Fully autonomous and FIM-approved, this intelligent airbag vest provides impact protection for the shoulders, chest, back, and coccyx, with AI-driven crash detection deploying in just 44 milliseconds. Featuring dual Ride Modes (Race & Street), Bluetooth connectivity, and a 20-hour battery life, the Tech-Air® 7x is engineered for seamless use as a standalone system or integrated with compatible Alpinestars suits and jackets. For riders demanding pro-grade safety and performance, the Tech-Air® 7x sets the new standard in motorcycle protection.
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.
