The Alpinestars Supertech R10 is a newly unveiled sportbike helmet designed for professional MotoGP racers. While Alpinestars is primarily known for its motorcycle gear and equipment, this helmet marks its foray into the sportbike helmet market. The Supertech R10 is a cutting-edge helmet that combines lightweight construction with durability.
The Supertech R10
The helmet is constructed using a multi-layer composite epoxy resin, which helps strike a balance between weight reduction and strength. It has undergone wind tunnel testing to ensure stability at high speeds. The design of the shell not only provides stability but also reduces drag by 4.54 percent. Despite the focus on aerodynamics, the helmet maintains an impressive field of vision, offering 220 degrees of lateral vision and 57 degrees of vertical vision.
Visor
The visor of the Supertech R10 features an Optical Class 1 face shield. It incorporates a metal lock to prevent the visor from detaching during a crash. The helmet also features a tool-less quick-release mechanism, allowing riders to change their visors quickly. The helmet’s interior includes a multi-density EPS liner, which provides optimal impact absorption. The patented A-Head system allows riders to adjust the fit by customizing the height and angle of the EPS liner. Additionally, the helmet meets the ECE 22.06 safety standards.
Limited edition
The Alpinestars Supertech R10 is a highly limited edition helmet, with only 200 units set to be produced. The helmet will be available for purchase starting July 10, 2023, through Alpinestars’ official website. The pricing has not been disclosed at the time of writing, but it is expected to be $1,000 or higher, considering its premium features and limited production.
