm of chest expansion, preserving the required deployment volume for correct airbag inflation and protective performance.
- Self-contained protective vest providing rapid airbag inflation (20–40 ms, size- and impact-dependent) and high impact force attenuation (up to 95% reduction), including unique shoulder protection critical in street crashes; protective performance when inflated is equivalent to 18 CE Level 1 back protectors.
