Since its existence, Alpinestars has worked hard to develop excellent products for its customers that provide them with greater comfort and, above all, greater safety.<\/p>\n
Today we see a new launch from the brand \u2013 the Tech-Air\u00ae 5 - the innovative new electronic and autonomous airbag system, compatible with any motorbike jacket.<\/p>\n
Tech-Air\u00ae 5 is the latest addition to the Alpinestars Tech-Air\u00ae family, which includes the Tech-Air\u00ae Race and Tech-Air\u00ae Street Systems, is a clear demonstration that Alpinestars continues to lead the way in active air-bag technology for riders and their passengers. Tech-Air\u00ae 5 is a powerful demonstration of Alpinestars commitment to making the technology more freely available as the best possible choice of \u2018active\u2019 airbag protection in the market.<\/p>\n
Tech-Air\u00ae 5 is a slim, self-contained wearable airbag vest that can be worn under any proper fitting textile jacket. This vest offers unrivaled upper body protection keeping motorcycle riders safe by covering the rider's shoulders, chest, ribs and full back, which will effectively and efficiently minimise the risk of injuries. Currently, Alpinestars Tech-Air\u00ae 5 is the airbag system with the most effective and comprehensive coverage.<\/p>\n
The state-of-the-art, wearable Tech-Air\u00ae 5 vest comes with an active electronic system that features six integrated sensors (3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers) and a crash algorithm that leverages AI to accurately monitor when to deploy the airbag in the event of a crash. The Tech-Air\u00ae 5 has been developed through years of research and testing with leading MotoGP riders and Alpinestars customers, analysing data from millions of kilometres and thousands of crashes to continually improve the intelligent crash detection algorithm. Upon the identification of a crash situation, a protective airbag is deployed, providing unrivaled protection to the rider with a maximum inflation time of 20 to 40ms based on the volume of the airbag size. The impact absorption while wearing the airbag results in a decrease of the impact force by up to 95% compared to a passive protector. The Tech-Air\u00ae 5 Airbag System offers the same protection as that provided by 18 back protectors.<\/p>\n
This Alpinestars vest is also extremely easy to use, just zip up the vest and close the magnetic flap and you're ready to hit the road! An LED display indicates the airbag\u2019s operational status and the integrated, certified lithium ion battery has a battery life of 30 hours of riding time. The system comes equipped with a magnetic micro USB charger that allows quick, easy and convenient recharging.<\/p>\n
Tech-Air\u00ae 5 has Bluetooth connectivity and an accompanying Tech-Air\u00ae App, which uses the rider\u2019s phone to display the system\u2019s operational status, battery status and a detailed analysis of a ride; the system\u2019s firmware can also be updated directly via the app.<\/p>\n
Nearly 20 years ago, Alpinestars began development on the original Tech-Air\u00ae System. When launched in the market in 2014, the Tech-Air\u00ae system was recognized as the world\u2019s first airbag providing full upper body protection with a completely independent electronic management system, in addition to having the versatility of the vest which could be easily zipped into a variety of Tech-Air\u00ae compatible jackets. In December 2019, Tech-Air\u00ae 5 has already been recognized by CES as one of the must-see innovative products in the Wearables Technology Marketplace.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
