VANCE & HINES YAMAHA R7
ROAD RACING EXHAUST

The Vance & Hines Hi-Output 2-into-1 exhaust system
for the Yamaha YZF-R7 is available now through the
Vance & Hines Racing Development Center. Designed
for closed-course competition, the stainless-steel
exhaust has a fully-serviceable muffler. The two-
piece sprung design reduces vibration for greater
durability, while the modular system makes replacing
components from crash damage more affordable. The
tapered headers increase performance by a claimed
10% over stock, and the exhaust sits higher on the
bike, allowing for steeper lean angles.
ALPINESTARS TECH-AIR AIRBAG SYSTEMS
$TBA II 800.438.2577

Alpinestars has three new, autonomous rider airbag systems: Tech-Air 10,
Tech-Air 3 and Tech-Air Off-Road V2. The Tech-Airs have integrated sensors
that use gyroscopes and accelerometers to detect a crash to automatically
inflate to protect the rider's upper body. The Tech-Air 10 is made for track
and street riders, and it can be worn underneath any suit that has enough
room to accommodate the inflation of the airbag. The packable Tech-Air 3
is worn over the jacket and is aimed at the commuter and street rider. The
Tech-Air Off-Road V2 airbag system, developed and used in the last three
Dakar races, is expected to be available later this year.
