Alpinestars Tech-Air® Off-Road System
Alpinestars Tech-Air® Off-Road System is an autonomous electronic airbag system developed for riders who move between rally stages, technical enduro trails and the road. Proven through development in the Dakar Rally since 2017, it combines active airbag protection, integrated passive armor and off-road-specific crash detection in one complete upper-body protection system.
When the terrain changes without warning, preparation matters. Integrated accelerometers and gyroscopes continuously monitor the rider without requiring sensors on the motorcycle. ENDURO, RALLY and STREET modes adapt detection to different riding environments, while the system remains close to the body beneath a properly fitting motorcycle jacket.
