Top-Tier Protection Without Compromising Your Drip

If you're a city commuter or street rider looking for an added layer of protection, look no further than the Tech-Air 3. It's the lightest autonomous airbag system offered by Alpinestars and it can be worn under or over your jacket, so you can ride comfortably.

Cutting Edge Technology

The Tech-Air 3 comes equipped with the Tech-Air 5's Street crash detection algorithm, which leverages A.I. to accurately determine when to deploy the airbag in the event of a crash. Additionally, the Tech-Air 3 utilizes six integrated sensors to provide the best crash monitoring performance and active airbag protection in a variety of dynamic street riding scenarios, even when stopped. This combination allows the Tech-Air 3 System to accurately assesses when to deploy the airbag ahead of an impact, or other dangerous situation like a lowside or highside crash. The system will activate the protective airbag in milliseconds depending on the size of the airbag. Once inflated, the airbag provides full upper body protection, keeping you safe by uniquely covering your full chest and back. The Tech-Air 3 features an integrated back protector pocket as an additional safety feature (back protector sold separately).

Intuitive Monitoring System

An LED display on the front chest indicates the airbag's operational status and features a haptic alert which vibrates to confirm that the system is armed, and again when the battery is running low. Bluetooth connectivity to the Tech-Air App allows you to monitor the Tech-Air 3's operational status, battery status and access a detailed map of your ride.

Rider Friendly Tech

Experience enhanced control and monitoring with Bluetooth connectivity to the Tech-Air App. This intuitive app empowers riders by providing real-time insights into critical aspects such as the airbag system's operational status, battery life and a detailed ride analysis, including route plotting on an accessible map. The Tech-Air 3 uses the street algorithm only and is not meant for race use.
