The most anticipated Alpinestars Electronic Airbag Protection Suit was revealed to the motorcycle press at Alpinestars HQ in Torrance, on April 29, 2010.

Many riding gear manufacturers along with Alpinestars are leaving no stone unturned to bring state of the art rider safety technology to the mainstream. The Bionic Neck Support was one of the first pieces of protective apparatus intended to guard riders from a very definite type of harm.

There was a need for an additional protection. Alpinestars managed to develop the neck brace. The airbag has been deployed for reducing injuries on the street. Mostly arm and shoulder injuries are prone to harm during crashes.

It was revealed in an extensive research that 48% of all road racing crashes result in an injury to this part of the rider's body, according to Alpinestars.

The Alpinestars version of the airbag is very tidy and compact, which adds 1.1 lbs to a suit. The Alpinestars data logger is very condensed, which fits within the hump of the typical A-Stars roadracing suits, thus allowing the system to be tucked away in an orderly manner.
