The Alpinestars Tech-Air 3 v2 Canvas Vest is a fully autonomous active motorcycle airbag system designed to provide advanced rider protection without external motorcycle connections or sensors. This tan, medium-size vest uses six integrated sensors, including three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, to monitor riding conditions and detect crashes in a wide range of dynamic situations, including while stopped. The system arms automatically through its magnetic zipper closure, helping riders stay focused on the road. The manufacturer part number and vendor part number are both 6505125-86-M.
The Tech-Air 3 v2 features a packable design that can be stored in a backpack, saddlebag, top case, or pannier when not in use. Its stretch nylon canvas outer chassis includes a ribbed bomber collar and elasticated side panels for comfort and expansion. A center zipper and internal magnetic snap buttons secure the chest airbag while riding and allow it to be folded away when the vest is not in use. Two zippered hand pockets, two chest pockets, a sunglasses channel, an inner concealed pocket, and a waist loop provide convenient storage for riding essentials and accessories.
A discreet LED display on the front chest shows the airbag system status and uses reflective backing for improved visibility. The display also provides haptic alerts that confirm the system is armed and notify the rider when battery power is low. The compact Alpinestars second-generation electronic control unit connects to the Tech-Air App through Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, allowing riders to monitor operational and battery status, review rides through MyRide, and update system software. An integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 40 hours of operation and recharges in approximately four hours. The gas inflator, wiring, and airbag are removable, while replacement inflator canisters are serviced by select Alpinestars dealers and certified Tech-Air Service Centers. With the electronics removed, the canvas vest can be washed. The Tech-Air 3 v2 is designed for motorcycle riders seeking convenient, connected, and independently operating airbag protection.
