Alpinestars Tech-Air® E-Race Airbag System
MotoGP-Derived Intelligent Airbag Technology for the Track
The Alpinestars Tech-Air® E-Race Airbag System represents the pinnacle of MotoGP-inspired innovation, built from over a decade of continuous development since the launch of Alpinestars’ first-generation racing airbag and groundbreaking Tech-Air® Street system.
Developed specifically for track day riders and competitive racers, the Tech-Air® E-Race provides full upper-body protection in a self-contained, fully autonomous design — no bike-to-rider setup required. Just zip in, connect, and ride.
When deployed, the system provides comprehensive coverage of the back, chest, shoulders, and kidney area, effectively absorbing impact energy in the most critical zones. A simple firmware upgrade allows the E-Race to operate in Tech-Air® E-Street Mode, making it suitable for road and light off-road use — perfect for riders who split time between the circuit and the street.
