After more than a decade of development in MotoGP and following the Alpinestars first generation racing airbag system and the introduction of the innovative Tech-Air® Street, this latest version of Alpinestars Tech-Air® technology brings complete upper body protection to ambitious motorcyclists who are not only on the road but also on the race track. The Tech-Air® Race is completely self-contained, meaning no individual configurations are required between motorbike and rider, ensuring the ultimate in comfort. When fully inflated, the airbag provides critical protection for the back, kidneys, chest and shoulders. With a simple upgrade to the software, the Race system can also be configured to be used on- and off-road with the Tech-Air® Street setting. The Tech-Air®Race waistcoat needs to be used in Tech-Air® compatible clothing - Mithos' RCP18 tailored suits are compatible with the TechAir® airbag waistcoat.
