The ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 Helmet (Part Number: 8302922-7445-MD) is engineered for riders demanding top-tier safety, precision fit, and advanced impact protection. Crafted with cutting-edge materials and innovative design features, this helmet offers exceptional performance for competitive racing and extreme riding conditions. Its sleek shell construction combines uni-directional carbon composite with an aramid layer, providing high radial strength to prevent shell compression while allowing controlled deflection to absorb impact energy. The epoxy resin bonding enhances overall strength and energy management, ensuring optimal safety during high-intensity rides.
The helmet's liner features a multi-density EPS polymer that absorbs and dissipates impact forces effectively, offering a close, comfortable fit tailored to individual rider preferences. The four-section liner construction allows for zone-specific density customization, improving energy absorption, comfort, and fit. Riders can fine-tune the A-Head fitting height and angle adjustment system, as well as raise or lower the helmet's tilt with micro-adjustable pads, providing a personalized fit that enhances safety and comfort in various riding conditions.
Designed with safety and practicality in mind, the ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 includes a secure visor release system capable of detaching the visor during extreme impacts, reducing the risk of leverage-related injuries. The helmet's base is sculpted to provide clearance over the collarbone, complemented by an energy absorption pad in the area, which is made from flexible rubber to deflect impact forces. The polypropylene chinbar further enhances lateral impact protection for the collarbones, making this helmet a comprehensive choice for high-impact scenarios.
Incorporating the revolutionary Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS?), the Supertech M8 reduces rotational forces transmitted to the brain during impacts. The low-friction slip layer allows the helmet's inner components to move independently upon rotational impact, mitigating the risk of brain injuries such as concussions. Additionally, the helmet features an Emergency Release System (ERS) that facilitates quick and safe removal by trackside support or medical personnel, along with a dedicated space for an optional helmet *Eject* inflation system for emergency removal without spinal load.
The entire helmet is designed with rider comfort and safety at the forefront. The wider chin-strap, measuring 26 mm, is constructed from woven poly yarn for a soft feel while ensuring secure fastening with a double D-ring system. The helmet*s weight, approximately 81.6 ounces, has been meticulously optimized through rigorous analysis of material strength, weight, and energy absorption properties, ensuring the best possible balance between safety and comfort. Overall, the ALPINESTARS Supertech M8 is a high-performance racing helmet that combines innovative technology, superior impact protection, and customizable fit features to meet the demanding needs of professional and enthusiast riders alike.
