Alpinestars Tech-Air 7X System

Developed from MotoGP-proven technology, the Tech-Air 7X System is Alpinestars' most advanced motorcycle airbag system for road racing and track days. FIM-approved and CE-certified, it deploys in as little as 44 ms with 12-sensor AI detection, covers shoulders, chest, back and coccyx, and cuts impact forces by up to 90% vs passive Level 1 back protection, with Ride Modes for track and street, plus a ventilated chassis.

Key features

• Ride Modes: RACE for track and STREET for road/light off-road-switchable via the Tech-Air App-for optimal detection tuned to your ride.
• Suit Compatibility: optimized to pair with Alpinestars Tech-Air Ready gear and third-party suits with 4 cm chest clearance for a precise, race-focused fit.
• Convertible Use: wear the Tech-Air 7X System standalone or integrate with compatible suits/jackets for flexible protection across setups.
• Dual Inflators: two deployments before service to keep you riding through back-to-back sessions.
• Quick-release Cover: enables rapid gas inflator replacement where permitted by local regulations, minimizing downtime.
• Long-life Battery: up to 20 hours per charge; one hour of charging delivers ~8 hours of ride time for all-day coverage.
• Auto Power: magnetic Front Flap provides automatic on/off so the system is armed when you are.
• Washable Base Layer: easy-care chassis for routine cleaning between track days.
