ttTriple Threat

ttThe path you take shouldn't be dictated by the limitations of your protective gear. The Tech-Air Off-Road's Enduro, Rally and Street modes keep you covered. Use Enduro mode for low to medium speed trails and technical off-road riding. Toggle Rally mode for those higher speed rally-style rides through the desert, dirt roads or dunes. And for when you hit the asphalt, Street mode is optimized for paved road riding and unfortunate incidents with other motorists.

ttUndercover

ttThe airbag systems of yesteryear share a common complaint - they tend to make you look like you're wearing an airbag. The Tech-Air Off-Road is designed to be worn under your jacket or jersey, offering a low profile design - similar to traditional armored off-road jackets - that hides in plain sight until you need it.

ttLet's face it. Looking good is half the battle, whether you're on the top step of the podium or cruising into town for a coffee.

ttThe Inside Scoop

ttHitting the dirt - it happens, sometimes often. The Tech-Air Off-Road features two gas canisters allowing for two successful deployments, with a quick, field-serviceable cartridge replacement system.

ttThis fully self-contained system features 3 accelerometers (1 triaxial accelerometer) and 3 gyroscopes (1 triaxial gyroscope) integrated in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to provide the best crash monitoring performance. In addition to airbag protection, the Tech-Air Off-Road System is equipped with level 1 passive full back and limb protection, integrated protection on the arms and a CE Level 2 passive full chest protector.

ttTotal Control

ttThe Tech-Air App enables Bluetooth connectivity, providing the ability to monitor the operational and battery status of the system. Additionally, it facilitates the analysis of your ride, including the plotting of your route on a map. With the app or integrated controller, effortlessly switch between Street, Enduro and Rally riding Modes, ensuring optimal protection during both your off-road adventures and daily commute.
