Alpinestars Tech-Air Off-Road System

Tech-Air Off-Road is a FIM homologated Airbag System designed specifically to handle the rigors of Rally riding and provide unrivalled upper body protection. Developed and tested since 2017, in the most grueling conditions of the Dakar Rally, the worlds toughest off-road race, the Tech-Air Off-Road System offers the most advanced active airbag technology for off-road riding. The Tech-Air Off-Road System, with the active airbag inflated, delivers CE Level 1 full Chest and full Back protection, plus coverage to the shoulders, neck, and collarbones in the event of a crash. The System is integrated with an Alpinestars Off-Road Protection Jacket that is equipped with a Level 1 passive full back and limb protection, integrated protection on the arms and a CE Level 2 passive full chest protector to offering riders enhanced roost protection against rocks, debris, and other obstacles they may come into contact with on the trail. Built tough enough to tackle any terrain, the System comes pre-loaded with three Riding Modes; ENDURO, RALLY, and STREET, making it the perfect choice for every type of off-road and street riding.

Key Features

• The worlds first dedicated off-road Airbag System, Tech-Air Off-Road comes with 3 Riding Modes; ENDURO, RALLY, AND STREET.
• Riding Modes are easy to navigate while on the move via the LED Display located on the front of the System, or via the Tech-Air App.
• The Tech-Air OFF-ROAD System features dual charge capability which means that with two full gas inflators, the System provides two separate airbag deployments, since only one gas inflator will deploy to inflate the entire Airbag System during a crash scenario.
• Quick release cover opening allows for rapid gas inflator replacement by user, only available in countries where gas inflator replacement by individuals is permitted by local regulations.
• A fully self-contained, standalone system; 3 accelerometers (1 triaxial accelerometer) and 3 gyroscopes (1 triaxial gyroscope) are integrated in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to provide the best crash monitoring performance and active airbag protection in a variety of dynamic off-road riding scenarios. No external sensors are required for the system to operate.
• The Tech-Air OFF-ROAD System uses an integrated, certified lithium-ion battery, with a fully charged battery life of 30 hours and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours; charging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide approximately 8 hours of riding time use.
• The LED Display features an integrated charging port for convenient and easy charging of the System; simply plug in the USB-C cable into the Recharge Port on the Systems LED Display and connect it to a power source.
• Ease of use; to turn on the Tech-Air Off-Road System, simply zip up the System and it will automatically turn on and activate the Airbag System. To deactivate the airbag, unzip the System and it will automatically turn off.
• A dedicated Shipping Mode slide switch is located on the ECU, which when turned on effectively puts the the System into sleep mode. Only accessible once the Electronic Case on the back protector is removed, the Shipping Mode switch allows the battery to be disconnected from the System during transportation or when the System will not be in use for a prolonged period of time. The System is sold with the Shipping Mode turned on, make sure to turn the Shipping Mode off when you open the box and use the Airbag System for the first time.
• The Tech-Air Off-Road Systems Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and airbag are completely removable so that the Protection Jacket can be washed separately.

Protection

• FIM Cross Country Rally Regulations Homologated for race use.
• Proven to be more than twice as protective as passive impact protectors.
• Dual gas inflators deliver two airbag deployments for guaranteed protection.
• Average inflation time of 52 milliseconds (depending on the size of the airbag).
• Airbag coverage on chest, back, shoulders, and neck provides upper body protection.
• Neck protection is provided by the airbag inflating around the neck in compliance with the FIM regulations.
• The airbag has been fully certified for up to 4 airbag deployments before having to replace it, providing the airbag hasnt been damaged in one of the first 3 deployments.

Construction

• Robust internal housing located in the built-in CE-certified Nucleon CELL back protector accommodates the System ECU and gas inflators, allowing the Tech-Air Off-Road System to be worn with any Alpinestars Tech-Air Ready jacket, or any properly fitting motorcycling jacket.
• The Tech-Air Off-Road Systems ECU is seal-protected within the vest to ensure all-weather performance and the vest and componentry are certified to function between -10C and 50C.
• The ECU has been homologated to ECE R10 04 which ensures the units electromagnetic integrity and stability.
• Bluetooth connectivity to a Tech-Air App means the Systems operational status, battery status and My Ride Trip recording can also be easily accessed on a mobile device, subject to network coverage.
• Users can easily update the Systems firmware when improved crash-detection algorithms are released via the Tech-Air App.
