Features
Alpinestars Tech-Air MX is an advanced airbag system engineered specifically for motocross and supercross ridersTech-Air MX provides extensive and effective upper body protection in a compact chest protector that comes with an autonomous Airbag System embedded insideThe Tech-Air MX is a convenient Airbag protection solution that MX riders can easily wear as part of their kit, delivering unrivaled upper body protection at the trackWhen deployed, the Tech-Air Systems Airbag provides protection to the rider's shoulders, chest, and back, ensuring upper body coverage for motocrossMultiple Riding Modes The Tech-Air MX System comes with the default MX Mode that permits the use of the System on off-road tracks, specifically for Motocross ridingThe System also features two additional Riding Modes ("MY RIDE 1" and "MY RIDE 2"), which can be customized by the User via the Tech-Air App selecting from the currently available Riding Modes: MX Race, Enduro, and RallyOnce the Riding Modes are set, Users can easily switch between them by pressing the Display Button (3) or directly using the Tech-Air App* MX/MX Race Crash Detection Algorithm Alpinestars MX/MX Race crash detection triggering algorithm has been developed and refined with thousands of hours of riding data and crashes, allowing the System to accurately assess when to deploy the Airbag ahead of an impact or other dangerous situationfully tested by Alpinestars Pro-riders, in extreme racing conditions, including MXGP, AMA MX, and Supercross training environmentsActive Airbag Protection Upon the detection of a crash situation, a protective Airbag is deployed, providing unrivaled protection to the rider with an average inflation time of 40 ms, depending on the Airbag sizeSystem Versatility The Tech-Air MX System can be worn over or under any properly fitting apparel with enough room to accommodate the inflation of the Airbag in the event of a deploymentSingle Gas Inflator Deployment A single gas inflator delivers one Airbag deployment for guaranteed protectionAfter the Airbag deploys, the gas inflator must be replaced before the System can be used againThe System has a quick-release cover opening that allows for rapid gas inflator replacement by users, only available in countries where gas inflator replacement by individuals is permitted by local regulationsBattery Life and Charging Time The Tech-Air MX System uses an integrated, certified lithium-ion battery, with a fully charged battery life of 30 hours and a recharge time of approximately 4 hoursCharging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide approximately 8 hours of riding time useQuick-Release Cover Design for Rapid Gas Inflator Replacement System Activation/Deactivation: Activating the Tech-Air MX is easy; simply attach the left buckle of the System to the Chest Protector, and an internal magnetic switch will detect the left buckle is closed and automatically turn on and activate the Airbag SystemRemoving the left buckle will automatically deactivate and turn off the SystemThe LED Display is integrated in the Chest Protector to monitor the Systems status and battery level and provide convenient and easily accessible charging for the System via a USB-C connectorThe LED Display also incorporates the Riding Modes LEDs allowing users to easily switch between Riding Modes The vest is constructed from a breathable stretch mesh for superior ventilation with a streamlined, low-profile and lightweight construction, keeping the protection close to the riders body to maximize comfort and freedom of movementConvenient and easy charging of the System, simply plug the USB-C cable into the Recharge Port on the Systems LED Display and connect to a power sourceThe back protector incorporates Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma technology which is ultra-lightweight, flexible, and highly ventilated for enhanced performance, protection, and overall rider comfortChest protector built from premium materials combined with an innovative design, utilizing both honeycomb technology and Polyhedron Cell Technology to create a passive protector that is highly ventilated, lightweight, ergonomic, and robustNo external sensors are required for the System to operateRobust internal housing located in the built-in CE-certified Nucleon Plasma back protector accommodates the System ECU and gas inflatorThe Tech-Air MXs ECU is seal-protected within the System to ensure all-weather performance; the System and componentry are certified to function between -10C and +50CThe Tech-Air MX Systems Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and Airbag are completely removable so that the Protectors can be washed separatelyUsers can easily update the Systems firmware when improved crash-detection algorithms are released directly in the Tech-Air AppThe ECU has been homologated to ECE R10 04 which ensures the units electromagnetic integrity and stabilityBluetooth connectivity to the Tech-Air App means the Systems operational status, battery status, and My Ride Trip recording can also be easily accessed on a mobile deviceA fully self-contained, standalone system; 3 accelerometers (1 triaxial accelerometer) and 3 gyroscopes (1 triaxial gyroscope) are integrated in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to provide the best crash monitoring performance and active Airbag protection for a variety of dynamic MX riding scenariosAverage inflation time of 40 milliseconds, depending on the size of the AirbagIncreased Airbag coverage on the chest, back, and shoulders provides effective upper body protectionThe Airbag is certified for up to 6 Airbag deployments before having to replace it, provided the Airbag hasnt been damaged in one of the first 5 deploymentsMX Mode is recommended for Motocross use, i.e. on outdoor tracks with natural, uneven terrain, such as dirt, sand, mud, and rocksTypically, these riding scenarios include obstacles like jumps, berms, and ruts and features long straights, sharp corners, and uphill or downhill sectionsMX Mode can also be used for Supercross riding, that typically consists of riding on indoor or stadium-based tracks that include tight corners, large and sharp jumps, and man-made obstacles like whoops and rhythm sectionsThe System function for MX Mode is accurately optimized based on riding, falls, and crash data coming from the use of the System in this contextThe MX RACE Mode should be used under the same conditions outlined in the Tech-Air Manual, and the Section entitled: Envelope of Protection: MX MODEUnlike MX Mode, MX RACE Mode is designed for a more selective airbag activation scenario in the event of high-severity accidents while preventing the activation for minor accidents, such as tip-overs, i.e. low-speed accidents where the bike falls over, typically without significant impact or damage to the rider
