WARNING! The Tech-Air® Race airbag system provides only limited protection
against forces experienced at the areas of airbag coverage depicted in Figure
2. No guarantee is given that the Tech-Air® Race airbag system will prevent
injuries (including severe or fatal injuries) inside and/or outside the covered/
protected areas.
WARNING! The protective performance of the airbag is only warranted in the
FIRST crash of a new system or after an airbag recharge. Even if there is no
damage visible on the Vest.
WARNING! The Tech-Air® Race airbag system cannot prevent accidents.
WARNING! No protective device, including the Tech-Air® Race airbag system,
can provide protection against all possible sources of injury and therefore
cannot provide complete protection against injures.
WARNING! Wearing the Tech-Air® Race airbag system is not a substitute
for wearing other protective motorcycling clothing and gear. To provide full
potential protection, the Tech-Air® Race airbag system must always be worn
in conjunction with suitable motorcycling apparel, including a helmet, boots,
gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment.
The Tech-Air® Race airbag system will activate (provided the system is armed, see section 12)
within the following parameters:
• A Highside crash*
• A Lowside crash** with at least one the following characteristics:
• Crash start speed over 80km/h
• Where there is a collision or sudden deceleration during the slide (such has hitting the
curb or another bike)
• Where there is high energy in the body limbs (tumbling or not).
• A crash against an obstacle over 30km/h (such as hitting another bike or a tire barrier)
• Falling off the bike without sliding (such as in a gravel trap)
The Tech-Air®Race airbag system will NOT activate under the following parameters:
• The system is switched off, or not armed.
• In a Lowside crash with at least one of the following characteristics
• The speed of the crash is under 30km/h
• The rider slides without touching the ground with their back or shoulder
• Crashes against obstacles under 30km/h
* A Highside crash is where the rear tire momentarily loses grip, compressing the rear suspension
which can catapult the rider into the air.
** A Lowside crash is where the front tyre loses grip during cornering, causing the motorcycle
to fall onto side.

RACE
WARNING! The user does not need to be involved in a crash for the system to
deploy. For example, the system may deploy if the user falls while wearing
the system, such as when dismounting from the motorcycle if the system is
still armed. These types of "non-riding" deployments are not failures of the
system because the user's body was at risk of injury.
Motorcycle Type
The Tech-Air® Race airbag system can be utilized on any type of motorcycle, including
electric motorcycles.
4. Limitations of Use
WARNING! The Tech-Air® Race airbag system is to be used ONLY for
motorcycling in a closed circuit race track within the conditions and
limitations delineated above.
WARNING! Remember that when using your Tech-Air® Race airbag system on
a race track, the firmware must be the Race firmware. If you have downloaded
the Street firmware onto your Tech-Air® Race airbag system, you MUST
CHANGE the firmware back to Race mode before using your Tech-Air® Race
airbag system on a race track.
The system is NOT for use in:
• Enduro, Motocross, or Supermoto events;
• Motorcycle stunts; or
• ANY non-motorcycling activites.
WARNING! Due to shocks, movement and/or other input detected and/or
received by the system while in use, although unlikely the system may deploy
even though there is no crash-event.
WARNING! Wearing the Tech-Air® Race airbag system is not a substitute
for wearing other protective motorcycling clothing and gear. To offer full
potential protection the system must always be worn in conjunction with
suitable motorcycling apparel that covers the rider from head to toe, including
