Includes:: the Tech-Air® Race & Tech-Air® Street systems. Alpinestars continues to lead the way in active air-bag technology for riders & their passengers & 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 1 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 & full back. Shoulder protection is critical in a road impact, & riders’ shoulders are uniquely protected by Tech-Air®, effectively & efficiently minimizing the risk of the rider sustaining shoulder & collarbone injuries. Alpinestars Tech- Air® 5 provides the most comprehensive coverage of any airbag currently available. The state-of-the-art, wearable Tech-Air® 5 vest comes with an active electronic system that features six integrated sensors (3 gyroscopes & 3 accelerometers) & 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 Moto GP riders, & Alpinestars customers, riding data from millions of kilometers & 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 & close the magnetic flap & you’re ready to ride. An LED display indicates the airbag’s operational status & 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 (Universal Serial Bus) charger that allows quick, easy & convenient recharging. Tech-Air® 5 has Bluetooth connectivity & an accompanying Tech-Air® App, which uses the rider’s phone to display the system’s operational status, battery status & 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 (1) 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. (2) 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
