Alpinestars Supertech M8 Solid Helmet - Matte Black - M
Category: alpinestars helmet
The Supertech M8 helmet from Alpinestars is the result of over half a decade of world-class innovation in motorsports, particularly in the field of motocross. Alpinestars' depth of experience and commitment to delivering advanced technology have been instrumental in the creation of this exceptional helmet.
The shell construction of the Supertech M8 utilizes a highly advanced molding technology, combining uni-directional carbon composite with an aramid layer. This unique combination provides significant radial strength around the shell, preventing compression while allowing controlled deflection to reduce the energy transmitted upon impact. Furthermore, the shell design offers critical penetration protection.
The helmet is available in 4 anatomical shell sizes, ensuring a close and comfortable fit for a wide range of head shapes. The energy-absorbing layer, formed with a multi-density EPS polymer, soaks up impact forces dissipated over the outer shell at the point of impact, providing an inner helmet profile that effectively manages these forces.
Another key feature of the Supertech M8 is the patented A-Head fitting height and angle adjustment system, allowing for a customized fit. The unique, patented visor release system is another innovative aspect of the helmet's design, enhancing its overall functionality.
The Supertech M8 is also compatible with hydration systems, making it a versatile choice for endurance events or prolonged riding sessions. Collarbone protection is an important design feature of the helmet, as the shell base profile has been engineered to address this critical area of safety.
The helmet incorporates the Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS), which is designed to reduce the rotational forces that can be transmitted to the brain in the event of an impact. Additionally, the Emergency Release System (ERS) allows for the safe and efficient removal of the helmet in emergency situations.
For worldwide use, the Supertech M8 has been certified to meet DOT (Department of Transportation) and ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) safety standards. The chin strap, wider than the certification requirement at 26 mm, is made of a woven poly yarn, providing a soft and comfortable feel while maintaining a secure connection with the double D-ring.
In summary, the Alpinestars Supertech M8 helmet is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and safety in motorsports. Its advanced features, including the multi-composite shell, energy-absorbing liner, and specialized safety systems, make it a standout choice for discerning riders seeking the highest levels of protection and performance.
