How does the Tech-Air® MX System deploy during a crash?

The Tech-Air® MX System uses advanced sensors and AI-powered algorithms to detect crash scenarios in milliseconds. When a crash is detected, the airbag deploys autonomously before impact, providing immediate protection to your chest, back, and vital organs. The system is fully electronic and requires no tethers or manual activation.

Can I use the Tech-Air® MX System for different types of off-road riding?

Yes, the Tech-Air® MX features four selectable Riding Modes that can be optimized for motocross, supercross, and other off-road disciplines. You can adjust the sensitivity settings to match your specific riding style and track conditions, ensuring appropriate protection across different scenarios.

Is the Tech-Air® MX System reusable after deployment?

Yes, the Tech-Air® MX System is reusable after deployment. The system is user-serviceable and modular, allowing you to replace components as needed. After a deployment, the airbag can be repacked and the system reset, making it ready for continued use following Alpinestars' service guidelines.

What chest protector comes integrated with the Tech-Air® MX?

The Tech-Air® MX comes integrated into a lightweight, compact chest protector designed specifically for motocross and supercross. This integration ensures the airbag system works seamlessly with upper body protection while maintaining total freedom of movement during riding.

Does the Tech-Air® MX System require charging or batteries?

Yes, the Tech-Air® MX System is fully electronic and operates on a rechargeable battery. The autonomous system monitors riding conditions continuously, so regular charging is required to maintain optimal protection. Battery life and charging specifications are provided in the product manual.
