Tech-Air® Off-Road System
-
DetailTech-Air® Off-Road is a FIM homologated Airbag System designed specifically to handle the rigors of Rally riding and provide unrivalled upper body protection. Developed and tested since 2017, in the most grueling conditions of the Dakar Rally, the world’s toughest off-road race, the Tech-Air® Off-Road System offers the most advanced active airbag technology for off-road riding. The Tech-Air® Off-Road System, with the active airbag inflated, delivers CE Level 1 full Chest and full Back protection, plus coverage to the shoulders, neck, and collarbones in the event of a crash.The System is integrated with an Alpinestars Off-Road Protection Jacket that is equipped with a Level 1 passive full back and limb protection, integrated protection on the arms and a CE Level 2 passive full chest protector to offering riders enhanced roost protection against rocks, debris, and other obstacles they may come into contact with on the trail. Built tough enough to tackle any terrain, the System comes pre-loaded with three Riding Modes; ENDURO, RALLY, and STREET, making it the perfect choice for every type of off-road and street riding.
- Riding Modes are easy to navigate while on the move via the LED Display located on the front of the System, or via the Tech-Air® App.
- The Tech-Air® OFF-ROAD System features dual charge capability which means that with two full gas inflators, the System provides two separate airbag deployments, since only one gas inflator will deploy to inflate the entire Airbag System during a crash scenario.
- Quick release cover opening allows for rapid gas inflator replacement by user, only available in countries where gas inflator replacement by individuals is permitted by local regulations.
- A fully self-contained, standalone system; 3 accelerometers (1 triaxial accelerometer) and 3 gyroscopes (1 triaxial gyroscope) are integrated in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to provide the best crash monitoring performance and active airbag protection in a variety of dynamic off-road riding scenarios. No external sensors are required for the system to operate.
- The Tech-Air® OFF-ROAD System uses an integrated, certified lithium-ion battery, with a fully charged battery life of 30 hours and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours; charging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide approximately 8 hours of riding time use.
- The LED Display features an integrated charging port for convenient and easy charging of the System; simply plug in the USB-C cable into the Recharge Port on the System’s LED Display and connect it to a power source.
- Ease of use; to turn on the Tech-Air® Off-Road System, simply zip up the System and it will automatically turn on and activate the Airbag System. To deactivate the airbag, unzip the System and it will automatically turn off.
- A dedicated Shipping Mode slide switch is located on the ECU, which when turned on effectively puts the the System into sleep mode. Only accessible once the Electronic Case on the back protector is removed, the Shipping Mode switch allows the battery to be disconnected from the System during transportation or when the System will not be in use for a prolonged period of time. The System is sold with the Shipping Mode turned on, make sure to turn the Shipping Mode off when you open the box and use the Airbag System for the first time.
- The Tech-Air® Off-Road System’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and airbag are completely removable so that the Protection Jacket can be washed separately.
- Proven to be more than twice as protective as passive impact protectors.
- Dual gas inflators deliver two airbag deployments for guaranteed protection.
- Average inflation time of 52 milliseconds (depending on the size of the airbag).
- Airbag coverage on chest, back, shoulders, and neck provides upper body protection.
- Neck protection is provided by the airbag inflating around the neck in compliance with the FIM regulations.
- The airbag has been fully certified for up to 4 airbag deployments before having to replace it, providing the airbag hasn’t been damaged in one of the first 3 deployments.
- Performance tested according to DOLOMITICERT S.c.a.r.l. M.16.03.001.1 Protocol for Airbag Protectors Rev. 5 5/07/2022 on ENDURO, RALLY, and STREET algorithms.
- Performance tested according to DOLOMITICERT’s Technical Disciplinary for Inflatable Protectors with Electronic Activation Revision 5 dated 13 October 2023.
- IMPORTANT: neck protectors are NOT compatible with Airbag Systems, accordingly the Tech-Air® OFF-ROAD System is NOT compatible with the use of Alpinestars’ Bionic Neck Support (BNS) nor any other neck protections.
- Premium materials combined with an innovative design and honeycomb Nucleon Cell technology create a passive protector that is highly ventilated, lightweight, ergonomic, and robust.
- Constructed from a breathable stretch mesh for superior ventilation while keeping the protection close to the rider’s body, the protective garment is CE certified Class C under garment.
- Slim fit stretchable fabric construction features a floating, highly ventilated, and flexible thermoformed chest protector for an optimal riding experience.
- Both the chest and back protectors incorporate new Nucleon CELL Technology which is light, flexible and highly ventilated for enhanced performance.
- The Protection Jacket’s passive Chest protector is certified to CE Level 2, while the Back, Elbow and Shoulder protectors are certified to CE Level 1, providing additional protection against impacts in key areas; elbows and shoulders protectors are replaceable.
- Lateral zipper for a better fit and ease of use, and which allows the jacket to provide complete front chest protection.
- Ergonomic design delivers exceptional rider comfort and freedom of movement.
- Additional front padding on the arms and chest for enhanced roost protection.

Bought the Tech-Air® Off-Road System for my weekend MX rides and wow, it’s like wearing a safety cloud 🌤️ The human-centric design actually moves with me, not against me — finally something that doesn’t feel like armor from Game of Thrones ⚔️ Got it in time for our desert trip and man, it saved me during a tumble. Customer service was quick when I had a question too 👍 Definitely worth every penny if you ride like your life depends on it (because it does)

As soon as I received the Tech-Air® Off-Road System, I couldn't wait to wear it for mountain biking. It fits snugly but not tight, and I didn't feel restrained when running 😎 The back ventilation system saved my life when going uphill, and I didn't feel stuffy and sweaty no matter how hot it was 🙌 The customer service also sent me a user guide, and the logistics was also very fast. I give it a five-star rating!
Jes*******uyen
As an off-road enthusiast, this set of equipment is tailor-made for me! After putting it on, it feels like being hugged by a cloud, and there is no mark on my shoulders even after riding for a long time ❤️ The fit is great, and it doesn't get stuck when turning or braking 👍 The logistics arrived in just one week, and the customer service even asked me if I wanted to purchase accessories. The service is so heartwarming

It’s good, not perfect. Protection is legit — took a tumble and no pain 🧊 But the first few rides felt a bit stiff and needed breaking in 🧗♀️ Once it loosened up, the airflow kicked in and it became way more wearable 💨 Fit was true to size but a little snug out the box 😬 Customer service was friendly though and helped me pick the right size online 📞 Would give it another go once fully broken in
Eth******ter
Solid gear for off-road action! The Tech-Air system kept me protected and surprisingly comfortable 🧬 Even in hotter weather, it stayed breathable enough to not feel stuffy 😅 Was worried about overheating but it handled it better than expected 👍 The fit felt true to size and the material moved with me, not against me 🛞 Only thing holding back 5 stars was the slightly stiff initial wear-in period 🤖
Dani********nez
I've been using the Tech-Air® Off-Road System on dusty mountain trails and it’s a game-changer 😍 The breathable fabric kept me cool even during long rides, and the protection feels so responsive when I take a tumble 👍 Super comfortable fit like it's made just for me, and shipping was super fast too 🚀

Tech-Air changed the game for my MX sessions 🎮 Used to dread long rides because of discomfort, but this suit moves with you, not against you 🤸♂️ Took a few hits this weekend and felt nothing — just pure confidence boosting vibes 🔋 Breathable material kept things from getting sticky even under the sun ☀️ Ordered online and arrived faster than I thought with clear tracking updates 👟 Would 100% recommend to any serious rider looking for real protection without the bulk 💪

I finally found the holy grail of riding gear 🙌 Took it out on a muddy trail near Whistler and barely felt any strain on my body after hours of intense riding 🌿 Flexible, supportive, and feels like a second skin 🧤 Plus, the support team helped me pick the right size online — talk about贴心 service ❤️

Rode through some serious terrain this weekend and the Tech-Air system held up like a champ 🛡️ Usually my gear feels bulky or restricts movement, but not this one — it’s like armor that breathes 💨 Felt so confident taking jumps knowing I was protected without sacrificing agility 🏍️ The fit was spot on and didn’t chafe or shift around at all 🔥 Super stoked with how it performed and the service was smooth from checkout to delivery 📦✨

Used this in desert rally training and wow—it handled sweat, impact, and movement perfectly 🏜️ So glad I didn’t go with other stiff systems. Lightweight and breathable? Total win 🎯 Plus, lightning-fast shipping!! 📦
