Alpinestars launches Tech-Air® 5, the new generation, autonomous motorcycling airbag system. A self-contained wearable airbag vest making the technology more freely available.
This new release introduces functional improvements designed to enhance both the user experience and the overall serviceability of the product. You are now allowed to replace the canisters themselves, allowing for simpler and faster servicing. Please note that, in this updated version, Tech-Air® 5 continues to be certified for up to three deployments before the air bladder must be serviced. Fully compatible with Tech-Air® Type IV canisters.
Tech-Air® 5 is a slim, self-contained wearable airbag vest that can be worn under any proper fitting textile jacket 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 unrivalled upper body protection keeping motorcycle riders safe by uniquely covering the rider's shoulders, chest, ribs and full back. Shoulder protection is critical in a road impact, and riders’ shoulders are uniquely protected by Tech-Air®, effectively and efficiently minimizing the risk of the rider sustaining shoulder and 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 and 3 accelerometers) and 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 MotoGP riders, and Alpinestars customers, riding data from millions of kilometres and 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 unrivalled 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 in 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.
The system is also extremely easy to use, just zip up the vest and close the magnetic flap and you’re ready to ride. An LED display indicates the airbag’s operational status and 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 charger that allows quick, easy and convenient recharging. Tech-Air® 5 has Bluetooth connectivity and an accompanying Tech-Air® App, which uses the rider’s phone to display the system’s operational status, battery status and a detailed analysis of a ride; the system’s firmware can also be updated directly via the app.
NOTE:
PLEASE NOTE!
WARNING! The user does not need to be involved in a crash for the System to deploy. For example, the System will deploy if the user falls while wearing the System, such as when dismounting from the motorcycle. These types of “non-riding” deployments are not failures of the System.
