The Alpinestars Tech-Air MX Airbag System is an advanced, autonomous upper-body protection solution engineered for motocross and supercross riders. This 2XL system combines a compact chest protector with an integrated airbag designed to protect the shoulders, chest, and back during a crash. The manufacturer is Alpinestars, and the vendor and manufacturer part number is 6500626-20-XXL. Designed for dedicated off-road use, the Tech-Air MX provides streamlined protection while preserving the freedom of movement needed on the track.
The system includes a default MX riding mode for motocross, plus two customizable MY RIDE modes that can be configured through the Tech-Air App using available MX Race, Enduro, and Rally settings. Riders can change modes with the integrated display button or through the app. Alpinestars’ MX/MX Race crash detection algorithm was developed using extensive riding and crash data and tested by professional riders in demanding MXGP, AMA motocross, and supercross environments. When a crash is detected, the airbag deploys in an average of 40 milliseconds, depending on airbag size, to provide active protection before or during impact.
The Tech-Air MX can be worn over or under properly fitting riding apparel with sufficient clearance for airbag inflation. A magnetic activation switch turns the system on when the left buckle is secured and automatically deactivates it when the buckle is removed. The integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 30 hours of use on a full charge, while the USB-C charging system offers convenient recharging. The LED display monitors system status, battery level, and riding mode selection. A single gas inflator provides one deployment and must be replaced before reuse; the quick-release cover supports faster replacement where permitted by local regulations. A breathable stretch-mesh construction, low-profile design, and Nucleon Plasma back protector help deliver ventilation, flexibility, and comfort for motocross and supercross fitment.
