The RACING GRID TECH-AIR® COMPATIBLE suit is designed for track riding. Fully equipped for race use, including preparation for the Alpinestars TECH-AIR® airbag system, which can be purchased with the suit or at a later date. The system works electronically, thanks to the ACU (Airbag Control Unit) software which detects, and activates in a hazardous situation. This system has a number of advantages over some competitors including no tether connection to the motorcycle, as well as no need of a communication signal connection, as is often required by GPS linked systems. The airbag provides full 360 degree protection of the upper body with reinforcement over the shoulders, chest, upper abdomen, back and kidney area. A great benefit is that the TECH-AIR® airbag can be configured in either RACE mode (for the track) or STREET (for the road). The system contains two inflation cartridges and in STREET mode both are activated at the same time, in the event of an accident. Inflating in up to an unbelievable 25 ms. On the track, in RACE mode, one cartridge is activated on the first deployment, leaving the second, should the rider remount to still be protected. Increase riding safety, ride with the airbag!
