Tech-Air® 5 is a slim, self-contained, wearable airbag vest designed to be worn under any well-fitting textile or Tech-Air compatible jacket or leather jacket with 4cm of rider chest space. Tech-Air® 5 offers unmatched upper body protection and keeps the rider safe by uniquely covering the rider's shoulders, chest, ribs and entire back. In the event of a road impact, shoulder protection is vital and the rider's shoulders are uniquely protected by Tech-Air®, effectively and efficiently minimizing the risk of the rider suffering shoulder and collarbone injuries. Alpinestars Tech-Air® 5 offers the most comprehensive coverage of any airbag currently available.
The state-of-the-art Tech-Air® 5 wearable vest features an active electronic system with six integrated sensors (3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers) and a crash algorithm that uses AI to precisely monitor when the airbag deploys in the event of a crash Impact must be triggered. Developed from years of research with over 50% of the world's top MotoGP riders and Alpinestars customers, millions of kilometers of riding data and thousands of crashes have been analyzed to continuously improve the intelligent crash detection algorithm. Upon detection of a crash situation, a protective airbag is deployed providing unparalleled protection to the driver with a maximum inflation time of 20 to 40ms depending on the volume of the airbag size. The impact absorption when wearing the airbag leads to a reduction of the impact force by up to 95% compared to a passive protector. The Tech-Air® 5 airbag system offers the same protection as 18 back protectors.
The system is also extremely easy to use, just zip up the vest and close the magnetic flap and you're good to go. An LED display shows the operational status of the airbag, and the integrated, certified lithium-ion battery has a battery life of approximately 30 hours of driving time. The system is equipped with a magnetic micro USB charger that allows for quick, easy and convenient charging. Tech-Air® 5 features Bluetooth connectivity and a companion Tech-Air® App that displays system operational and battery status and detailed analysis of the ride via the driver's phone; the firmware of the system can also be updated directly via the app.
