Alpinestars launches Tech-Air 5 Plasma, its new autonomous airbag system

Tech-Air 5 Plasma is the latest addition to the Alpinestars Tech-Air range, officially presented earlier this year and now put up for sale in official brand distributors.

This includes specific systems for urban driving, daily displacements, circuit races, off -road driving and motocross. Designed for both pilots and passengers, it offers us a higher level of protection and an exceptionally light and innovative design.

Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma in Detail

With such a weight only 1,530 gr (3.3 pounds), Tech-Air 5 plasma is 25 % lighter than Tech-Air 5which makes it the lightest Tech-Air system to date. Its thin and minimalist design guarantees that the system adjusts discreetly under any motorcyclist protective jacket, maximizing comfort without restricting movement.

The Tech-Air inflator 5 plasma can be easily replaced by the user after an activation, up to six times before a complete replacement of the airbag is necessary (provided that the airbag has not suffered damage during an accident). This allows continuous protection during the trip after an activation.

It also has a new advanced algorithm with three driving modes: all terrain, street and career. Drivers can easily change among driving modes, even with gloves, pressing the integrated button on the LED screen. In addition, the Tech-Air 5 plasma uses bluetooth connectivity and a complementary application, which allows drivers to use their phone to connect to the application for:

  • Monitor the system status and battery life.
  • Record trips and map routes through the Myride function.
  • See the User Manual.
  • Update the system software when there are new software versions available.
  • System activation

The system is extremely easy to use: it simply uploads the zip the vest and closes the magnetic flap, and is ready to use. For its part, the LED screen will visually indicate the operating status of the system, complemented with an haptic vibration alert to notify the driver that the system is activated.

It should also be noted that the new Alpinestars airbag system includes a certified lithium -ion battery that provides 30 hours of autonomy. A USB-C load port conveniently located on the LED screen facilitates recharge.

The system uses artificial intelligence to monitor precisely when to display the airbag in case of accident.

Its intuitive design is also focused on a rapid extraction of the airbag for the cleaning of the vest and a simple system reensamblage. The maintenance of key components, including the replacement of the gas inflator, is also fast and simple.
