Alpinestars Supertech M8 Factory MX Offroad Helmet Black/Yellow SM

At the outset of the MX helmet project. Alpinestars product philosophy was applied and a set of specific objectives set:
– Create the most advanced. protective and performance enhancing helmet possible.
– Primary objective: protection ?C to create the most high performance protection possible.
– Secondary objective: to give excellent ventilation. comfort. and reduced weight.

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 understand-how and a project plan led by the best brains in protection advancement.

Hence Alpinestars Helmet Progress Department was created and given the brief to investigation and advance the most protective and most comfortable possible motocross helmet. The goal was to allow riders to push the limits of performance. benefiting from confidence inspiring safety technology. reduced weight distribution to minimize muscular effort in the neck. shoulders and back and improved physiological and cognitive performance with a supremely well fitting and well ventilated construction. optimizing comfort while riding.

The design is coherent to Alpinestars philosophy and distributes distinctive themes with other products in the portfolio; a smooth. attractive. profile which is streamlined and free of any external channels and features that might act as a load point in an impact. or compromise the overall integrity of the construction. The surface curvature promotes reduced friction on impact. allowing deflection and the most efficient transfer of energy to protect the rider’s head from direct force to the skull and referred to the neck and spinal column. The aperture is designed to accommodate a wide variety of goggles and the air vents in the shell are located to maximize ventilation efficiency.

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 surface as uniquely ‘Alpinestars’.

Another key feature is the S-M8 shell sizing answer; each helmet fit size has its own appropriate shell size to deliver the most anatomical answer for the wide variety of fit needs worldwide.

Protectty: Supertech M8 Construction.? Shell construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination: uni-directional carbon composite with aramid layer that gives meaningful radial strength around the shell. preventing compression but allowing controlled deflection for reducing transmitted impact energy. and providing critical penetration protection.
? This combination of layers is given even greater performance with an epoxy resin bonding that offers the best possible strength and energy management; limited outer shell deflection means the energy spreads wider and is better absorbed by the EPS liner.
? The result of the unique shell lay-up process employed in the S-M8 construction results in extremely effective impact protection. With a fully equipped helmet testing facility. within Alpinestars Racing Progress Center. an exhaustive impact investigation program has resulted in the Supertech M8 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%.
