Tech-Air by Alpinestars offers advanced autonomous airbag systems and wearable protective gear designed to maximize impact safety for motorcycle riders.
Tech-Air is Alpinestars' innovative line of autonomous wearable airbag systems, engineered to provide maximum upper body protection for motorcyclists. Utilizing AI-powered crash detection, built-in tri-axial accelerometers, and gyroscopes, the system detects impacts and deploys within milliseconds. It offers robust protection for the chest, back, and shoulders during street riding, track racing, or off-road adventures.
The product family features devices such as the Tech-Air 5, Tech-Air MX, and Tech-Air 7x, all designed to function independently of the motorcycle itself. Users can connect their systems natively to a smartphone via Bluetooth using the Tech-Air App. This app provides access to system status, battery life, over-the-air firmware updates, and switchable setups like Street Mode or Race Mode. For peak performance and rider safety, routine care, proper maintenance, and certified gas inflator replacements are crucial components of owning a Tech-Air system.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
No, the Airbag System is designed to protect against impacts during accidents. It does not offer protection against abrasion and must always be used in conjunction with a compatible outer protective garment.
The system features built-in Bluetooth that connects to the mobile Tech-Air App (available for iOS and Android). You can use the app to check system status, view battery life, and receive over-the-air software updates.
Once deployed, there is no additional gas inflator available for inflation until the system is serviced. The system must typically be sent to an authorized Alpinestars Tech-Air Service Center for inflator replacement and inspection. Some Off-Road and 7x systems use two inflators, which must be carefully replaced following the manufacturer's manual guidelines.
First, you must remove all non-washable electronic components (Airbag Control Unit, LED Display, Sensors, and Airbag) and gas inflators. For the base layer, follow the care label strictly, which typically allows hand washing at 30°C. Never machine wash the fully assembled system.
Yes, depending on your model. Systems like the Tech-Air 5 feature a 'Race Mode' for track use, and the MX system offers 'MX Race', 'Enduro', and 'Rally' modes. Modes can be seamlessly switched via the Tech-Air App.
