Alpinestars Tech-Air® RACE
Standalone airbag vest with state-of-the-art electronic protection for both racing and road riding.
The Alpinestars Tech-Air® RACE is an advanced airbag system for motorcyclists that works completely independently of the motorcycle – the sensors are integrated directly into the vest, not the bike. Once switched on, the system is ready to protect the upper body even before the first impact – the airbag inflates within 25 milliseconds.
The Tech-Air® RACE is designed exclusively for use with Tech-Air® Compatible jackets and suits from Alpinestars. Activation occurs automatically when the zipper is closed. Thanks to its flexible construction using materials such as Lycra®, 2D and 3D mesh, Cordura®, and a perforated inner lining, it ensures perfect comfort, fit, and airflow.
