Description
+ Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 Airbag System is an ‘over’ the jacket solution designed for cruiser and custom riders and offers effective upper body protection by covering the rider’s full chest and full back.
+ Featuring a main chassis constructed with premium leather that has been softened for comfort, and a waterproof ECU and electronics, this slim, self-contained system can also be worn under a motorcycle jacket, including any Alpinestars’ compatible jacket, any leather or textile jacket, providing that the jacket has sufficient space to accom – modate the inflation of the airbag.
+ It’s extremely reliable; Alpinestars’ crash detection triggering algorithm has been developed and refined with over 2 million kilometers of riding data and over 2,000 crashes, allowing the system to accurately assess when to deploy the airbag ahead of an impact or other dangerous situation like a lowside or highside crash, and in the event that Tech-Air® 3 detects the start of a crash, the system will activate the protective airbag, with an average inflation time of 50ms, depending on the size of the airbag.
KEY FEATURES:
+ A fully self-contained system, Tech-Air® 3 does not require any external connections or sensors on the motorcycle for the system to operate. Tech-Air® 3 is a fully autonomous active airbag system.
