Alpinestars Tech-Air 7X System - Black

Specifically developed for road racing, track day use and performance road riding, the FIM-approved, Tech-Air® 7x System, is Alpinestars’ latest airbag system built from MotoGP-proven tech. Fully autonomous and self-contained, it delivers streamlined, ventilated protection across the shoulders, chest, full back, and coccyx. Designed for standalone use or integration with Tech-Air® compatible suits and jackets, the Tech-Air® 7x adapts to closed-circuit racing, road, and light off-road riding. With 12 onboard sensors and AI-driven crash detection, the system deploys the Airbag in as little as 44ms—cutting impact force by up to 90% vs. passive back CE Level 1 protection.

Specifically developed for road racing, track day use, and performance road riding, the FIM-homologated, Tech-Air® 7x is derived from Alpinestars’ proven MotoGP Airbag technology. The fully autonomous, self-contained motorcycling Airbag System is engineered for racing, offering riders streamlined, low profile, and highly ventilated Tech-Air® protection.

Developed for performance/recreational motorcycling, the Tech-Air® 7x provides riders with comprehensive upper body protection by covering their shoulders, chest, and full back. The integrated back protector is extended in length for additional protection of the coccyx. The Tech-Air® 7x can be used as a Standalone System or as an Integrated System within a compatible suit or jacket. The System is designed to function for racing on closed-circuit tracks, as well as for road riding, and light off-road riding.

A.I. TECHNOLOGY

The state-of-the-art, wearable Tech-Air® 7x Airbag System comes with an active electronic system that features twelve integrated sensors: 3 triaxial accelerometers (1 positioned on the back protector and 2 positioned on the shoulders) and 1 triaxial gyroscope (located within the back protector). These sensors monitor the rider’s body for shocks or unexpected movements. Developed through years of research in collaboration with over 50% of the world’s leading MotoGP riders and Alpinestars’ customers riding with Tech-Air® Systems, our team has analyzed riding data from millions of kilometers and thousands of crashes to continuously enhance the System’s intelligent crash detection algorithms.

Street Mode

Optimized for street and light off-road riding. Users can easily switch between Race and Street Riding Modes by simply using the Tech-Air® App.

Race Mode

The Tech-Air® 7x System comes pre-loaded with two different Riding Modes: RACE Mode for riding on closed-circuit racetracks.

Dual Charge Capability

The Tech-Air® 7x features dual charge capability, which means that with two full gas inflators, the System provides two separate Airbag deployments. The Gas Inflators are user-replaceable.

Ease of Use

To turn on the Tech-Air® 7x System, simply close the Front Flap. An internal magnetic switch will detect the Front Flap is closed and the System will automatically turn on and activate the Airbag System.

BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY

Bluetooth connectivity to a Tech-Air® App allows monitoring of the system’s operational status, battery status and analysis of your ride including plotting your route on a map. The app allows you to easily switch between STREET and RACE Riding Modes, ensuring motorcyclists are protected during the daily commute and also when racing on closed-course racetracks.
