Alpinestars Tech-Air 7x System -Black/Red

Specifically developed for road racing; track day use and performance road riding; the FIM-homologated; Tech-Air 7x System is derived from Alpinestars’ proven MotoGP Airbag technology.

The fully autonomous; self-contained motorcycling Airbag System is engineered for racing; offering riders streamlined; low profile; and highly ventilated Tech-Air protection. Developed for performance/recreational motorcycling; the Tech-Air 7x provides riders with comprehensive upper body protection by covering their shoulders; chest; and full back. The integrated back protector is extended in length for additional protection of the coccyx.

The Tech-Air 7x System can be used as a Standalone System or as an Integrated System within a compatible suit or jacket. The System is designed to function for racing on closed-circuit tracks; as well as for road riding; and light off-road riding.

The state-of-the-art; wearable Tech-Air 7x System comes with an active electronic system that features twelve integrated sensors: 3 triaxial accelerometers (1 positioned on the back protector and 2 positioned on the shoulders) and 1 triaxial gyroscope (located within the back protector). These sensors monitor the rider’s body for shocks or unexpected movements.

Developed through years of research in collaboration with over 50% of the world’s leading MotoGP riders and Alpinestars’ customers riding with Tech-Air Systems; our team has analyzed riding data from millions of kilometers and thousands of crashes to continuously enhance the System’s intelligent crash detection algorithms. Upon the identification of a crash situation; which happens when the rider’s body is subjected to a high and/or sudden amount of energy; the algorithm will trigger the deployment of the protective Airbag; providing unrivaled protection to the rider or the passenger wearing the System (with a maximum inflation time of 44ms; depending on the volume of the Airbag size). The impact absorption while wearing the Airbag when inflated; results in a decrease of the impact force by up to 90% compared to a passive CE Level 1 protector.

The Tech-Air 7x System comes pre-loaded with two different Riding Modes: RACE Mode for riding on closed-circuit racetracks and STREET Mode for street and light off-road riding. Users can easily switch between Race and Street Riding Modes by simply using the Tech-Air App.

The System must always be used in Street Mode when driving on public roads and NOT on a closed-circuit racetrack. Riders should always remember to switch from Race Mode to Street Mode when they’ve finished at the circuit and leave the track; to ensure that they have full protection; even when stopped at traffic lights; intersections; or for any reason. Airbag protection when stopped is only provided by the Street Mode algorithm.
