Alpinestars Tech-Air MX – Next-Level Airbag Protection for Motocross and Supercross
The Alpinestars Tech-Air® MX is a cutting-edge, fully autonomous airbag system engineered specifically for motocross and supercross riders.
Since pioneering airbag technology in MotoGP back in 2003, Alpinestars has continued to evolve its protection systems through years of testing in the world’s toughest racing environments. The off-road airbag journey began with Dakar Rally riders in 2014 and expanded into AMA Supercross, Motocross, and FIM MXGP testing from 2016 onward.
The result is the Tech-Air® MX System - built from millions of kilometres of riding data and thousands of crash analyses - featuring a highly sophisticated activation algorithm that deploys the airbag precisely when needed, even in the unpredictable terrain of MX racing.
Revolutionary MX Protection
The Tech-Air® MX offers comprehensive upper body protection by integrating an autonomous airbag system within a lightweight, compact chest protector. It provides advanced impact absorption while maintaining full freedom of movement — ideal for motocross, enduro, or rally use.
When deployed, the airbag delivers CE Level 1 active protection on the back and CE Level 1 passive protection on both chest and back — offering up to 4× more impact protection than standard passive armour.
Key Features

• Preloaded with MX Mode, optimised for motocross performance.
• Two additional customisable modes (My Ride 1 and My Ride 2) can be set up via the Tech-Air® App (choose from MX Race, Enduro, or Rally).

Crash Detection Algorithm
• Refined from thousands of hours of MXGP, AMA MX, and Supercross data.
