Alpinestars Tech-Air® Off-Road Vest Now Available at PCI Race Radios

Torrance, CA – Off-road riding just got a serious upgrade. The new Tech-Air® Off-Road Airbag System from Alpinestars is now available through PCI Race Radios, marking a significant leap forward in protective technology for off-road riders. Designed specifically for the unique and unpredictable conditions of off-road motorcycling, this intelligent system is engineered to detect a crash and deploy an airbag in the blink of an eye—inflating before impact even occurs.

In a sport where terrain can change rapidly and accidents can happen without warning, the demand for proactive, real-time protection has never been higher. The Tech-Air® Off-Road Vest is more than just gear—it’s a wearable safety system powered by advanced onboard sensors and smart algorithms. These sensors analyze a rider’s movement 1,000 times per second, identifying crash scenarios instantly and activating the internal airbag to provide critical protection to the chest, back, shoulders, and collarbone.

“This is truly a game changer for off-road protection,” says Dakar Rally Champion Ricky Brabec in a recent video interview. “It’s fast, it’s responsive, and honestly—it’s saved my collarbones multiple times. This is the future.”

Unlike other protection systems that rely on physical tethers or external sensors, the Tech-Air® system is completely self-contained. The vest fits under select Alpinestars jackets or body protection setups and integrates seamlessly into any race or recreational gear kit. The system is rechargeable, reusable, and easy to service, making it a practical option for both professional racers and weekend riders alike.

What truly sets this system apart is its adaptability. From high-speed rally stages and rocky desert terrain to tight singletrack and unpredictable backcountry routes, the Tech-Air® Off-Road system is designed to work across a variety of riding environments. It stays out of your way while you ride—but springs into action the moment it’s needed.

“The data behind it is solid,” says David Kamo, PCI product expert and off-road racing champion. “Alpinestars has logged over 100,000 hours of testing on real riders in real-world conditions. It’s not theory—it’s proven performance. I won’t race without one and consider it just as important as my boots, knee braces, or helmet.”

This isn’t just a tool for top-tier competitors. The Tech-Air® system offers serious value for dual-sport riders, adventure enthusiasts, and up-and-coming racers. As safety becomes a greater focus across all forms of powersports, wearable airbag systems like this are helping redefine what it means to ride protected.

The off-road community continues to push boundaries—technologically, physically, and geographically. With that progress comes the responsibility to protect riders with smarter, more advanced equipment. The Tech-Air® system delivers that next level of protection, without sacrificing performance, freedom of movement, or comfort.

Backed by more than six decades of safety innovation, Alpinestars has engineered a product built to meet the demands of today’s toughest riders. Now, with the support of PCI Race Radios—a trusted name in off-road racing since 1972—this elite technology is more accessible than ever.
