The Alpinestars Supertech R10 Team Helmet combines a lightweight multi-composite outer shell with advanced impact management, aerodynamic stability, and race-focused ventilation. Part number 8200224-1383-XS features a 3K high-density carbon outer layer, unidirectional carbon composite, aramid fiber, and fiberglass bonded with pre-preg epoxy resin. This construction helps optimize the balance of resin and fiber for strength, mechanical performance, and controlled energy dissipation while limiting outer shell deflection. The energy is distributed across the shell and absorbed by the multi-density EPS liner for enhanced protection performance.
The helmet uses four optimized inner shell sizes and an eight-piece, multi-density EPS liner with six strategically positioned densities to support fit, comfort, and impact absorption. Its polished, low-friction EPS surface helps manage linear and oblique forces by allowing the comfort liner to move independently during an impact. This design can help reduce the forces transmitted to the head, neck, brain, and spine. The A-Head Fitment System allows riders to adjust the helmet's height and angle for a personalized position and secure fit.
CFD simulations, wind-tunnel testing, and track validation support the Supertech R10's aerodynamic performance. Two interchangeable spoilers, including a longer race version, use elastic joints designed to detach during significant impacts to help reduce rotational energy. Lateral winglets improve stability, while visor turbulators support aerodynamic and acoustic performance. Eleven ventilation points, including seven intakes and four exhausts, connect to internal EPS air channels to circulate airflow around the rider's head. The top slider directs air across the crown, rear extractors remove hot air, and chin-bar vents help channel airflow across the shield to reduce fogging and misting.
Features:
- Outer Shell: Multi-composite construction combines 3K high-density carbon, unidirectional carbon composite, aramid fiber, and fiberglass for strength, controlled energy dissipation, and limited shell deflection.
- Pre-Preg Composite Bonding: Epoxy resin is applied to the pre-preg fibers to help optimize the resin-to-fiber ratio for consistent mechanical performance.
- Inner Shell: Four inner shell sizes support an optimized fit, improved comfort, reduced weight, and effective impact performance.
- Multi-Density EPS Liner: Eight-piece construction uses six specific densities positioned throughout the liner for impact absorption and a close, comfortable fit.
- Oblique Impact Management: A polished, low-friction EPS surface allows the comfort liner to move against the shell to help reduce rotational and oblique forces.
- A-Head Fitment System: Adjusts the helmet's height and angle to accommodate rider preference and head position.
- Aerodynamics: CFD development, wind-tunnel testing, and track validation support low-drag performance and aerodynamic stability.
- Interchangeable Spoilers: Includes standard and longer race spoilers with elastic joints designed to detach during significant impacts.
- Ventilation: Eleven ventilation points, internal air channels, a top slider, rear exhausts, and chin-bar vents promote airflow and help reduce shield fogging.
