Alpinestars Supertech M8 Factory MIPS Helmet

Alpinestars Supertech M8 Factory MIPS Helmet is an Alpinestars riding helmet for motocross, off-road, and riding days where coverage, ventilation, and comfort matter. The Alpinestars Supertech M8 Factory MIPS Helmet is the kind of piece where fit, airflow, and coverage matter every time you put it on.

Why We Like It

The Alpinestars Supertech M8 Factory MIPS Helmet gives Alpinestars riders a dedicated option for building the rest of the kit around.

Why It Works For You

The Alpinestars Supertech M8 Factory MIPS Helmet works for riders who want a helmet choice built around comfort, coverage, and an Alpinestars kit.

Key Features

• Shell construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination: uni-directional carbon composite with aramid layer that gives significant radial strength around the shell, preventing compression but allowing controlled deflection for reducing transmitted impact energy, and providing critical penetration protection
• This combination of layers is given even greater performance with an epoxy resin bonding that offers the best possible strength and energy management, limited outer shell deflection means the energy spreads wider and is better absorbed by the EPS liner
• The Supertech M8 liner construction combines with the shell to offer highly efficient impact energy management
• Formed with a multi-density EPS polymer, the energy absorbing layer gives an inner helmet profile which soaks up forces dissipated over the outer shell at the point of an impact and provides a shape offering a close and comfortable fit
• Four section liner construction allows for specific densities of polymer to be prepared for different zones around the helmet lining improving energy performance, comfort and fit
• A-Head fitting height and angle adjustment system
• Incorporates a system to allow the helmet to be tuned exactly to the rider’s preference for the height and angle at which the helmet sits on the head allowing for ultra-specific set-up that can be adapted for the type of riding and the rider’s preference
• Raise and lower helmet fit and tilt with micro-adjustable pad
• Visor release system ensuring the mounting is held securely in place for riding over extreme terrain and any track conditions
• Visor release system provides the right level of resistance to ensure the visor detaches from the helmet shell if it is subjected to a significant impact regardless of angle
• The Supertech M8 visor release mechanism is conceived to avoid the inherent weaknesses in other types of anchoring systems
• Maintaining shell integrity is vital for safety and with the possibility of multi-directional forces impacting on the visor, separation at the critical point of leading reduces potentially damaging leverage and rotational accelerations that refer injury to the rider’s neck and spine
• The base of the Supertech M8 helmet has been sculpted to give a relief section, where the bottom profile is raised to clear the collarbone (clavicle)
• Energy absorption pad incorporated into the area of the base pad where it sits over the rider’s collarbone
