Alpinestars Tech-Air Street Airbag System. Airbag system for motorcyclists that functions independent to the bike, as the sensors are in the airbag itself. This system is only compatible with Alpinestars jackets prepared for it and, once placed and connected, it is activated by just pulling up the zip of the jacket. The Tech-Air Airbag System detects when the rider collides and inflates in just 25 milliseconds. If the speed is below 25km/h, it is possible that the system does not activate at the moment of the crash but activates if the rider or pillion suddenly falls off the bike after the impact.
