Alpinestars has been redefining protection for motorcyclists ever since the company was established in 196" and Tech-Air 5, the all-new, autonomous motorcycling airbag system is the newest addition to the family.

Tech-Air 5 is the latest addition to the Alpinestars Tech-Air family, which includes the Tech-Air Race and Tech-Air Street Systems. Alpinestars continues to lead the way in active air-bag technology for riders and their passengers and Tech-Air 5 is a powerful demonstration of Alpinestars commitment to making the technology more freely available as the best possible choice of 'active' airbag protection in the market.

Tech-Air 5 is a slim, self-contained wearable airbag vest that can be worn under any proper fitting textile jacket or Tech-Air compatible jacket, or any leather jacket with 4 cm of space around the circumference of the rider's chest. Tech-Air 5 offers unrivaled upper body protection keeping motorcycle riders safe by uniquely covering the rider's shoulders, chest, ribs and full back. Shoulder protection is critical in a road impact, and riders shoulders are uniquely protected by Tech-Air, effectively and efficiently minimizing the risk of the rider sustaining shoulder and collarbone injuries. Alpinestars Tech- Air 5 provides the most comprehensive coverage of any airbag currently available.

Features:

  • The state-of-the-art, wearable Tech-Air 5 vest comes with an active electronic system that features six integrated sensors (3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers) and a crash algorithm that leverages AI to accurately monitor when to deploy the airbag in the event of a crash. Developed from years of research with over 50% of the world's top MotoGP riders, and Alpinestars customers, riding data from millions of kilometers and thousands of crashes have been analyzed to continuously improve the intelligent crash detection algorithm. Upon the identification of a crash situation, a protective airbag is deployed, providing unrivaled protection to the rider with a maximum inflation time of 20 to 40ms based on the volume of the airbag size. The impact absorption while wearing the airbag results in a decrease of the impact force by up to 95% compared to a passive protector. The Tech-Air 5 Airbag System offers the same protection as that provided by 18 back protectors(2).
  • The system is also extremely easy to use, just zip up the vest and close the magnetic flap and you're ready to ride. An LED display indicates the airbag?s operational status and the integrated, certified lithium ion battery has a battery life of 30"hours of riding time. The system comes equipped with a magnetic micro USB charger that allows quick, easy and convenient recharging.
  • Tech-Air 5 has Bluetooth connectivity and an accompanying Tech-Air App, which uses the rider's phone to display the system's operational status, battery status and a detailed analysis of a ride; the system's firmware can also be updated directly via the app.
  • Nearly 20 years ago, Alpinestars began development on the original Tech-Air System. When launched in the market in 2014" the Tech-Air system was recognized as the world's first airbag providing full upper body protection with a completely independent electronic management system, in addition to having the versatility of the vest which could be easily zipped into a variety of Tech-Air compatible jackets. In December 2019, Tech-Air 5 has already been recognized by CES as one of the must-see innovative products in the Wearables Technology Marketplace.
Notes:
  • The Tech-Air 5 wearable vest is designed to be worn under any proper fitting textile jacket, keeping in mind that the jacket must be large enough to accommodate the expansion of the airbag in the event of a crash. For textile jackets this requires an additional 4 cm of space around the circumference of the body. For those riders who want to wear a sports leather jacket, Tech-Air 5 may also be worn with Tech-Air compatible leather jackets which have built in leather expansion panels to accommodate the inflation of the airbag. Riders who wish to wear a leather jacket that is not Tech-Air compatible must be sure that the leather jacket has an additional 4 cm of space around the circumference of the entire chest.
  • The Tech-Air 5 Airbag System offers the same protection as that provided by 18 CE Level 1 back protectors, as verified by SGS, an Official CE Certification company, that provides independent testing of product conformity with European Personal Protection Regulations
  • In addition to motorcyclists being able to ride protected during their commute, riders can now easily switch to RACE Riding Mode and ride on closed-course racetracks. The newly released Tech-Air App allows riders to easily switch between STREET and RACE Riding Modes. RACE Riding Mode must ONLY be used for riding on closed racetracks and not be used for any other type of riding.

Who is Alpinestars?

The company started in 1963 when leather craftsman Sante Mazzarolo produced the first product bearing the Alpinestar name. At that time, motocross racing was just an up and coming motorsport event. Mazzarolo noticed the need for footwear that would protect the riders from the harsh condition of motocross racing. It was a success all over Europe that it has become the benchmark for future designs of boots.

As years went by, more and more riders started using Alpinestars boots and have become part of past motocross champions' success, and by the mid-'90s, they launched the first technical apparel line. Today Alpinestar is a household name when it comes to protective wear, not just by motorcycle riders but other racing disciplines such as  Formula one, Kart racing, and more. 

Innovation

What makes Alpinestar successful is its ability to innovate and create products ahead of its current competitors. They are able to mesh style, comfort, and safety into one, making it the most sought-after protective gear in the market.

Revolutionizing Protective Gears

In 2014, Alpinestars introduced the very first Airbag for motorcycles. Unlike with cars, the only protection a motorcycle rider has is their gear, and this is what Alpinestar provided. With their Tech-Air technology, they are able to utilize modern advancements such as accelerometers and gyros to create an airbag vest that would deploy the same way as to how airbags deploy in cars. Since its introduction, it has saved numerous lives both on the race track and on the streets.
