The Supertech M8 helmet's design exemplifies Alpinestars' philosophy, sharing distinctive themes with their product portfolio. Its smooth, attractive, and streamlined profile is free of any external channels or features, maintaining the overall integrity of the construction. The helmet's shell utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination:

• 3K Carbon: A high-density carbon outer layer that improves the strength and efficiency of energy dissipation over the shell.
• Uni-directional carbon composite layer: This gives significantly greater radial strength around the shell, preventing compression but allowing controlled deflection to reduce transmitted impact energy.

The S-M8 shell has been profiled with performance as the top priority, featuring a design style that uniquely identifies the helmet's profile and sculpted surface as "Alpinestars." Approved by DOT and meeting the FMVSS 218 standard, the helmet's sizing solution is another key feature. Each fit size has its own appropriate shell size to deliver the most anatomical solution for a wide variety of fit needs worldwide.

The combination of these layers is further enhanced by an epoxy resin bonding, offering the best possible strength and energy management. The limited outer shell deflection means the energy spreads wider and is better absorbed by the EPS liner. The unique shell lay-up process employed in the S-M8 construction results in extremely effective impact protection.

Alpinestars' Racing Development Center houses a fully equipped helmet testing facility, where an exhaustive impact research program has been conducted. The Supertech M8 has demonstrated superior performance, with a 41% improvement in linear impact protection and a 48% improvement in rotational acceleration (oblique impact) compared to current helmet regulation standards.

The helmet's construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology, combining multiple composite materials to deliver exceptional impact protection. The 3K carbon outer layer enhances strength and energy dissipation, while the uni-directional carbon composite layer provides greater radial strength around the shell, allowing controlled deflection to reduce transmitted impact energy.

The distinctive design of the S-M8 shell, with its sculpted surface and unique "Alpinestars" profile, reflects the brand's commitment to both style and performance. Approved by DOT and meeting the FMVSS 218 standard, the helmet's sizing solution ensures a tailored, anatomical fit for a wide range of users.

The combination of the advanced material layup, epoxy resin bonding, and the extensive impact testing program has resulted in the Supertech M8 delivering exceptional impact protection, far exceeding current helmet regulation standards. Alpinestars' dedication to innovation and safety is evident in the development of this high-performance motorcycle helmet.
