Alpinestars approach to the creation of the advanced technology in the Supertech M8 draws on its depth of experience from over half a decade of world class innovation across the spectrum of motorsports and especially, its deep rooted commitment to motocross. As with all other categories of technology that Alpinestars has mastered, bringing a new, highly complex, product to fruition requires specialist experience and know-how and a project plan led by the best in the protection development.
Features:
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, preventing compression but allowing controlled deflection for reducing transmitted impact energy, & providing critical penetration protection
4 anatomical shell sizes
Formed with a multi-density EPS polymer, the energy absorbing layer gives an inner helmet profile which soaks up impact forces dissipated over the outer shell at the point of an impact and provides a shape offering a close & comfortable fit
Patented A-Head fitting height and angle adjustment system
Unique, patented, visor release system is another key attribute incorporated into the design
Hydration system compatibility
Collarbone protection is an important design feature of the Supertech M8 helmet shell base profile
Multi-Directional Impact Protection System: MIPS
Emergency Release System (ERS)
DOT FMVSS 218 certification & ECE homologation for use worldwide
Chin-strap: Wider than certification requirement: 26 mm for comfort & produced with a woven poly yarn to give a soft ‘hand' feel that connects securely with a double D-ring
