1. Introduction

The Tech-Air™ Street airbag system is an active safety system for mainstream/recreational
motorcycling, which offers protection to both riders and passengers. In the event of an
accident or other triggering event, the airbag system provides upper body protection to the
user regardless of the type or age of motorcycle used. The system is designed to function
in both on-and off-road riding situations (subject to the Off-Road limitations indicated in
Section 3 below).
In this manual the following three presentation styles are used to provide information:
Tip: Provides useful advice regarding the system.
IMPORTANT!
Provides important information regarding the limitations of the system.
WARNING! Provides critical information which, if not followed, may cause
injury, death, system malfunction or non-function, and/or an exaggerated
expectation of the system's abilities.
The Tech-Air™ Street airbag system is comprised of two components.
1. The Alpinestars Tech-Air™ Street airbag vest ("airbag vest");
2. An Alpinestars garment/jacket ("Alpinestars' Compatible Garment/Jacket") compatible
with and to be used with the airbag vest. The airbag vest and the Alpinestars' Compatible
Garment/Jacket are sold separately.
WARNING! The airbag system, including its components (the airbag vest
and the Alpinestars' Compatible Garment/Jacket), are technologically
advanced pieces of motorcycling safety equipment and should not be
treated like a normal motorcycle garment. Similar to one's motorcycle, the
system and its components must be cared for, serviced and maintained,
so that they may function correctly.
WARNING! The airbag vest MUST be used with an Alpinestars' Compatible
Garment/Jacket.
WARNING! Use of an Alpinestars' Compatible Garment/Jacket without the
airbag vest will provide the user with NO airbag protection.
WARNING! It is essential to read this manual carefully, understand it
completely and to follow the advice and warnings. If you have any
questions regarding the equipment contact Tech-Air™ Support (Section 21).
