Alpinestars MX Tech-Air MX Airbag Systems

Alpinestars Tech-Air MX Airbag Systems are an innovative, convenient airbag protection solution that MX riders can easily wear as part of their kit, delivering unrivaled upper body protection at the track. The system offers riders the flexibility to choose from four modes (MX, MX Race, Enduro, and Rally) refined from data in top-tier competitions, each with an optimized algorithm that enables the system to detect imminent impacts and deploy the airbag in crash situations. Riders can easily switch between three riding modes at any given time to match their discipline—motocross or off-road riding. The system can be worn over or under a jersey and operates without external sensors or tethers. Even when not deployed, the system functions as a high-performance chest and Level 1 plasma back protector. The Alpinestars Tech-Air MX Airbag System is user-serviceable, with replaceable canisters (sold separately).

Key features and safety benefits:

* The Alpinestars Tech-Air MX Airbag System is a standalone, autonomous safety vest designed specifically for motocross and supercross riders
* Comprehensive Coverage—when deployed, the airbag shields the chest, back, and shoulders—this extensive coverage significantly reduces the risk of serious injuries like broken ribs or punctured lungs
* Superior Impact Absorption—the system offers roughly 82 to 90 percent reduction in transmitted energy compared to conventional passive chest protectors
* Integrated Neck Protection—once inflated, the bladder stabilizes the head and neck similarly to a neck brace, limiting extreme movement and helmet-collarbone contact without restricting mobility during normal riding
* AI-Driven Crash Detection—this system uses an internal Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with three accelerometers and three gyroscopes to monitor rider movement every millisecond. The algorithm is trained on over a decade of data from professional races like MXGP and AMA Supercross
* Autonomous Operation—the system is fully self-contained with no tethers or external sensors required (it automatically powers on and performs diagnostics when the left buckle is fastened)

Performance and utility:

* Multiple Riding Modes through the Alpinestars Tech-Air App—riders can toggle between four modes: MX, MX Race, Enduro, and Rally (for example, "MX Race" mode is less sensitive to minor tip-overs to avoid unnecessary deployments during a race)
* Long Battery Life—an integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 30 hours of active riding time (a quick 1-hour charge via USB-C offers approximately 8 hours of use)
* Reusability—the system is certified for up to six deployments (if the bladder remains undamaged) therefore users can rapidly replace the single gas inflator themselves where local regulations permit.
* Lightweight Comfort—the system features a breathable stretch mesh vest and low-profile Nucleon PLASMA back and chest protectors, making it feel similar to a standard roost guard during use Show Less
