Description
Alpinestars Tech-Air Street Vest
Note: Tech Air Street Vests are ONLY COMPATIBLE with Tech-Air Street specific riding gear.
Tech-Air® is the world’s first self-contained street airbag system that independently functions without the need for sensors to be installed on the bike and the subsequent need to link a specific motorcycle to the airbag system used by the rider. This means that Tech-Air® offers the freedom to ride any bike on any surface at any time. Offering instantaneous, high-pressure inflatable protection Tech-Air® gives the rider comprehensive protection in a crash by covering the full back, shoulders, kidney areas and chest. The Tech-Air® street airbag is incorporated into a specially designed vest, which is then attached within and used in conjunction with a compatible jacket. There are a variety of Tech-Air®Street Compatible garments available.
Electronics System:
- PC compatible software (No current Mac compatibility) allows for updating of firmware and triggering algorithms
- Fully enclosed ACU (Airbag Control Unit) is seal-protected within the vest's CE level 2 back protector
- One gyroscope and one accelerometer housed inside ACU
- One additional accelerometer on each shoulder
- Lithium ion battery with approximately 25 hours of use when fully charged
- One hour of charge time yields four hours of ride time
Airbag System:
- Comprehensive protection of back, shoulders, kidney area, chest and upper abdomen
- Internal airbag tethers used to control final deployed shape create less bulk than a chambered design and allow for quicker inflation

- Airbag inflates in 25 milliseconds and remains fully inflated for 5 seconds

Operation:
