The Alpinestars Youth SM3 Wurx Helmet is designed for young riders who need dependable impact protection, a secure fit, and effective ventilation during off-road riding. This Small helmet features a lightweight thermo-injected shell made from an advanced impact-resistant thermoplastic polymer blend. Variable shell thickness is engineered to balance protection and reduced weight, while the multiple-density inner liner uses the appropriate density in key areas to help absorb impact energy.
Protection is further enhanced by engineered low-friction surfaces designed to help reduce the effects of oblique impacts. A low-friction coating on the main EPS liner functions as a slip plane, helping reduce rotational acceleration forces during certain angled impacts. The visor release system is calibrated to release at a predetermined force, helping reduce forces transmitted to the rider’s neck during an impact. Stainless steel D-rings provide a secure closure, and the 25 mm soft textile chin strap supports comfort during extended use.
Fit and usability are central to the Youth SM3 design. The crown and cheek pads can be replaced with different thicknesses to tailor the fit to the rider’s head, while removable cheek pads and the Emergency Release System support safer helmet removal after an incident. Integrated hydration tube channels in the cheek pads help keep hydration systems organized. Ten air inlets and seven exhaust ports promote airflow and heat exchange, with the visor shaped to direct air toward the ventilation openings. The recycled-material comfort liner helps reduce environmental impact without sacrificing rider comfort. This Alpinestars youth motocross helmet is supplied in Gloss Black, Yellow Fluo, Blue, and Red and is identified by manufacturer part number 8302025-1574-YS and vendor part number 8302025-1574-YS.
