The Alpinestars Supertech R10 Element Helmet combines advanced carbon composite construction with race-developed performance for riders who demand high levels of protection, stability, and comfort. This large helmet features a multi-composite outer shell made from a 3K high-density carbon outer layer, uni-directional carbon composite, aramid fiber, and fiberglass. The pre-preg fiber construction is bonded with epoxy resin to precisely control the resin-to-fiber ratio, helping maximize strength, mechanical performance, and lightweight efficiency while limiting shell deflection and improving energy management through the EPS liner.
The inner shell uses an eight-piece, multi-density EPS liner with six strategically positioned densities to help absorb and distribute impact forces. Four inner shell sizes support a more precise fit, improving comfort, reducing unnecessary weight, and enhancing helmet performance during an impact. The smooth, specially coated EPS surface creates a low-friction area that helps manage linear and oblique forces. This design allows the comfort liner to move independently against the EPS, helping reduce force transmission to the head, neck, brain, and spine during an oblique impact. The A-Head Fitment System allows riders to adjust both the height and angle of the helmet for a personalized fit and seating position.
Developed through CFD simulations and validated in wind tunnel and track testing, the Supertech R10 is optimized for aerodynamic stability and low drag. It includes standard and longer race spoilers with elastic joints designed to detach during a significant impact to help reduce potential rotational energy. Lateral winglets further support stability, while visor turbulators help improve aero-acoustic performance. Eleven ventilation points, excluding the eye port, include chin and top intakes, rear exhausts, integrated air channels, and a large central top slider. The ventilation system directs cooling air over the rider’s head while helping extract heat and humidity from the helmet.
The chin bar vents are positioned beside the shield lock mechanism and channel air toward the inner shield surface to help prevent fogging and misting. Additional chin bar and rear exhaust ports promote effective airflow through the helmet. The Alpinestars Supertech R10 Element Helmet is finished in Carbon/Silver/Black and supplied in Large. Part number 8200324-1368-L identifies this specific configuration.
