Alpinestars Airbag System

The Alpinestars Tech-Air® MX System is a revolutionary, fully self-contained airbag system designed for motocross and supercross riders. Developed from decades of racing experience across MotoGP, Dakar Rally, MXGP, and AMA Supercross, it delivers precise, rapid airbag deployment in the unpredictable conditions of MX tracks—from jumps and whoops to ruts and berms. As a result, riders gain unmatched upper body protection while maintaining freedom of movement and comfort.

First, the system adapts to every ride. Riders can select MX, MX Race, Enduro, or Rally modes via the integrated LED display or the Tech-Air® App. Two customizable “MY RIDE” modes allow quick adjustments on the fly. Meanwhile, the MX crash detection algorithm leverages thousands of hours of pro-level data to detect real-world crashes with extreme accuracy.

Next, protection is immediate and comprehensive. The single inflator system deploys the airbag in an average of 40 milliseconds, covering the shoulders, chest, and back. Furthermore, the system integrates CE-certified Nucleon PLASMA back and chest protection, providing up to four times more impact protection than passive armor.

Finally, convenience and usability are exceptional. The lightweight, ventilated vest fits over or under MX apparel, with long battery life of up to 30 hours. Automatic activation occurs when the left buckle closes, and deactivation happens when opened. Additionally, Bluetooth connectivity via the Tech-Air® App enables system monitoring, firmware updates, and riding mode control.
