Alpinestars Supertech M8 Helmet
At the outset of the MX helmet project. Alpinestars product philosophy was applied and a set of specific objective set:
- create the most advanced, protective and performance enhancing helmet possible
- primary objective: protection-to create the most high performance protection possible
- secondary objective: to give excellent ventilation, comfort and reduced weight
Alpinstars approach to the creation of the advanced technololgy in the Supertech M8 draws on its depth of experience from over half a decade of world class innovation across the spectrum of motosports and especially, its deep rooted commitment to motocross. As with all other categories of technology that Alpinetstars has mastered, bringing a new, highly complex, product to fruition requires specialist experience and know-how and a product plan led by the best brains in protection development. The S-M8 shell has been profiled with performance as a priority and with a design style that identifies the profile of the helmet and its sculpted surfaced as uniquely "Alpinestars". Another key feature is the S-M8 shell sizing solution; each helmet fit size has its own appropriate shell size to deliver the most anatomical solution for the wide variety of fit needs worldwide
- ECE/DOT
- Shell construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination; uni-directional carbon composite with aramid layer that gives significant radial strength around the shell, reventing compression but allowing controlled delfection for reducing transmitted impact energy, and providing critical penetration protection
- 4 anatomical shell sizes
- Multi-density EPS polymer liner
- Patented A-Head fitting height and angel adjustment system
- Unique, patented visor release system
- Collarbone protection feature at the shell base
- Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS)
- Emergency Release System (ERS)
- Eject inflation system fitment inside the crown of the shell
