FAQs
How often should I charge the Tech-Air® 10 system?
Charge the system before each ride and regularly thereafter. The system's battery life is designed to last for several hours of continuous use.
Can I use the Tech-Air® 10 with any leather suit?
The system is primarily designed for Alpinestars Tech-Air® Ready or Tech-Air® Compatible suits. However, it can be used with other leather suits, provided there's adequate space for airbag inflation (4 cm chest, 2 cm hips).
What happens after the airbag deploys?
After deployment, the system needs to be returned to Alpinestars for inspection and service. The airbag and possibly other components will be replaced. The system is single-use.
How do I know if the system is working correctly?
The system provides status indications (e.g., via LED lights) to show its operational state. Always refer to the user manual for specific details and error codes.
What kind of protection does the Tech-Air® 10 provide?
The Tech-Air® 10 protects the shoulders, chest, full back, and hips, providing comprehensive coverage and significantly reducing the impact force during a crash.
Is the Tech-Air® 10 waterproof?
The system is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure proper care and maintenance to protect the electronic components.
What should I do if my system gets wet?
If the system gets wet, remove it from the suit and let it dry completely in a well-ventilated area before use. Do not use heat sources. Inspect the system for any signs of damage.
