Alpinestars Supertech R10 Helmet & Spoiler - Element - Carbon/Red/White
Introducing a cutting-edge helmet designed for the serious rider, featuring an advanced outer shell crafted from a multi-composite combination. This includes a 3K high-density carbon outer layer, uni-directional carbon composite, aramid fiber, and fiberglass, providing exceptional strength and energy dissipation. The innovative molding technology ensures that the ideal balance of resin versus fiber is achieved, maximizing mechanical performance while maintaining a lightweight structure. This design not only enhances energy management but also limits outer shell deflection, allowing energy to be effectively absorbed by the EPS liner.
The inner shell consists of an eight-piece multi-density EPS liner, strategically positioned with six specific densities to ensure optimal energy absorption from impacts. This construction guarantees a snug and comfortable fit, enhancing both comfort and safety during rides. The EPS inner surface is polished to create a low-friction area, significantly reducing the forces transmitted to the rider’s head, neck, and spine during oblique impacts, thus minimizing the risk of concussion.
Equipped with the A-Head Fitment System, this helmet allows for precise tuning to meet individual rider preferences, enabling adjustments in height and angle for the perfect fit. Aerodynamically optimized through CFD simulations and validated in wind tunnel tests, the helmet features two aerodynamic spoilers—standard and race versions—designed to detach upon significant impact, reducing potential rotational energy. Additionally, lateral winglets enhance stability and improve aerodynamic drag, while the visor incorporates turbulators for superior aero-acoustic performance.
Ventilation is paramount, with a total of 11 ventilation points (excluding the eye port) that include 7 intakes and 4 exhausts. Airflow circulates effectively over the rider’s head via strategically placed channels within the EPS liner. The top vent features a central slider for optimal comfort, allowing for hot air extraction from the forehead. The chin vents are designed to channel air towards the inner side of the shield, effectively preventing fogging and misting, while the chin bar vents facilitate the extraction of humid air from inside the helmet.
This helmet is not just about protection; it embodies a blend of comfort, performance, and cutting-edge technology, making it an essential choice for any serious rider looking to enhance their riding experience.
