(Alpinestars/) The Tech-Air Off-Road’s ergonomics allow for easy layering in cold conditions, but are highly vented and breathable for warmer temperatures. (Alpinestars/) An LED Display shows battery level (Green: over eight hours; Yellow: four to eight hours; Red: one to four hours; Flashing Red: less than one hour), standby status (Blue: system active; Red: system fault) as well as the selected mode (Green). (Alpinestars/) Off-road, the Tech-Air system can differentiate between a heavy load on the bike and an actual crash, determining if the airbag bladder needs to be inflated or not. (Alpinestars/) In the back protector is where the two gas canisters and six triaxial sensors can be found. A red light next to each canister indicates if the charge has been deployed or not. The storage pocket on the back of the system can hold a hydration bladder of up to 3 liters. (Alpinestars/) Alpinestars’ Tech-Air Off-Road connects to the Tech-Air app via Bluetooth for system updates, status checks, and records rides through an enhanced Google map. (Alpinestars/) Alpinestars’ Tech-Air Off-Road LED display is waterproof. The electronics located in the back protector are water resistant. (Alpinestars/) I managed to stay fully dry in my Alpinestars Gore-Tex adventure bike gear. (Alpinestars/) In Rally mode and Enduro mode, the Tech-Air Off-Road will not deploy on most jump landings.
