Motorcyclists, especially racing experts lead an extremely dangerous life because of the high speed and high risk aspects of their trade. This is why it is absolutely necessary to have fool-proof safety equipment while riding. In this aspect, airbag-equipped safety suits have been a blessing for years. Now, these gears are becoming a mandate for all racers and also they are being made readily available for normal riders, as well. Alpinestars has brought about a new system under the name of Tech-Air Street system, which is a type of modern safety equipment for riders. It comprises an inner vest fitted with airbags on the shoulders, back and the chest. Apart from these, the vest has been provided with ultra-sensitive sensors, which will determine whether the rider has crashed or not. Depending on the status of the rider, the vest zips into a compatible jacket for additional protection for the rider.
Tech Air Street has been designed in such a way so that it is capable to work in almost any environment unlike other specific systems. It functions effectively from dirt road to urban highways. Moreover, the system employs a complex algorithm to determine the exact time to deploy its effect. It has only one limitation, which is it cannot be operated suitably on off-roads.
The vest can be easily tucked into a jacket has an extended battery life up to 25 hours, which can be recharged using a USB port. The LED display on the sleeve shows how much charge is left. The best part is that the operational technique is to just zip it on and it starts functioning irrespective of the type of bike. No special programming or mapping is required for its operation. The system, when determines a crash, can inflate in a matter of 25 milliseconds. Its standard activation time is a mere 60 milliseconds. So, all it takes 85 milliseconds in total to identify and protect in a crash situation.
The Tech-Air Street will be available for sale in Europe at nearly 1500 USD for the vest. A couple of hundred more for the entire jacket and your life on roads becomes much safer.
