Alpinestars Supertech S-M10 Carbon Helmet

Rome wasn't built in a day. Don't expect a sprawling city that can be considered the first ever metropolis or the capital of the world to be made lickety split. Similarly, Alpinestars' first foray into off-road motorcycle helmets took years of development, but the pay-off is a high end carbon fiber helmet with state of the art features and materials.

The Alpinestars Supertech S-M10 Carbon helmet uses a lightweight carbon fiber shell that comes in 4 different shell sizes. Its visor release system holds the visor/peak securely, but releases in the event of impact. Alpinestars provides 2 peaks with 2 different angles depending on the rider's preference. Ventilation is top notch with numerous inlet and outlet ports connected with a series of airways that snake through the interior. The internal liner is an amalgamation of protective and comfort materials. A multiple density inner liner absorbs impacts while a Mips-E2 How does the Mips® safety system How does the Mips® safety system work? The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has shear properties similar to water or gel. When different parts of the brain move relative to each other because of rotational motion, the tissues can stretch, which can cause concussions or other brain injuries. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips® safety system consists of a low friction layer mounted inside the helmet. In a crash, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury. work?

Revised Mips-E2 technology slides 10 to 15mm in all directions, providing the helmet wearer with the best possible protection against head and brain damage, especially in the event of a fall with a glancing impact as a result of rotational movement. liner protects against rotational energy. Alpinestars' proprietary A-Head system is an adjustable head frame that allows you to adjust how the helmet sits on the head. Soft EPP foam cushions the bottom lip of the helmet to help avoid collarbone injury in the event of a crash. Emergency removable cheek pads along with a design prepared for the E-Ject helmet removal system make the Alpinestars Supertech S-M10 Carbon Helmet a protective motocross helmet filled to the brim with safety features. 

This isn't a fast food burger that has been sitting under a heat lamp. This type of refinement has to be made from the ground up. The feature packed Alpinestars Supertech S-M10 Carbon Helmet is a Michelin starred restaurant's tasting menu compared to lower end helmets.

• DOT and ECE 22.06 ECE 22.06 is a helmet safety rating that extends and increases the testing requirements of ECE 22.05 (with 22.05 being a more modern, more comprehensive European alternative to DOT). With 22.06, 12 additional impact points are analyzed (now totaling 18) and impact speed is increased (from 7.5 to 8.2 m/s). Unlike DOT, every ECE helmet model must actually be tested by an independent lab before it receives 22.06 certification. approved
