Alpinestars Supertech M8 Helmet – Factory Blue/Orange/Yellow – 2XL
The Alpinestars Supertech M8 Helmet is a state-of-the-art racing helmet designed to deliver maximum protection, comfort, and customization for professional and serious amateur riders. Featuring a sophisticated multi-composite shell construction, this helmet combines uni-directional carbon fiber with aramid layers that provide exceptional radial strength and impact resistance. The advanced molding technology ensures a lightweight profile, while the epoxy resin bonding enhances durability and energy management.
Inside, the helmet boasts a multi-density EPS polymer liner that absorbs and disperses impact forces efficiently. The liner’s four-section design allows for tailored density zones, optimizing comfort and impact performance across different areas of the head. The close-fitting shape offers a snug yet comfortable fit, reducing unwanted movement during high-speed riding. The helmet also includes an A-Head fitting height and angle adjustment system for fine-tuning the helmet’s positioning, ensuring a personalized fit that adapts to the rider’s preferences and riding style.
Safety features are at the forefront of the Supertech M8 design. The helmet incorporates a multi-directional impact protection system (MIPS?), which reduces rotational forces transferred to the brain during angled impacts. The helmet’s shell is designed with a relief section at the base to clear the collarbone, complemented by an energy absorption pad that deflects impact forces away from sensitive areas. The polypropylene chinbar adds lateral deflection for enhanced impact protection, and the helmet’s visor release system is engineered to detach securely upon significant impacts, minimizing injury risks from visor detachment or leverage forces.
Additional safety innovations include an Emergency Release System (ERS) that allows quick and safe removal of cheek padding by trackside support or medical personnel, and an optional helmet *Eject* inflation system for emergency helmet removal without stressing the rider’s spine. The helmet’s base is sculpted to provide clearance for the collarbone, with a flexible impact-absorbing pad and polypropylene chinbar that further enhance impact protection.
Comfort and security are paramount with features like a wider-than-standard chin strap made from woven poly yarn for a soft feel and secure connection via a double D-ring. The helmet’s weight has been meticulously optimized for strength and energy absorption, ensuring maximum protection without unnecessary bulk. Designed for elite riders, the Alpinestars Supertech M8 is the ultimate choice for those who demand top-tier safety, precision fit, and cutting-edge technology in their racing helmet.
