TECH-AIR 7X RACE SYSTEM BLACK RED

Key Features

Tech-Air® 7x System is equipped with two Riding Modes, RACE and STREET, which have specific AI crash detection algorithms that can be easily selected via the Tech-Air® App.

• Tech-Air® 7x System is engineered to be worn under any Alpinestars Tech-Air® Ready or Tech-Air® Compatible leather suits or jackets, or any third-party leather suit with 4 cm of space around the circumference of the rider’s chest. The additional space for the chest is necessary to be able to accommodate the inflation of the Airbag in the event of a deployment. In addition, the leather suit should not be too tight in the crotch area, to prevent discomfort in the event of deployment.
• Tech-Air® 7x System is designed to be quickly and easily attached to Tech-Air® Compatible race suits or jackets for increased practicality and enhanced comfort.
• Tech-Air® 7x System is equipped with a convertor kit, allowing it to also be worn as a standalone Airbag System for real-world versatility.
• The Tech-Air® 7x System features dual charge capability, which means that with two full gas inflators, the System provides two separate Airbag deployments. Only one gas inflator will deploy to inflate the entire Airbag System during a crash scenario.
• A quick-release cover; opening allows for rapid gas inflator replacement by users, only available in countries where gas inflator replacement by individuals is permitted by local regulations.
• The Tech-Air® 7x System uses an integrated, certified lithium-ion battery, with a fully charged battery life of approximately 20 hours of active ride time, and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours; charging the battery for approximately 1 hour will provide approximately 7 to 8 hours of riding time.
• Ease of use; to turn on the Tech-Air® 7x System, simply close the Front Flap, taking care to correctly attach the hook and loop patches. An internal magnetic switch will detect the Front Flap is closed and the System will automatically turn on and activate the Airbag System. To deactivate the Airbag, open the Front Flap and it will automatically turn off.
• The Tech-Air® 7x System’s base layer can be handwashed separately, after the removal of the non-washable parts that include the Airbag, Gas Inflators, and ALL the electronic components, including the LED Display, and the wiring.
