Alpinestars Supertech R10 Helmet

Alpinestars has set a new standard in helmet design by launching its latest masterpiece, the Supertech R10 Road Racing Helmet Launch Edition. This cutting-edge helmet culminates over a decade of meticulous research, development, and testing to create the ultimate protective gear for racers and riders worldwide.

Collaborating closely with MotoGP legends Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Martin and the talented Jack Miller, Alpinestars’ Helmet Product Development Department spared no effort in perfecting the Supertech R10. The primary focus was on delivering unparalleled performance and safety without compromising comfort. The result is a helmet that combines exceptional ventilation, lightweight construction, and uncompromising protection.

Crafted with precision, the Supertech R10Helmet Launch Edition boasts a striking dark candy red colorway with vibrant red accents. The carbon glossy finish features a unique grading effect by incorporating dark candy red ink into the clear coating and manually spraying it on the carbon helmet. Alpinestars’ branding on the helmet is tastefully subtle, adding intense contrasting energy. The internal helmet lining is handcrafted in Italy, ensuring a premium fit and feel.

The Supertech R10’s shell construction is a marvel of engineering, combining multiple composite layers to disperse energy effectively during impacts. Homologated to ECE 22.06, DOT, and FIM standards, this helmet employs a sophisticated molding technology that combines 3K high-density carbon, uni-directional carbon composite, aramid fiber, and fiberglass layers. This composition ensures outstanding strength, energy dissipation, and penetration protection. The advanced epoxy resin bonding maximizes strength, performance, and lightweight characteristics, resulting in improved energy management and absorption by the EPS liner.

Matching the outer shell’s four-layer construction, the Supertech R10 Helmet incorporates an eight-piece multi-density EPS liner available in four anatomical sizes. This optimization guarantees an ideal fit, enhancing comfort, reducing weight, and, most importantly, improving impact efficacy. The smooth inner surface, polished and coated to minimize friction, enables superior oblique impact management. Alpinestars’ commitment to rotational, diagonal, and linear force management is realized through the low-friction surface, allowing independent head movement inside the helmet, thereby reducing transmitted forces and the risk of concussion.

The Supertech R10 takes personalization to the next level with its unique and patented A-Head Fitment System. Riders can fine-tune the helmet’s fit according to their preferences by adjusting the height and angle to achieve precise and comfortable positioning. The EPS, equipped with the A-Head Fitment System, offers an ultra-specific setup, accommodating variations in head depth and tilt.

Developed through CFD simulations, validated in the wind tunnel, and tested on the track, the Supertech R10 Helmet sets a new standard for low drag performance and maximum aerodynamic stability.

Starting from July 10th, motorcycle enthusiasts can experience the pinnacle of road racing protection by purchasing the Supertech R10 Helmet Launch Edition on their site. This exclusive release is limited to 200 numbered units, making it a true collector’s item. Alongside the helmet, a range of accessories, such as race and standard spoilers, clear and dark smoke visors, tear-offs, Pinlock lens, chin curtain, and wind and breath deflectors, are all conveniently stored in the paddock helmet bag provided.

The Alpinestars Supertech R10 Helmet Launch Edition offers excellent ventilation, lightweight construction, and superior impact protection. Its stunning design and limited edition status make the Supertech R10 Helmet a proper piece of protective gear and a highly desired collector’s item.
