The Alpinestars Tech-Air MX Airbag System is an advanced, autonomous upper-body protection solution engineered specifically for motocross and supercross riders. This Large-size system combines a compact chest protector with an integrated airbag designed to protect the shoulders, chest, and back when a crash or dangerous riding event is detected. The Tech-Air MX model is built for use on off-road tracks and is suitable for riders seeking convenient, wearable protection that integrates easily into a motocross kit. Manufacturer and vendor part number: 6500626-20-L.
The system uses Alpinestars’ MX/MX Race crash-detection algorithm, developed from extensive riding and crash data and tested in demanding professional motocross and supercross environments. When a qualifying crash situation is detected, the airbag deploys in an average of approximately 40 milliseconds, depending on airbag size, to provide active protection before impact. The default MX Mode is intended for motocross, while two customizable “MY RIDE” modes can be configured through the Tech-Air App using available MX Race, Enduro, and Rally riding settings. Riders can switch modes through the integrated display button or the app.
The Tech-Air MX can be worn over or under properly fitting riding apparel with sufficient room for airbag inflation. Its breathable stretch-mesh construction provides ventilation, while the streamlined, lightweight design supports comfort and freedom of movement. An integrated lithium-ion battery provides up to 30 hours of riding time on a full charge, with approximately four hours required for a complete recharge; about one hour of charging can provide approximately eight hours of use. The LED display monitors system status, battery level, and riding mode, and includes a convenient USB-C charging port. A single gas inflator provides one deployment, after which replacement is required. The quick-release cover is designed for rapid inflator replacement where permitted by local regulations. The back protector incorporates Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma technology for lightweight, flexible, and ventilated support.
