Tech-Air® is a groundbreaking electronic airbag system that offers riders upper body protection and the freedom to ride both on and off-road and in a wide range of weather conditions. The Tech-Air® System incorporates the airbag’s electronic control unit, componentry and airbag, which when inflated covers the back, kidney areas, chest and shoulders.

The Tech-Air® System, sold separately and completely self-contained, offers the possibility for the airbag to be used in conjunction with an Alpinestars airbag-compatible textile outer jacket for superb protection in all-weather and warm weather riding conditions.
The innovative and versatile Tech-Air® Street-E airbag system can be used with any type of motorcycle and/or scooter without the need to set-up, pair or reconfigure bike-to-rider or bike-to-passenger settings. The system is therefore immediately ready to be used at any time for any bike on any surface, and can be used equally for road riding and off road adventure touring.

Features

• The Tech-Air® System has been designed to be used in conjunction with airbag-compatible outer jackets.

• Comprehensive inflatable upper body protection for back, shoulders, kidney area, chest and upper abdomen.

• Electronic sensors are securely and unobtrusively incorporated within the system’s chassis (in the shoulder area), meaning it is completely self-contained and allows it to be worn interchangeably between compatible jackets.

• Constructed from a strong and durable mesh main shell with stretch poly-fabric on shoulders and torso for a compact and secure fit that is close to the rider’s body while allowing complete freedom of movement.

• Incorporates removable inner mesh and elastic Velcro waistband to position airbag system, to customize fit and improve adjustability.

• Tech-Air® ACU includes two connector cables allowing the rider to quickly and easily connect up to the outer jacket. ACU has been homologated to ECE R10 04, which ensures the electromagnetic integrity and stability of the unit.
