Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 Airbag System

The Alpinestars Tech-Air® 3 is the lightest and most versatile autonomous motorcycle airbag in the Tech-Air® family. Designed to be worn over or under any jacket, it provides everyday comfort and advanced AI-driven protection for touring riders, commuters, and light adventure users. With no external sensors or cables required, Tech-Air® 3 delivers fully self-contained, intelligent airbag protection wherever you ride.

Developed using millions of kilometres of riding data and thousands of real-world crashes, the Tech-Air® 3 deploys in just 50 milliseconds, reducing up to 95% of impact energy in the event of a crash. “First-impact” capability ensures the airbag can inflate before the rider contacts another vehicle or obstacle.
