Alpinestars Tech Air 3 Stella V2
Specifications
Alpinestars' lightest autonomous Airbag System, the Stella Tech-Air 3 v2, is designed to be worn over or under a motorcycle jacket, making it an effective and practical choice for touring riders, urban commuters, and light off-road adventurers. The Stella Tech-Air 3 v2 features an ergonomically optimized women's-specific fit with a tapered cut for enhanced comfort. The system is also user serviceable, allowing riders to replace the gas inflator canisters after an airbag deployment. Alpinestars' crash detection algorithm, developed and refined through millions of kilometers of riding data and thousands of crashes, accurately determines when to deploy the airbag ahead of an impact or during dangerous situations such as lowside or highside crashes. When a crash is detected, the system inflates the protective airbag in just 50 milliseconds. In the event of a direct impact with another vehicle or obstacle, the Stella Tech-Air 3 v2 is effective for the "first impact," meaning it inflates before contact occurs. This test was conducted according to the Dolomiticert Protocol within a speed range of 25 to 63 km/h. Featuring a water-resistant main chassis and waterproof ECU and electronics, the slim, self-contained system can also be worn under most motorcycle jackets, including Alpinestars' Tech-Air Ready models or any leather or textile jacket with sufficient room for airbag deployment. The Stella Tech-Air 3 v2 lets riders enjoy every ride with greater confidence and protection.
