I’ll take some pictures of it magically turning me into Valentino Rossi 😂😂😂

Also the plus side of living here is track days all year round, the negative is that most of the tracks are out in the Mojave and Chuckwallah Valley deserts, so in the summer you have torturous 100-110 Fahrenheit track days lol…38 to 40 degrees Celsius
 
My little one a year or two ago, she’s been asking for a motorcycle, found this haha:

@Steven31371 the airbag to get is the new tech-air 7x which is a replacement for the tech-air race. I contacted Alpinestars and confirmed it's a full replacement for the race and will integrate fully with any suit that is tech-air race compatible.
 
I plan on getting one but don’t want to be an early adopter after the problems with the 10. I’d love to see something with 10 coverage that could be zipped into a suit.

Near as I can tell the only significant difference is the more readily accessible USB charging, it’s supposedly my comfortable or less bulky too?

I already ordered my suit with the Tech-Air race fit into it, so if it much lower profile it will be compatible with my suit but might make my suit a bit looser.

We’ll see

I have a couple of the Dainese custom GP suits on order, but I’ll be keeping my RS Taichi with the TAR as a backup.

Absolute V2 suit allows you to integrate the 10 into the liner.
The problem with the 10 is that it has so much plastic that you don't get any ventilation anymore. At least the 7x has an area in the middle of the chest to let some air in. Also the 10 only does one deployment and then you have to send it in to recharge the cartridge.
 
Yeah Vircos and several guys here talked me out of the Tech-Air 10, Vircos pushed the Tech-Air Race even though their 372 suit is 10 compatible…I’d love to have the hip protection but the idea of essentially wearing a neoprene wetsuit under my leathers on a 100 degree day is a definate no.
 
@Steven31371 definitely a good idea not to go with the 10.

I’ll want to get the 7x, although I know what @bp_SFV4 means about being an early adopter - I made that mistake with the 10. There’s not much information out there about this but it looks like it’s using the same app as the 10, which does concern me as it was absolute rubbish in terms of connectivity and reliability.

I sort of wish Alpinestars would open up their custom department to the public.

I got the pictures of my Vircos 372 suit finished.

I like it but wish I had not let them talk me into doing the brighter blue for the Kevlar bits between and down the back of the legs, and under the arms etc. the Dark leather bits look black in the pic but are actually a very dark blue called Black Iris.

However I love their liberal use of the Kevlar, especially behind the neck above the hump, I feel like this suit in Kangaroo with all that Kevlar is going to move better than my Cowhide Dianese.

Yeah I was looking at some other suits online just now and saw that it’s common to have the Kevlar behind the neck now, my two Dianese don’t have that.

My first Race suit many many years ago was from Kushitani. Not only were there hardly any stretch panels, but they didn’t even have elbow sliders! I don’t know how people managed…
