ALPINESTARS Supertech R10 Helmet - Element Carbon/Silver/Black, Small (Part Number 8200324-1368-S)

Supertech R10 Helmet - Element - Carbon/Silver/Black - Small

The ALPINESTARS Supertech R10 helmet combines advanced molding technology with a layered composite shell engineered for optimal strength and energy dissipation. Featuring a high-density 3K carbon outer layer, a uni-directional carbon composite layer, aramid fiber, and fiberglass, this shell provides excellent impact resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile. The bonding of these materials with epoxy resin ensures precise control over resin-to-fiber ratios, maximizing durability, mechanical performance, and energy management. This construction helps distribute impact forces effectively across the shell, reducing the risk of damage and improving rider safety. The multi-density EPS liner is designed with six specific zones of varying density to absorb impact energy efficiently, offering superior protection during crashes. Its eight-piece configuration ensures a close, comfortable fit that enhances overall helmet performance, reduces weight, and ensures proper impact absorption. The smooth, low-friction surface of the EPS liner is optimized for superior oblique impact management, allowing the liner to move independently relative to the rider's head to mitigate rotational and oblique forces. This feature significantly lessens transmitted force to the head, neck, and spine, reducing concussion risk. The innovative A-Head Fitment System provides precise adjustment options for height and angle, allowing riders to customize the helmet’s fit to their head shape and preferences, improving comfort and impact performance. Aerodynamically developed through CFD simulations and validated in wind tunnels and on the track, the Supertech R10 features two detachable spoilers—a standard and a longer race version—with elastic joints designed to detach upon significant impact, helping to reduce rotational energy transfer. Lateral winglets further enhance stability and aerodynamic efficiency, while a visor equipped with turbulators minimizes aero-acoustic disturbances. The helmet's ventilation system includes 11 intake and exhaust points, including three chin guard intakes, four top vents, and four exhaust ports, all integrated with channels that circulate airflow over the rider's head. The large top vent, operated via a central slider, directs airflow for superior comfort and hot air exhaust, complemented by rear extractor vents and chin bar openings designed to prevent fogging and misting for clear visibility. Overall, the ALPINESTARS Supertech R10 offers a comprehensive combination of safety, comfort, and aerodynamic performance, making it an ideal choice for competitive and serious riders seeking advanced protection and customization.
