Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® 3 Leather Airbag System is designed to be worn over a motorcycle jacket, but can be worn under the jacket, as well, providing effective and practical protection for V-Twin riders, touring riders, urban city commuters, and weekend warriors who want to ride protected.

Alpinestars’ crash detection triggering algorithm has been developed and refined with millions of kilometers of riding data and thousands of 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. In the event that Tech-Air® 3 detects the start of a crash, the System will inflate the protective airbag in milliseconds, reducing up to 95% of the impact energy transferred to the rider anywhere the airbag protects, which includes the full chest and back. In the event of a direct impact of the rider with another vehicle or obstacle, the Tech-Air® 3 System, is effective for the “first impact1,” which means that the System inflates before the rider hits the vehicle or obstacle against which the rider will have the direct impact.

Featuring a main chassis constructed with premium softened leather, and waterproof ECU and electronics, the slim, self-contained System can be worn under a motorcycle jacket, including an Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® Ready jacket, or any leather or textile jacket, providing that the jacket has sufficient space to accommodate the inflation of the airbag.

Tech-Air® 3 Leather’s ECU seal-protection ensures all-weather performance and is certified to function between -20 ⁰C and +40⁰C.
The ECU has been tested and CE Certified according to different regulations for electronic, radio devices and electrical safety.
The gas inflator cartridge is CE certified to UNI EN 16263, confirming compliance with the safety standard and certifying that the cartridges can be safely handled and serviced.
According to European statutory law the CE mark is a conformity requirement for the marketing of this product. The following standards apply to this product:
When inflated, the Tech-Air® 3 Leather System’s full chest and full back protection from the airbag is Category II Certified PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) under the European Regulation (UE) 2016/425, according to the relevant part of the EN1624-4:2013 airbag certification standard (Motorcyclists’ protective clothing against mechanical impact – Part 4: Motorcyclists’ inflatable protectors – Requirements and test methods), which guarantees an impact protection performance of not less than five seconds after the activation. The impact attenuation performance is Level 2 both for full chest and full back.

Product Manual

PROTECTION

Alpinestars’ crash detection triggering algorithm has been developed and refined with millions of kilometers of riding data and tens of thousands of 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.

In the event the Tech-Air® 3 detects the start of a crash, the system will activate the protective airbag in milliseconds, providing upper body protection, and reducing up to 95% of the impact energy transferred to the rider anywhere the airbag protects, which includes the full chest and back.

LED Display

A discretely hidden but easily visible LED display on the front chest indicates the Airbag System’s operational status, and incorporates a haptic alert, which vibrates to confirm the System is armed, as well as alerts the rider when the battery is running low.
