Overview
The Tech-Air® Off-Road System represents a significant advancement in rider safety, specifically engineered to handle the rigors of off-road and rally competition. When the active airbag is deployed, it provides comprehensive coverage to the chest, back, shoulders, neck, and collarbones. This system is seamlessly integrated into an Alpinestars Off-Road Protection Jacket, which features passive protection for the limbs, arms, and chest to shield riders against roost, rocks, and trail debris.
Designed for versatility, the system comes pre-loaded with three distinct Riding Modes: ENDURO, RALLY, and STREET. These modes are easily navigable via the integrated LED Display or the dedicated Tech-Air® App, ensuring optimal performance whether you are navigating technical trails or street sections.
Key Features
The Tech-Air® Off-Road System is a fully self-contained, standalone unit. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) utilizes three accelerometers and three gyroscopes to provide precision crash monitoring across various dynamic riding scenarios. Notable features include:
- Dual Charge Capability: Equipped with two full gas inflators, providing two separate airbag deployments before requiring service.
- Quick Release Cover: Allows for rapid gas inflator replacement by the user (where permitted by local regulations).
- Advanced Battery Life: The certified lithium-ion battery offers 30 hours of riding time on a full charge. A quick 1-hour charge provides approximately 8 hours of use.
- User-Friendly Operation: The system automatically activates when zipped and deactivates when unzipped. The ECU and airbag are fully removable, allowing the protection jacket to be washed separately.
- Shipping Mode: A dedicated slide switch on the ECU allows the battery to be disconnected for safe transportation or long-term storage.
Protection and Certification
This system is built to the highest competitive standards and meets critical safety requirements:
- FIM Cross Country Rally Regulations Homologated for race use.
- Average inflation time of 52 milliseconds (varies by airbag size).
- Comprehensive upper body protection, including neck protection provided by the airbag inflating in compliance with FIM regulations.
- Integrated passive protectors for enhanced impact resistance in non-deployment scenarios.
The Tech-Air® Off-Road System is the ultimate choice for riders demanding professional-grade protection and sophisticated technology in the most challenging environments.
