ALPINESTARS Supertech R10 Helmet - Element - Carbon/Silver/Black

Experience unparalleled protection and performance with this advanced full-face helmet, engineered for the discerning rider. The outer shell is crafted using cutting-edge molding technology that combines multiple composite materials, including a 3K high-density carbon outer layer, uni-directional carbon composite, aramid fiber, and fiberglass. This multi-layered construction, bonded with epoxy resin applied to pre-preg fibers, optimizes the balance of resin and fiber to deliver exceptional strength, mechanical performance, and lightweight characteristics. The result is superior energy management with limited outer shell deflection, allowing impact forces to be effectively dispersed and absorbed by the inner liner.

The inner shell features an eight-piece multi-density EPS liner with six strategically positioned densities, ensuring excellent energy absorption and a close, comfortable fit. Four inner shell options are optimized to provide a precise fit, enhancing comfort, reducing weight, and most importantly, increasing the helmet's effectiveness during impacts. The EPS inner surface is polished and coated to create a low-friction area that facilitates superior oblique impact management. This design allows the comfort liner to move independently against the EPS, significantly reducing the forces transmitted to the head, neck, brain, and spine from rotational or oblique impacts, thereby lowering the risk of concussion.

Customization is enhanced by the innovative A-Head Fitment System, which enables riders to adjust both the height and angle at which the helmet sits, tailoring the fit to individual preferences. This system accommodates variations in how deep the head sits inside the helmet and the forward or backward tilt, ensuring optimal comfort and safety.

Developed through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and validated in wind tunnels and on the track, the helmet boasts aerodynamic excellence with low drag and enhanced stability. It includes two aerodynamic spoilers—a standard and a longer race version—each equipped with elastic joints that allow detachment upon significant impact to reduce rotational energy. Additional lateral winglets further improve stability and aerodynamic efficiency, while the visor features turbulators to enhance aero-acoustic performance.

Ventilation is expertly engineered with 11 ventilation points (excluding the eye port), comprising seven intakes—three in the chin guard and four on the helmet's top—and four exhausts, including two lateral ports on the chin bar and two on the top rear. Integrated air ducts channel airflow through the EPS liner, circulating air over and around the rider's head before exhausting it efficiently. The top vent includes a large central slider that directs air to the top of the head for increased comfort and hot air extraction from the forehead. Rear extractor vents under the spoiler and chin bar vents work together to prevent fogging and misting by creating a laminated airflow along the visor's inner surface and removing humid air.

Designed for street riders seeking premium safety, comfort, and aerodynamic performance, this helmet represents the pinnacle of modern helmet technology.
