Alpinestars Supertech R10 Full Face Helmet
The result of over 10 years of intensive study, development, and testing, the goal of the Supertech family of helmets is to create the most advanced, protective, and performance-enhancing helmets possible for racers and riders worldwide. Following years of extensive research, development, and testing of the Supertech R10 road racing helmet by Alpinestars’ Helmet Product Development Department, together with MotoGP legend Andrea Dovizioso, and MotoGP riders’ Jorge Martin, and Jack Miller. With the S-R10, the focus of the design was to ensure the highest level of performance, especially when it comes to protection and a new level of safety. The S-R10 Helmet has been engineered to provide the perfect blend of excellent ventilation, unsurpassed comfort, and the lightest weight possible without compromising on any other front. Another crucial element unique to the S-R10’s design and development is the helmet’s advanced aerodynamics, with countless sessions in the wind tunnel aimed at reducing drag and providing optimal aerodynamic stability.
Two shields included, one dark and one clear.
Construction
• Carbon shell
• Multi-layer construction - Layers: Aramid Fiber Layer, Glass Fiber / Nylon Fiber Layer, UD Carbon Composite Layer, 3K High Density Carbon Outer Layer
Protection
• External and internal design and materials densities are optimized for maximum protection from linear and oblique acceleration impacts
• Shell’s lower profile is designed to protect the rider’s collarbone in a heavy impact
• EPS Protection - EPS foam designed to distribute impact absorption properties exactly where they are needed
Aerodynamics
• Overall helmet shape developed for aerodynamic efficiency and stability
• Race spoiler and winglets further reduce drag by 4.54%
• An aerodynamic spoiler is fitted with a patented release system, also utilized on the visor of the Alpinestars S-M10 motocross helmet, with elastic joints that help the spoiler detach from the helmet shell if it is subjected to a significant impact, no matter what the angle
• The lateral winglets support the stability and improves the aerodynamic dray
• The S-R10 helmet is fitted with turbulators on the visor to improve the aero-acoustic performance
Vision
• Lowered eyeport to the sides for maximum lateral vision in the riding position
• The eye port and head position is maximized for maximum view scope and riding comfort. The side line is lowered for lateral view in any position
• The shield is provided with pins for fixation of a Pinlock 120XLT - 100% Max Vision lens. It is also provided with pins for fixation of tear off films
• ECE 2206 Homologated Optical Class 1 Shield
Ventilation
• Chin Vent - The chinvent is formed by two openings located in the front of the helmet at each sides of the shield lock mechanism. Each flap has a tab in the corner, which is used to open or close the vent. Air entering from this point will be channeled towards the inner side of the shield, creating a laminated flow of air that effectively prevents fogging and misting
• Chin Bar Vents - These are used to extract humid air to the outside of the helmet
• Top Vent - The large central slider channels air down to the top of the head for better comfort. This in turn, when open, has vents for hot air extraction from the riders’ forehead
• Rear Spoiler - Under the rear spoiler, two extractor vents are located for effective hot air extraction
