Alpinestars Supertech M8 Helmet – Factory Edition – Medium Black, Yellow & Blue
The Alpinestars Supertech M8 Helmet in the Factory colorway offers advanced safety features and exceptional comfort for professional and serious motorsport enthusiasts. Crafted with cutting-edge multi-composite shell technology, this helmet combines uni-directional carbon fiber and aramid layers that provide outstanding radial strength. This design effectively prevents compression while allowing controlled deflection to reduce impact energy transfer, ensuring optimal protection during high-speed impacts. The epoxy resin bonding enhances the overall strength and energy management capabilities of the shell, contributing to a lightweight yet durable helmet that meets the highest safety standards.
Inside the helmet, a multi-density EPS liner absorbs and dissipates impact forces across specific zones, enhancing both safety and comfort. The liner’s design conforms closely to the rider’s head, offering a snug fit that minimizes movement during aggressive maneuvers. The helmet features a four-section liner construction, allowing for precise density adjustments to optimize impact absorption, comfort, and fit. Additionally, the adjustable A-Head fitting system enables riders to fine-tune the helmet’s height and angle, ensuring a personalized and secure fit for various riding styles and preferences. The micro-adjustable pads further enhance comfort by allowing subtle tilt and raise adjustments.
Designed with rider safety as a top priority, the Supertech M8 incorporates a multi-directional impact protection system (MIPS?), which reduces rotational forces transmitted to the brain during oblique impacts. A low-friction slip layer between the comfort padding and energy absorption shell dampens rotational accelerations, significantly decreasing the risk of brain injuries such as concussions. The helmet’s visor release system is engineered to stay securely mounted during normal riding but detach safely under high-impact conditions, preventing potential injuries caused by visor separation. Its innovative anchoring mechanism minimizes leverage and rotational forces, maintaining shell integrity during crashes.
The helmet*s base has been sculpted with a relief section to clear the rider’s collarbone, further enhanced by a flexible impact absorption pad over the clavicle area. The polypropylene chinbar offers lateral deflection, adding another layer of impact protection. Safety features extend to the emergency release system (ERS), allowing quick and safe removal of cheek pads by support and medical personnel without exerting undue pressure on the rider’s spine. An optional helmet ‘Eject’ inflation system can be installed internally for rapid, trauma-free removal in emergency situations. The wider chin-strap, made with soft woven poly yarn, provides comfortable and secure retention, secured with a durable double D-ring closure. Overall, the Alpinestars Supertech M8 Helmet combines innovative safety features, lightweight construction, and adjustable comfort to meet the demands of professional racing and serious track day riders.
