ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 Helmet - Factory Black/White/Red, 2XL (Part No. 8302922-1233-2X)

The ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 Helmet is engineered for professional racers and serious enthusiasts seeking peak performance and safety on the track. Crafted with an innovative shell construction, this helmet combines uni-directional carbon composite and aramid layers, providing exceptional radial strength. This multi-composite design ensures the shell resists compression while allowing controlled deflection to absorb impact energy effectively. An epoxy resin bonding enhances the overall strength and energy management capabilities, making this helmet a critical piece of racing gear for high-speed environments.

The impact energy management system is further optimized by a multi-density EPS liner, which absorbs and dissipates forces over the outer shell, reducing transmitted impact forces to the rider. The liner's multi-section construction is tailored to different zones around the head, improving comfort, fit, and energy absorption. The helmet's close-fitting profile is designed for a secure and comfortable fit, enabling riders to focus on their performance without distractions. Additionally, the helmet features an adjustable A-Head fitting system, allowing precise tuning of the helmet's height and angle for a personalized fit, adapting seamlessly to different head shapes and riding styles.

Safety features are a priority with the Supertech M8. Its visor release system is designed to hold the visor securely during extreme conditions, yet allows for safe detachment upon significant impact, minimizing the risk of injury caused by visor separation. The helmet's shell is sculpted to include a relief section that raises the bottom profile, providing additional clearance over the collarbone for enhanced impact protection. An energy absorption pad over the collarbone area, along with a polypropylene chinbar that offers lateral deflection, further enhances impact resistance. The helmet also incorporates the latest MIPS? (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) technology, which reduces rotational forces transmitted to the brain by allowing a low-friction slip layer between the comfort padding and the shell. This advanced design helps mitigate brain injuries such as concussions, especially during multi-directional impacts.

For emergency situations, the ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 features an Emergency Release System (ERS), enabling quick and safe removal of side cheek pads without risking injury to the rider*s spine. An optional helmet 'Eject' inflation system can be installed within the crown for rapid removal if needed. The helmet's chinstrap is wider than industry standards, measuring 1 inch (26 mm), and is crafted from soft woven poly yarn connected via a secure double D-ring closure for maximum comfort and security. Designed with meticulous attention to weight, strength, and energy absorption properties, the Supertech M8 ensures optimal safety without compromising on comfort or performance, making it an ideal choice for competitive racing.
