Alpinestars Tech Air 5 V2 Motorcycle Airbag System

Tech-Air® 5 V2 is a slim, fully self-contained wearable airbag vest and standalone system (no external sensors are required for the System to operate), providing upper body airbag coverage on back, shoulders, chest, and ribs.

The wearable airbag vest can be worn with any Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® Ready jacket, or any properly fitting textile or leather motorcycling jacket with 4 cm of space around the circumference of the rider’s upper body to accommodate the inflation of the airbag in the event of a deployment (always visit an authorised dealer to ensure an optimum fit and always follow the recommended sizing guidelines).

The Tech-Air® 5 V2 system, when inflated, offers the same protection as that provided by 18 CE certified Level 1 back protectors.

Key Features
- Main chassis constructed from a lightweight mesh fabric with extensive mesh throughout for optimum levels of comfort and high levels of breathability.
- Perforated zone on the back protector for enhanced Airflow and improved breathability.
- Specially developed internal air channels on interior of the vest’s back for additional Airflow performance.
- Magnetic zip closure for ease of use and a secure closure.
- LED display on front hem indicates the airbag’s operational status.

- Tech-Air®’s ECU is seal-protected within vest to ensure the all-weather performance and the vest and componentry are certified to function between -10°C and 50°C (-14°F and 122°F).
- ECU has been homologated to ECE R10 04 which ensures the electromagnetic integrity and stability of the unit.
- Tech-Air® uses an integrated, certified lithium-ion battery, with a battery life of 30 hours and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours.

- System’s software is easily and conveniently upgradable via the free Tech-Air® App, and an external service record will be managed by Service Centers via the Tech-Air® Data Portal.
