Product description
The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 7X System is an innovative motorcycle airbag vest, specially designed for riders seeking the highest levels of safety and comfort. This advanced system, based on MotoGP airbag technology, offers FIM-approved protection for both track use and street riding. It provides full upper body protection, including the shoulders, chest, back, and tailbone, and is suitable for use with Tech-Air®-compatible leather jackets or suits, or as a standalone solution.
Equipped with twelve integrated sensors, including triaxial accelerometers and gyroscopes, the system continuously monitors the rider's movements. In the event of an accident, the intelligent algorithm detects a crash situation and activates the airbag in just 44 milliseconds. This results in an impact reduction of up to 90% compared to standard CE-Level 1 protection, making it a reliable partner in challenging situations.
The Tech-Air® 7X offers two modes of operation – RACE and STREET – which can be easily selected via the accompanying Tech-Air® App. Thanks to the built-in battery, you can enjoy up to 20 hours of active riding time. Charging is simple and efficient; a full charge takes only four hours, while a short one-hour charging session is sufficient for 7 to 8 hours of riding pleasure. The USB-C charging port is strategically placed for added convenience.
Comfort and ventilation are central to the design. The vest is equipped with extensive perforations for optimal airflow and stretch panels for a snug fit. Additionally, the inner layer of the vest can be hand washed after removing the electronic components. An integrated LED display on the front flap provides clear information about the battery status and the number of available airbag activations.
With dual gas cartridges, the system offers the possibility of two separate airbag activations, which not only ensures extra safety but also enhances durability and ease of use. When new crash detection algorithms become available, they can be easily downloaded via the Bluetooth connectivity of the Tech-Air® App, ensuring your system is always up-to-date.
The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 7X System is designed to provide confidence and ultimate protection during every ride. Whether you choose a day on the track, a relaxed recreational ride, or your daily commute, this revolutionary airbag system is a smart investment in your safety and riding enjoyment. With this vest, you are prepared for any challenge on the road.
