What makes the Tech-Air® Off-Road System different from other airbag systems?

The Tech-Air® Off-Road is the world's first FIM-homologated airbag system engineered specifically for Rally and Enduro riding. Unlike street-focused airbag systems, it features roost-resistant construction, off-road-specific crash algorithms, and three preloaded riding modes (ENDURO, RALLY, STREET). Developed and proven in Dakar since 2017, it combines CE Level 1 airbag protection with integrated CE Level 2 passive chest protection for comprehensive coverage in the toughest terrain.

Does the Tech-Air® Off-Road System work for both off-road and street riding?

Yes. The system comes preloaded with ENDURO, RALLY, and STREET riding modes, allowing you to switch between off-road terrain and street riding. Each mode uses tailored crash-detection algorithms optimized for different riding scenarios, ensuring appropriate airbag deployment whether you're racing Dakar, trail riding, or commuting on pavement.

What body areas does the Tech-Air® Off-Road System protect?

The airbag provides CE Level 1 protection for the chest, back, shoulders, collarbones, and neck. The integrated Alpinestars Off-Road Protection Jacket adds CE Level 2 passive chest protection plus CE Level 1 passive armor on the back, elbows, and shoulders. This layered approach delivers comprehensive upper-body coverage for rally and enduro conditions.

Is the Tech-Air® Off-Road System FIM-certified for professional racing?

Yes, the Tech-Air® Off-Road System is FIM-homologated, meeting the strict safety standards required for professional rally and enduro competition. This certification confirms it has been tested and approved for use in FIM-sanctioned events, the same level of protection trusted by factory race teams.

Can I use the Tech-Air® Off-Road System with my existing riding gear?

The Tech-Air® Off-Road System is integrated with a specific Alpinestars Off-Road Protection Jacket that includes passive CE Level 2 chest and CE Level 1 back, elbow, and shoulder armor. The system is designed as a complete protection package and must be worn with the compatible Alpinestars protection jacket to ensure proper fit, coverage, and airbag deployment performance.

Tech-Air® Off-Road is a FIM homologated Airbag System designed specifically to handle the rigors of Rally riding and provide unrivalled upper body protection. Developed and tested since 2017, in the most grueling conditions of the Dakar Rally, the world’s toughest off-road race, the Tech-Air® Off-Road System offers the most advanced active airbag technology for off-road riding.

The System is integrated with an Alpinestars Off-Road Protection Jacket that is equipped with a Level 1 passive full back and limb protection, integrated protection on the arms and a CE Level 2 passive full chest protector to offering riders enhanced roost protection against rocks, debris, and other obstacles they may come into contact with on the trail. Built tough enough to tackle any terrain, the System comes pre-loaded with three Riding Modes; ENDURO, RALLY, and STREET, making it the perfect choice for every type of off-road and street riding.
