ALPINESTARS TECH-AIR 5 PLASMA

Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma

The Alpinestars brand presents its new universal autonomous airbag for man, the Tech-Air 5 Plasma.

Designed to meet the new demands of modern motorcycle safety, the Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 PLASMA airbag embodies the latest generation of Alpinestars' intelligent airbags.

Ultra-light and compact, it has been specially developed to fit perfectly under a jacket, offering a discreet, flexible, and comfortable fit.

Its close-fitting design provides a feeling of total freedom while providing advanced upper-body protection.

Developed using Alpinestars' most advanced protection technology, this next-generation system offers complete protection—chest, ribs, back, and shoulders—incorporating a PLASMA back protector optimized for comfort, ventilation, and flexibility.

Thanks to a newly designed intelligent algorithm, the Tech-Air 5 PLASMA offers three distinct riding modes (STREET, OFF-ROAD, and RACE) to adapt to all riding styles.

Its single-deployment system with a user-replaceable gas cartridge ensures continuous, reusable protection, ride after ride.

Total Upper Body Protection:

• The Tech-Air® 5 PLASMA provides complete coverage of the chest, ribs, back, and shoulders, while maintaining an extremely lightweight and ergonomic design for optimal riding comfort.
