The Alpinestars Tech-Air® MX is a next-generation Airbag System built specifically for motocross and supercross riders. Developed through decades of research, innovation, and real-world data collection at the highest levels of motorcycle racing, the Tech-Air® MX is engineered to perform in demanding off-road conditions including jumps, ruts, berms, and whoops.

Integrated into a lightweight, low-profile chest protector, the fully autonomous system delivers rapid airbag deployment and advanced upper body protection for the shoulders, chest, and back. Advanced crash detection algorithms and multiple riding modes help optimize performance across a wide range of riding conditions while maintaining exceptional comfort, ventilation, and mobility.

Details

Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® MX is an advanced Airbag System engineered specifically for motocross and supercross riders. Since pioneering airbag technology for MotoGP in 2003 with the Tech-Air® Race System, Alpinestars has expanded airbag protection across motorsports disciplines, with testing of the Tech-Air® Off-Road System by Dakar Rally riders beginning in 2014. Building on expertise from MotoGP and Dakar Rally, Alpinestars began MX-specific data logging in 2016 with top athletes in AMA Supercross, Motocross, and FIM MXGP. This extensive research led to the creation of Tech-Air® MX System, featuring a sophisticated activation algorithm that provides precise and rapid airbag deployment in the challenging, dynamic environments MX and Supercross riders encounter—such as ruts, berms, jumps and whoops—ensuring riders are fully protected in the sport’s toughest conditions. Tech-Air® MX provides extensive and effective upper body protection, revolutionizing MX protection with an autonomous Airbag System embedded inside a compact chest protector. The Tech-Air® MX is 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 Tech-Air® MX System offers riders the flexibility to choose from 4 Riding Modes, 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 Tech-Air® MX System provides CE LEVEL 1 passive protection on both the chest and back. When inflated, the Airbag delivers CE LEVEL 1 active protection on the back, delivering four times more protection than the passive protector alone. When deployed, the Tech-Air® System’s Airbag provides protection to the rider's shoulders, chest, and back for unprecedented motocross upper body coverage.

Designed for seamless integration into standard motocross gear, the Tech-Air® MX provides extensive coverage for the upper body, including the chest, back, and shoulders. This ensures riders are safeguarded against impacts common in off-road riding.

Equipped with an active electronic system featuring integrated sensors, the Tech-Air® MX utilizes a sophisticated crash detection algorithm. This technology continuously monitors the rider's movements and deploys the airbag in milliseconds upon detecting a crash, offering immediate protection when it's needed most.
