Alpine Stars New Tech Air MX Could Change MX and SX Racing - Inside Look of CES 2025
Alpine Stars is redefining motorcycle safety with its groundbreaking TechAir MX airbag system. Visit Alpine Stars to explore how they’re transforming the world of motorcycle protection with unmatched innovation.
The Innovation Journey
Motorcycling is an exhilarating but inherently risky activity, and Alpine Stars is on a mission to minimize that risk. With over 20 years of development, their TechAir systems have become the gold standard in rider safety. The new TechAir MX, specifically designed for off-road riders, showcases years of expertise refined into a dynamic system that anticipates and responds to crashes in milliseconds.
What sets the TechAir MX apart is its internal tri-axial sensors, monitoring rider movement 1,000 times per second. No tethers, no external sensors—this is safety technology at its sleekest. Once a crash is detected, the airbag deploys within 25 milliseconds, reducing up to 95% of impact energy transferred to the rider. From motocross to supercross, this system adapts to the extreme demands of off-road riding.
Impact & Vision
Alpine Stars has long been a pioneer in motorcycling safety, and the TechAir MX continues that legacy. With the goal of protecting riders across all disciplines, they’ve developed tailored systems for street, track, and off-road riders. According to Brent Jasowinski, Sales Communications Manager at Alpine Stars, this innovation is "a game-changer, offering riders the confidence to enjoy their sport while staying protected."
Beyond just safety, Alpine Stars focuses on ease of use and accessibility. Riders can service the system themselves, eliminating the need for professional re-packing or canister replacements. This convenience ensures protection is always just a quick setup away, whether on the trail or at home.
Behind the Technology
The brilliance of TechAir systems lies in their predictive technology. Using advanced algorithms, the system identifies crash scenarios and deploys airbags before impact. Riders are shielded across vital areas like the chest, back, and shoulders, ensuring maximum safety without sacrificing comfort or mobility.
Alpine Stars didn’t just stop at off-road systems. The TechAir lineup includes the TechAir 5 Plasma, further enhancing protection for various riding disciplines. As Jasowinski highlights, this innovation represents "the pinnacle of our technology," building on decades of racing expertise across two and four wheels.
Our Perspective
Having captured Alpine Stars’ booth at CES 2025, it’s clear this isn’t just another safety feature—it’s a revolution. The ability to personalize systems for different riding styles is a standout feature, and the user-serviceable design is a win for practicality. Off-road riders will especially appreciate the balance of protection and adaptability the TechAir MX offers.
One potential area for future exploration is the integration of additional analytics, such as crash data feedback, to further improve rider performance and safety.
Future Outlook & Final Thoughts
As Alpine Stars prepares to launch the TechAir MX in July 2025, the future of motorcycling safety has never looked brighter. Their relentless pursuit of innovation, coupled with a deep understanding of rider needs, positions them as leaders in the industry.
Looking ahead, we see this technology becoming a standard for riders globally, providing a new benchmark for safety. Alpine Stars isn’t just protecting riders—they’re empowering them to push boundaries while staying safe.
