Tech-Air® 10 is the innovative autonomous airbag to join the Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® family.
The impact absorption while wearing the Alpinestars tech-air 10 results in a decrease of impact force by up to 95% compared to a passive protector. Designed to protect shoulders, chest, full back and hips, the tech-air 10 provides the most comprehensive coverage for an airbag currently available.
Tech-Air® 10 can be worn under any Alpinestars Tech-Air® Ready or Tech-Air® Compatible leather suits, or any third-party leather suit with 4 cm of space around the circumference of the rider’s chest and 2 cm of room around the circumference of the rider’s hips. The additional space for the chest and hips is necessary to be able to accommodate the inflation of the airbag, in the event of a crash.
The tech-air 10 is designed for track and road use and can be used with both the RACE and the STREET riding modes which have specific AI crash detection algorithms. The Race riding mode must only be used for riding on closed racetracks and should not be used for any other types of riding.
The state-of-the-art, wearable tech-air 10 airbag system comes with an active electronic System that features 12 sensors (3 triaxial accelerometers plus 1 triaxial gyroscope) and crash detection algorithm that leverages AI to accurately monitor when to deploy the airbag in the event a crash.
Bluetooth connectivity to a Tech-Air app allows monitoring of the system's operational status, battery status and analysis of you ride including plotting your route on a map. The app allows you to easily switch between Street and Race Riding Modes, ensuring motorcyclists are protected during the daily commute and also when racing on closed-course racetracks.
Race-mode
In Race Mode, the Tech-Air® 10 System is active only while riding above approximately 60km/h (37mph) for at least 10 seconds. Before this activation or when the rider’s speed drops steadily below such speed for at least 10 seconds, the System deactivates. This is the standard behavior of the Tech-Air® 10 Airbag System when in Race Mode, as it is normal to have fast stop and go riding situations where the rider doesn’t want to switch off the airbag. In such conditions, it is safer for the rider to have the airbag automatically deactivated by the System to avoid undesired deployments of the airbag.
