- Shell construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination:
- 3K Carbon, high density carbon outer layer that improves strength and efficiency of energy dissipation over the shell.
- Uni-directional carbon composite layer that gives significantly greater radial strength around the shell.
- The result of the unique shell lay-up process employed in the S-M10 construction results in extremely effective impact protection. With a fully equipped helmet testing facility, within
- Alpinestars Racing Development Center, an exhaustive impact research program has resulted in the Supertech M10 returning linear and oblique impact performance which far improves upon current helmet regulation standard limits. For direct, linear, impact by an average magnitude of 41% and for rotational acceleration, oblique, impact performance by an average of 48%.
- Aramid fiber layer which provides critical penetration protection.
- Combination of layers is given greater performance with an epoxy resin bonding that offers the best strength and energy management.
- Shell has been profiled with performance as a priority and with a design style that identifies the profile of the helmet and its sculpted surface as uniquely ‘Alpinestars’.
- Each helmet fit size has its own appropriate shell size to deliver the most anatomical solution for the wide variety of fit needs worldwide.
Based in the small Northern Italy town of Asolo and with the perennial Alpine star flower as it's namesake, in 1963 Mr. Mazzarolo began producing the first products bearing the Alpinestars moniker.
Alpinestars, since its inception in 1963, is now the world-leading manufacturer of professional racing products, motorcycling airbag protection, high-performance apparel and technical footwear. Alpinestars understands that the best design and research is achieved under extreme conditions. Our involvement in Formula 1, NASCAR, AMA and World Motocross and MotoGP has led to the creation of the most advanced technical equipment for the world racing’s top athletes.
