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.

Due to regulations for transport of dangerous goods by air (IATA) and road (ADR), consumers are not permitted to ship Tech-Air® products themselves for return or servicing. In the event of a return or service request you must therefore deliver the goods in person to one of our Tech-Air® Hubs. Please ensure you first contact our Customer Care team to receive confirmation of the correct Hub and approval before visiting.
