Alpinestars Tech-Air® RACE
A fully autonomous, electronically managed airbag vest
for racing and high-performance road riding.
The Alpinestars Tech-Air® RACE Airbag System is an advanced
motorcycle safety device that operates independently of the bike. All
sensors are housed within the vest itself, eliminating the need for
motorcycle-mounted hardware. Once zipped in, the system is automatically armed
and ready to protect the upper body before the first impact, inflating
in as little as 25 milliseconds.
The system is only compatible with Alpinestars jackets
and suits specifically marked Tech-Air® Compatible. The design
includes Lycra®, 2D/3D mesh, Cordura®, and a breathable liner, providing
optimal comfort, ventilation, and flexibility.
