Tech-Air® 10 Airbag System
-
DetailTech-Air® 10 is the latest innovative autonomous airbag to join the Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® family, which includes the Tech-Air® Race, Tech-Air® Street and Tech-Air® 5 electronic Airbag Systems. Derived from Alpinestars’ airbag technology adopted by MotoGP riders, Tech-Air® 10 is a slim, self-contained wearable Airbag System that provides unrivaled body protection to racers, track day riders and road riders by covering the rider's shoulders, chest, full back and hips. 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 integrated, certified lithium-ion battery has a battery life of 24 hours of riding time.
- Developed from years of research with the world’s top MotoGP riders, and Alpinestars’ customers, data from millions of kilometers and thousands of crashes have been analyzed to continuously improve the intelligent crash detection algorithm.
- The Tech-Air® 10 System is extremely easy to use; just zip up the front and close the belt to activate the Airbag System, and you’re ready to ride. The internal belt automatically activates the System once it is fastened and secured.
- 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.
- The remote wireless LED display can be moved onto the rider’s arm to easily check the System’s status. The LED display can also be attached to the bike, depending on the rider’s preference.
- The Tech-Air® 10 System, requires approximately 4 hours to recharge a discharged battery with the supplied USB Charger. A fully charged battery will provide approximately 24 hours of use. If limited time is available, charging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide approximately 6 hours of use.
- The Tech-Air® 10 System may be quickly attached to the Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® 10 System Base Layer via easy-to-use lateral zips; this allows riders to substitute the base layer between riding sessions if desired.
- The Tech-Air® 10 System Base Layer is hand washable.
- The total weight of the Tech-Air® 10 (System and base layer) is 2.3kg for a size medium.
- 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.
- Bluetooth connectivity to a Tech-Air® App provides riders with the Airbag System’s operational status, battery status and MyRide trip information.
- Via the Tech-Air® App, riders can also update the System’s firmware when new crash-detection algorithms are released.
- 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 a crash detection algorithm that leverages AI to accurately monitor when to deploy the airbag in the event of a crash.
- The impact absorption while wearing the airbag results in a decrease of the impact force by up to 95% compared to a passive protector. When deployed, the Tech-Air® 10 Airbag System offers the same protection as that provided by 18 back protectors.
- The Tech-Air® 10 has CE certification Level 2 for both the chest and back.
- Upon the detection of a crash situation, a protective airbag is deployed, providing unrivaled protection to the rider with a maximum inflation time of 40ms.
- The Tech-Air® 10 Airbag System provides an even greater level of comprehensive coverage due to the additional protection of the riders’ hips and requires 2 argon gas inflators to fill the entire volume of the larger airbag when it is deployed in a crash situation. As such, Tech-Air® 10 does not have the dual charge concept like that of the Tech-Air® Race System.
- The System comes equipped with a USB charger and a magnetic Type C USB Cable that allows for quick, easy and convenient recharging.
- The Tech-Air® 10 System features an airbag that is certified for up to three inflations. However, after each deployment, when the System is received for service, the authorized Alpinestars Tech-Air® Service Centre will perform an inflation test on the airbag to check if the airbag has been damaged during the deployment. If the inflation test is passed, confirming that the airbag was not damaged during the deployment, the service will involve only the replacement of the gas inflators. If the inflation test is not passed, it means that the airbag was damaged during the deployment, and the System will undergo the full service that will involve the replacement of the gas inflators and the airbag. At the third deployment, the System will mandatorily undergo a full service, with the gas inflators and airbag being replaced.

Feels good while wearing, not too tight or hot 💨 But it did go off accidentally once while adjusting gear. Support was friendly, gave clear reset steps 🛠️ Not a total loss, but wish false triggers were less common.

Bought this for track racing and the comfort level is amazing 🏁 Feels almost invisible while riding at high speeds. Service was prompt, but instructions could be clearer 😅 Still very satisfied with the protection it offers.

Put it to the test during a downhill race and felt secure the whole time 🚀 Snug fit, moves with me, and not restrictive at all. Got delivered right on time just before the event 📦 Would recommend to any serious rider.

Used this system for a track day and it performed really well 👏 The airbag deployed smoothly during a minor fall and gave me great confidence while leaning into corners 🛤️ However, the instructions for resetting could be clearer but overall solid experience!

Took it on a surprise crash course through rocky terrain—and wow, did it save my backside 😅 The impact response is lightning fast ⚡ Super breathable fabric kept me cool even when temps spiked ☀️ And guess what? I’m writing this review instead of icing bruises 🧊 Shoutout to the delivery crew—they got it here before my next adventure weekend 🎯 Now I ride with confidence!
Mich********rds
Went on a weekend MX ride and got thrown off my bike — the Tech-Air® 10 activated instantly 🤘 I walked away with nothing but scratches. The fit was snug yet breathable all day long, didn’t even feel bulky under my jacket 😎 Got it shipped fast too!
Elea********hell
The tech specs look great, but mine didn’t deploy when I needed it most 😞 Fit was okay, but once you fall and it doesn't activate, it's hard to trust again. Support tried to help, but still left me unsure.
