ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 Helmet – Factory Blue/Orange/Yellow, Small
The ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 Helmet is engineered for high-performance racing and demanding riding conditions. Designed with advanced multi-composite shell technology, this helmet combines uni-directional carbon composite with an aramid layer to deliver exceptional radial strength and impact resistance. The innovative molding process ensures a lightweight yet durable structure that effectively deflects impact energy, minimizing transmitted forces to protect the rider’s head and neck. The shell’s epoxy resin bonding enhances overall strength and energy management, making the Supertech M8 a top choice for serious racers seeking maximum safety and performance.
The helmet’s impact energy management is further optimized by its multi-density EPS liner, which absorbs and dissipates forces across specific zones. Its multi-section construction allows for tailored density configurations, improving both comfort and protective performance. The close-fitting shape is designed to contour comfortably to the rider’s head, reducing movement and enhancing stability during high-speed maneuvers. Additionally, the helmet features an A-Head fitting height and angle adjustment system, enabling ultra-specific customization of the helmet’s position for optimal comfort, fit, and aerodynamic performance. The micro-adjustable pads allow riders to raise, lower, or tilt the helmet, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of riding style or head shape.
The Supertech M8 is equipped with a secure visor release system that maintains shell integrity while allowing quick and safe visor detachment if subjected to significant impacts. This innovative anchoring design reduces the risk of visor ejection and mitigates rotational forces that could cause neck or spine injuries. The helmet’s design also incorporates a relief section at the bottom to clear the collarbone, complemented by an energy absorption pad over the clavicle area, made of flexible rubber for added impact protection. The polypropylene chinbar offers lateral deflection, further enhancing impact safety for the lower face and collarbone region.
Safety is a primary focus with the integration of the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS?), which reduces rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts. A low-friction slip layer between the comfort padding and energy absorption shell allows for controlled movement upon impact, significantly lowering the risk of brain injuries such as concussions. The helmet also features an Emergency Release System (ERS) that enables quick removal of cheek pads without twisting or pulling on the rider’s neck, facilitating safe and efficient helmet removal by medical personnel. For added emergency preparedness, the helmet can be fitted with an *Eject* inflation system inside the crown, allowing for rapid helmet removal in critical situations without spinal load.
Constructed with comfort and durability in mind, the chin-strap is wider than standard certification requirements at 1 inch (26 mm), crafted from woven poly yarn for a soft, comfortable feel, and secured with a double D-ring closure. The overall weight of approximately 20 pounds ensures a balance of protection and comfort, making the ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 an ideal choice for professional racers and serious riders demanding the best in helmet technology and safety features.
