Alpinestars Helmet S-M10 2206 ERA Gold

The goal of the Alpinestars Supertech family of helmets was to create the most advanced, best protecting and best performing helmets for racers around the world. With the S-M10, the Alpinestars Helmet Development team designed the helmet to be the perfect combination of excellent ventilation and unmatched comfort to create the lightest helmet possible, all without compromise.

The design of the S-M10 is a smooth, attractive, aerodynamic profile that is streamlined and free of any external channels or elements that can act as a load point during impact or compromise the overall structural integrity of the helmet. The curvature of the surface promotes less friction during impact, resulting in deformation and the most efficient energy transfer to protect the rider's head from direct impact to the skull and directed to the neck and spine.

• The helmets shell construction utilizes a highly advanced molding technology with a multi-composite combination:
• 3K Carbon, high density carbon outer layer that improves strength and efficiency of energy dissipation over the shell, uni directional carbon composite layer that gives significantly greater radial strength around the shell, preventing compression but allowing controlled deflection for reducing transmitted impact energy, and Aramid fiber layer which provides 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 4 density EPS liner.
• The result of the unique shell lay-up process employed in the S-M10 construction results in extremely effective impact protection. The S-M10 returning linear and oblique impact performance which exceeds current helmet regulation standard limits.
• For direct linear impacts, which is an impact at a 90-degree angle between the helmet and an object, the SM10 surpasses the new ECE 22.06 standard for 2024 by an average magnitude of 46% for regular-speed impacts.
• New for the ECE 22.06 standard, new requirements now include low-speed and high-speed linear impacts where the SM10 surpasses the new ECE 22.06 Peak Linear Acceleration standards by 23% and 28% respectively.
• And for rotational acceleration and oblique impact performance, where impact energy comes from an angle other than a linear 90-degree, or right-angle straight impact, the S-M10 exceeds the new ECE 22.06 Peak Rotational Acceleration standard by 76%.
• Removable side pads made from a semi-soft polymer for added protection provide a larger contact area to help spread impact energy.
• MIPS Multi-directional Impact Protection System.
• ERS Emergency Visor Release and a new Visor Extension to provide protection from roost and the sun.
• Redesigned chin bar?s new profile, where the base area has been specifically sculpted to give a relief section, raised to clear the collarbone, with a new softer EPS liner which extends beyond the helmet shell itself, and is covered by a more flexible rubber compound providing a reduced chance of any sort of collarbone injury.
• Patented A-Head Fitment System allows easy adjustment of the angle and height that the helmet sits on the head.
• Ultra-ventilated helmet with 28 individual intake and exhaust ports, not including the eye port, with 18 intakes and 10 exhausts.
• New eject technology includes the eject helmet removal system.
• Lightweight ECE 1260g for a size medium
